CommUnity Project
This activity is included in the CommUnity project, which is co-financed by the European Commission. 11 public and private institutions from 7 EU countries participate in this project. The CommUnity project aims to address issues such as marginalisation, inequality, discrimination and denial of rights and create new opportunities to promote peace and shared values ​​through artistic and cultural expression. By giving a voice to young people who feel marginalised or treated unfairly, we can build powerful communities with a greater sense of belonging, well-being and self-esteem.

Youth Creative CommUnity Campaign
Youth Creative CommUnity aims to engage with young people through the lens of arts and creativity. To that end, within different Youth Clubs, small artistic groups are established and artistic activities are being organised. The Youth Creative Clubs are guided by artists and youth workers.

Young people are encouraged to find creative ways to express themselves in various forms, such as music, painting, digital animation, graffiti or photography. Moreover, the participants will have the chance to present their works in a two-day Festival. The topic of the International Youth Creative Festival is “Peaceful Together” and it aims to promote peace through artistic expression.
