ZO3 Association proposes a young cultural exchange focuses on difficulties that young creative people can find in the promotion of their works, how to find places where they realize their live performances, to promote their creations and how to gain visibility both in relation to the local administrators and circuits International; at the same time, ZO3 focuses on finding the opportunity to experience a vibrant contamination between different languages and stage training, in an intercultural context .
These difficulties are reflected to a greater extent on young people with fewer opportunities who rarely have the possibility to be involved in socialization experiences that enhance their self-esteem.
The objectives of the project are:
- To create a space for artistic and creative confrontation that has visibility, even in reference to the local community, through the implementation of a final public performance, with a provisional title "The Future Prospects", born from the artistic interaction, realized by young people during the exchange.
- To allow young artists to make a comparison and exchange focuses on the difficulties and on the solutions adopted to promote their presence and their ability to act in their life contexts.
- Through the creation of the blog "Artist for Europe”, creating an international ex-change and knowledge network related to future artistic creations of young people, in which will be published notices concerning residences, contexts, awards, casting, courses, etc… related to the various art forms in their respective countries.
In this exchange will be involved 10 young people for each partner country, from 18 to 25 years old, that have artistic interests in the field of live performance or in organization.
In the project will be involved young people with fewer opportunities and in the selection and in the participant activities will be guarantee a gender balance.
The activity is a bilateral youth exchange between Italy and Romania and will take place in Palermo, from October 16 to 25 in 2014, based on non-formal education method and on informal learning.
Association " ZO3 " will be the host and coordinator organization, in partnership with the
"ASOCIATIA TINERI PARTENERI PENTRU DEZVOLTAREA SOCIETATII CIVILE“ organization.
Between host organization and partner organization there was a distribution of roles as a result of several Skype meetings and mail exchanges.
The VPP was also planned and both parties will provide agreement documents signed.
In general, the activities have been partially extracted and reworked from various “tools” made available by the SALTO-youth Agency and partly elaborated by ZO3 educators and by Partner organization. Following the implementation of the project, it will be published in a "tool“ to be included in the " Toolbox for training “ of SALTO Agency.
The wealth of expertise, knowledge, skills and attitudes that young participants will gain, will make them more aware of their acquisition of key skills and it will allow them to be involved, in a long-term perspective, to exponentially increase their training and employment opportunities.
The young participants will be able to take Youthpass certificate.
