‘Pathways’ is a participatory arts project for children and young people from London’s refugee and asylum seeking communities. For over 13 years Kazzum has worked with numerous refugee community groups to provide access to arts activities that culminate in an exhibition or performance that provides insight to the migrant experience. The EVS volunteer’s placement will focus on the latest Pathways project entitled 'Cliff Hanger’ which explores young people making films, animation and artwork that explore the migrant experience. The work created in the Pathways workshops will be integrated into Kazzum’s professional theatre productions, which include a site-specific theatre production and outdoor touring shows. The volunteer will support the co-ordination and delivery of the creative workshops, supporting workshop leaders and participants, and will also have the opportunity to support on the production processes of the theatrical shows. The project promotes understanding of the migrant experience in Europe by encouraging our young participants and audiences to reflect upon themes of identity, inclusion and marginalisation. The project encourages participants to use creative arts activities to engage with and reflect upon their intercultural learning. The results include challenging stereotypes and viewpoints that perpetuate discrimination, and celebrating cultural values despite differences. As the work created is always presented publicly, the results can have an impact far beyond the participants in the project. The EVS volunteer will gain from non-formal, work-based learning experiences, developing their competencies, both personal and professional. If relevant, the placement can help young people explore various career options in the arts and creative sector. There will be 2 placements, each lasting for 9 months, and are open to applicants from Austria via the project partner Jugendinfo Niederosterreich. Kazzum only hosts 1 volunteer at a time, so the 2 placements will take place over a minimum of an 18 month period, ideally back to back. The volunteers will enable with on-going exchange between Kazzum and staff and young people at JugendInfo to enrich the work of both organisations.
