What's about...

The youth exchange serves as a dynamic platform for young people to explore the powerful intersection of art and social change, providing them with opportunities to reflect deeply on the concept of inclusive societies. Over the course of five days, participants will engage in a diverse range of activities designed to inspire creative expression, foster collaboration, and encourage critical dialogue.

 

The exchange is structured to include interactive workshops, field trips to significant locations, and hands-on artistic projects, all aimed at exploring key themes such as inclusion, diversity, and equality. Participants will work in teams, collaborating to share ideas, develop artistic skills, and express their unique perspectives through filmmaking and other forms of art. They will also take part in open discussions where they can challenge existing ideas and build a deeper understanding of what it means to create inclusive and equitable societies.

 

Throughout the program, participants will be supported by experienced facilitators and local artists, helping them to reflect on their experiences and grow both creatively and personally. By the end of the exchange, they will not only have developed new skills and connections but also a more profound sense of the social impact that art can have on building inclusive communities.

 

Objectives...

  • Promote Understanding of Inclusion and Diversity Through Creative Expression: Encourage participants to explore and understand the principles of inclusion, diversity, and equality. Through filmmaking, they will express these concepts, drawing from their own experiences and perspectives.

 

  • Empower Youth to Use Art and Film as Tools for Social Change: Equip participants with the skills and confidence to use artistic mediums, particularly documentary filmmaking, as powerful tools to raise awareness and foster dialogue on important social issues like inclusion and equality.

 

  • Foster Collaboration and Intercultural Dialogue Among Young People: Create an environment where young people from diverse backgrounds can collaborate, share ideas, and engage in meaningful conversations. This will help them appreciate different viewpoints and work together to create a shared vision of inclusive societies.

 

  • Encourage Critical Thinking About Social Structures and Barriers to Inclusion: Through workshops and brainstorming sessions, participants will critically reflect on the societal challenges and barriers that prevent true inclusion. They will develop creative ways to address these issues in their documentaries.

 

  • Create a Platform for Youth to Share Their Visions of an Inclusive Society: Provide participants with the opportunity to produce and showcase their own mini-documentaries, which will act as a platform for them to share their unique perspectives and contribute to the larger conversation about what it means to live in an inclusive society.
