Brief description: “CultureYouthLab: Youth Activation and Emancipation through Creative Processes” will take advantage of the full range of expertise of the 6 local partner organisations in the areas of art, education, and citizenship. The project will build an innovative methodological model that serves to improve various professional areas. Formal and non-formal education, culture, and social and health services should be better connected to optimise resources and efficiency in their strategies and tactics.

Incorporating artists and creators and cultural programs into socio-educational and training processes can improve learning and promotes social inclusion. We will collect existing initiatives and collectively design a methodological model that will be evaluated and tested in each participating country. We will organise training events for trainers and for young educators and artists so that later in their respective countries they can multiply the processes. Later, we will create several products that will serve to inspire, guide and train youth actors in the development of socio-educational projects that incorporate artistic and cultural processes. And finally, we will present the results of the project in different informative actions that will promote above all the increase of formal and informal networks, of interdisciplinary connections.

"CultureYouthLab: Youth Activation and Emancipation through Creative Processes" will serve to improve socio-educational programs and to strengthen the cultural arts sector. This pandemic has shown us that we must adapt to innovations in technology to help us better provide services for youth. Art and culture are cross cutting elements of this project. These elements will help us to be more socially inclusive, improve learning, employability and promote good citizenship.
