Laboratoire interculturel, créatif et citoyen pour la jeunesse
Start date: Jan 4, 2016, End date: Jul 3, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Creative, Intercultural and citizenship laboratory for young peopleWith the objective of a bigger project between La Gare Franche-Cosmos Kolej (FR), artistic residency in Marseille and WALPURGIS (BE) theater and musical company in flanders based at DeFeniks in Mortsel (Antwerp), we wish to realise a young exchange to experiment a creative, intercultural and citizenship laboratory. With this social and cultural issue, 25 young people of the suburbs of Marseille (Gare Franche Group) will come during six days in the suburbs of Antwerp at Mortsel. They will be welcomed in the artistic residency of Walpurgis in order to meet 14 young people (NEST group). 39 participants from 14 to 22 years old (Boys and grils mixed) and 5 group leaders will meet each other, and share an experience.This exchange time aims to create news tools to cultivate young autonomy, open spirit and creativity. It's made to connect two territories in Europe and develop durable links built by a cultural project. The program will propose theater, contemporary music and opera workshops in order to imagine, experiment a common language thanks to art practice. The planning is balanced with informal workshops but federative like « co-cooking », and citizen café with intent to create the democratic debate and assert its voice in the society. During this week, the group will visit three major cultural places : Het Bos, an undergroung place for youth, Hetpaleis, the Royal Theatre for young audience in Antwerp and La Monnaie, the Bruxelles Opera house.Our strategic bias for this project is to build together, to co-construct between partners in order to elaborate a specific training to shake artistic practices. We will keep this method with participants by involving them to make propositions before, during and after the project.At the end of the exchange, the young people will be able to keep relationships together like artistic correspondents and to use the weblog to communicate about the project. This program could become a durable tool of training and experimentation to expand youth creativity and autonomy. It is also an opportunity for both structures to pilot a first project before implementing a larger one. We plan to answer to the call of project of Europe Creative in 2016.
