Creative engagement - using city as an action tool
Start date: Mar 1, 2012,

Youth projects should conquer public space and make out initiatives and demands more visible to common people. T.C. 3.1. CREATIVE ENGAGEMENT - using city as an action tool, encourages youth workers to use ART ENGAGED ACTIVISM as method that combines different innovative approaches to include general public into youth initiatives. Urban Interventions, Community Public Art and Site specific theatre are artistic methods that can easily connect community with certain social issues in creative and inclusive way. Our goal is to bring our enthusiasm on streets and communicate our idea with wider population! TC will be great opportunity for youth workers to get fresh ideas and obtain new skills that will help their initiatives spread in public. Youth projects are sometimes far from common people, seminars held behind closed doors, exchanges that involve only selected participants and they often do not include larger community. Creative engagement gives possibility to include people around, passengers on the street, youth from the neighborhood.. It explores creative ways to communicate through art, installations, street performances and graffiti with global population and to find solutions for social issues in joint activities. TC will gather 30 participants from Italy, Slovenia, UK, Romania, Montenegro, Croatia, Albania, Macedonia, France and Serbia to explore new possibilities for youth work. We will look at the history of these practices from across the world over the past 30 years, how they have evolved and how can we apply them in our strategies. All these art practices communicate with urban surrounding and citizens, using public space to question our everyday living, decisions we undertake in politics, towards global issues and social changes. TC will be organized in Belgrade in April, and it will combine workshops, lectures, visits to multimedia artists, learning by doing activities and public presentations&discussions.
