The idea is to discover concepts on peace, various forms of violence, conflict, peace building, culture of peace and human rights.
But also to understand the importance of peaceful social participation with the focus on art as a tool to bring change in local and international communities.
In the end the participants will create a common booklet "Drawing for Peace" and building four really loud local actions in our local communities!
The aim of the project is to equip young artists with peace-building and human rights education skills to address issues that are a threat to peace, especially in unprecedented times like a war or a global pandemic.
Objectives:
- To develop an understanding of concepts of peace, peace education and human rights;
- To explore the links between peace education and art;
- To develop the competence to design, run and evaluate a peace education activity by using creative artistic tools and methods;
- To empower young artists to express themselves online and in one local event per participant country in order to reach a wider audience;
- To empower youth to take initiative in times of crises to promote common values and keep the human spirit up through art;
- To strengthen the YPA network and promote peacebuilding and human rights activities reinforced with artistic tools and methods.
