Summary
Objectives:
V.E.G.A. project aims to raise awareness among young people about European policies addressing them and, in particular, the European Youth Goals.
Young participants will be trained on the importance of the E.Y.G. and will later create five visual art pieces (comics, graffiti, photography, graphic and video art) as informative tools for their peers and the community. The creation of these artworks will help young participants develop new skills, and be active citizens.
Activities:
– An International Training for youth and youth workers on the European Youth Goals;
– Exchange of knowledge among young peers about E.Y.G.;
– Local workshops about visual arts (comics, graffiti, photography, graphic art and video art);
– Creation of at least 5 artworks (one per country);
– 5 local exhibitions for the artworks (one per country);
– 1 virtual exhibition on the project’s website;
– Local multiplier events in Italy, Spain, Germany and Hungary. An International multiplier event in Portugal.
Impact:
– Young people and youth workers acquire knowledge and develop skills through the practical application of non-formal methodologies and the use of visual arts for informative and learning purposes.
– Young people increase awareness about the European Youth Goals, their importance and their concrete effects in their life.
– Stakeholders, institutions and the communities increase their social awareness regarding young people, youth workers and their needs.
