Emotions are human and animal subjective reactions to a outer and inner irritation. You can express your emotions in different ways - art, music, literature, theater etc. A better understanding of emotions makes a stronger personality and deeper understanding of individual spiritual mind.
The project aim was to promote youth creativity, self expression and understanding of emotions with therapeutic photography, literary an unformal education methods, encouraging youth to spend more time outside in nature. We took few emotions/themes(dedicate one full day for every emotion) - freedom/lonliness, being lost, being blind, confusion, creation/destruction, belonging. Then we went outside in nature, city and individually took photos that associate with the given emotion. Then in small groups we talked about the taken pictures, created stories and performances about this emotions/pictures. In the end of this project we organised two exhibitions - in Spain and in Cesis - with the photos and stories and during the opening of exhibitions youth expressed their opinions and their benefits from this exchange. This project gathered 9 participants and 1 leader from Cesis, Latvia and 9 participants and 1 leader from Zaragoza, Spain, the exchange took place in a small vilage in Spain - Ores. As a result the organizations and local societies gained youth with stronger personalities and developed creative thinking and were motivated to carry out their own initiatives.
