Youth exchange: "In Motion, In Mind: A Creative Well-Being Lab"

Understanding yourself through creative movement, your surroundings and reflection.

Before we can take care of our well-being, we need to answer a more basic question: do we actually know ourselves? Many young people today live disconnected lives, sitting for hours, thinking in loops, feeling stress in their bodies without knowing where it comes from or how to release it. This workshop starts from a simple conviction: the deepest form of self-knowledge does not come from thinking about yourself, but from experiencing yourself and that begins in the body.

Overview:

Location: Barcelona, Spain.

When: 18th – 25th September 2026

Deadline Application: 10th August 2026

Eligibility is limited to applicants from: Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland and Portugal.

Eligible age: 15 to 30 years old. ( youth leader over 30 years old)

Accommodation and food covered – 3 meals – 2 coffee breaks

Travel reimbursement: costs will be reimbursed according to the Erasmus+ Distance Calculator. ( Infopack )

What's about...

The aim of this Youth Exchange is self-understanding: learning to listen to what your body is telling you, recognising your own emotional patterns, and discovering how you react, move, rest and connect. Creative movement is an ideal tool for this exploration because the body speaks before words do. Emotions like stress, fear, joy and calm live in our posture, breath and gestures, often hidden, rarely listened to.

Through improvisation, guided movement practices and observation exercises, participants meet themselves in a new way: not through screens or comparisons, but through direct, lived experience. Moving beyond the workshop room deepens this process: whether in a park, a forest, a courtyard or the streets of the city, our surroundings change how we move, perceive and feel, and observing this teaches us as much about ourselves as about the world around us.

The workshop creates a safe, judgement-free space where no dance or art experience is needed — only curiosity about who you are. Each element of the lab opens a different door to yourself:

Creative movement and improvisation reveal your habits, impulses and emotional patterns and build the confidence to embrace uncertainty;
Practice in different surroundings nature, parks, urban spaces, reconnects you with your own pace and shows how environments shape your mood, movement and attention;
Painting and visual reflection transform inner experience into images, making the invisible visible and turning sensation into self-insight;
Observation and reflection circles train self-awareness, empathy and the ability to see yourself through both your own eyes and the eyes of others.

By the end, participants will have co-created a collection of movement pieces and collaborative visual works expressing who they are and what well-being means to them shared in a final open studio event. More importantly, they will take home a deeper relationship with themselves: practical, embodied tools for self-awareness, self-regulation and emotional expression that keep working long after the exchange ends.

This workshop contributes directly to European Youth Goal #5: Mental Health & Well-being, empowering young people to understand themselves, because knowing who you are, how you feel and what you need is the foundation of mental health, resilience and authentic connection with others.

Objectives...

To develop self-awareness and body awareness through daily creative movement and improvisation, learning to recognise how emotions show up in posture, breath and gesture.
To equip participants with practical tools for self-regulation and stress management they can use in everyday life.
To strengthen emotional expression and creative confidence through movement and painting as non-verbal.
To explore how different surroundings — nature, parks, urban spaces — shape our mood, movement and attention, and how to use them as a resource for well-being.
To foster empathy, non-verbal communication and intercultural connection through shared movement, observation and reflection.

Youth exchange: ARTivism LAB – Co-creating democratic voices through visual art, performance, and digital storytelling.

ARTivism LAB - Co-creating democratic voices through visual art, performance, and digital storytelling.

You have something to say. About your city, your future, your Europe – or the Europe you wish existed. The question is: does anyone actually hear you?

This exchange is built on one radical idea: your creativity is a democratic act. ARTivism LAB brings together young people from across Europe to explore what it really means to be a citizen right now – not through lectures or PowerPoints, but through paint, movement, cameras, and the kind of honest conversation that only happens when you make something together.

Overview:

Location: Berlin, Germany.

When: 15th – 22nd June 2026.

Deadline Application: 18th May 2026.

Eligibility is limited to applicants from: Germany, Czech Republic, Norway, Romania and Poland.

Eligible age: 15 to 30 years old. ( youth leader over 30 years old)

What's about...

ARTivism LAB

Co-creating democratic voices through visual art, performance, and digital storytelling.

You have something to say. About your city, your future, your Europe – or the Europe you wish existed. The question is: does anyone actually hear you?

Through immersive, hands-on experiences – collaborative murals, performative activism, and digital storytelling – participants dig into their relationship with European democracy and ask the questions that matter: Who gets a voice? What does participation actually look like? And what would change if young people were truly at the centre of it?

No artistic experience needed. No wrong answers. Just you, your ideas, and a group of people from across Europe who showed up for the same reason you did.

Each art form opens a different door:

Visual art gives shape to the things that are hard to put into words – your values, your frustrations, your vision;
Performance gives you the courage to take up space, be seen, and make people feel what you feel;
Digital storytelling puts you behind the camera – so you get to decide whose story gets told, and how.

By the end of the week, you’ll have co-created a collective ARTivist portfolio – a real, shareable body of work that shows what European democracy looks like from where you actually stand. And you’ll leave with more than that: a Youthpass recognising your learning, and the tools to keep making your voice heard when you get home.

This exchange is rooted in European Youth Goal #1: Connecting EU with Youth — and it turns that goal from a policy statement into something you can touch, see, perform, and

Objectives...

To empower young people from across Europe to reclaim democratic participation as a creative act, using art as a tool to express their voices, bridge the gap between youth and EU institutions, and become active, confident citizens in their communities.

1. To create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space where young people from diverse European backgrounds can explore the connection between artistic expression and democratic citizenship, experiencing Europe not as an abstract institution, but as a living community they belong to.
2. To introduce ARTivist methodologies — visual art, performance, and digital storytelling as accessible and powerful tools for civic self-expression, making democratic participation tangible, personal, and creative for every participant regardless of prior experience.
3. To foster intercultural dialogue and transnational solidarity by bringing young people together across borders to co-create shared artistic and civic narratives, turning the act of making something together into an experience of European citizenship itself.
4. To produce a collective ARTivist portfolio, a real, shareable body of work that makes young people’s perspectives on European democracy visible, public, and impossible to ignore, amplifying youth voices beyond the exchange and into their wider communities.
5. To equip participants with transferable ARTivist tools, non-formal education methods, and a Youthpass recognition of their learning, so that the impact of the exchange travels home with them and continues to grow long after the last day.

Youth Exchange: ID Art Lab – Exploring Identity & Belonging

Youth Exchange: ID Art Lab – Exploring Identity & Belonging

Youth Exchange: ID ART LAB: Exploring Identity & Belonging

This activity invites young people to explore themes of identity, gender equality, tolerance, and inclusion through a creative and reflective process centred on the development of a digital magazine. It provides a structured yet open space where participants can question, express, and redefine their understanding of themselves and others in relation to the social, cultural, and political contexts they are part of.

In contemporary societies, young people are increasingly exposed to diverse identities, perspectives, and expectations, while at the same time facing persistent stereotypes, discrimination, and social pressures. Many experience a sense of not being fully heard or represented within traditional systems. This activity responds to this gap by offering an alternative platform where their voices, experiences, and viewpoints can be explored and made visible.

Overview:

Location: Barcelona, Spain.

When: 10th – 17th May 2026

Deadline Application: 05th April 2026.

Eligibility is limited to applicants from: Germany, Spain, Italy, Romania and Portugal.

Eligible age: 15 to 30 years old. ( youth leader over 30 years old)

What's about...

ID Art Lab: Exploring Identity & Belonging

Through engagement with topics such as gender roles, social norms, belonging, intersectionality, and diversity, participants are encouraged to critically reflect on how identities are constructed and negotiated. The process supports them in recognising both personal experiences and structural dimensions of inequality, fostering a deeper understanding of how inclusion and exclusion operate in everyday life.

The digital magazine acts as both a creative framework and a space for dialogue. It enables participants to transform reflection into expression, combining personal storytelling with broader social perspectives. By bringing together different voices, backgrounds, and viewpoints, the magazine becomes a collective narrative that reflects the diversity of the group while highlighting common challenges and shared aspirations.

At the same time, the activity strengthens participants’ sense of ownership and agency. By contributing to a shared product, young people experience their ideas as valuable and impactful. The process encourages active participation, collaboration, and mutual learning, reinforcing the idea that everyone has a voice and a role in shaping more inclusive and equitable societies.

Ultimately, this activity goes beyond content creation. It creates a meaningful learning experience in which young people can explore identity as a dynamic and evolving process, engage in constructive dialogue on equality and inclusion, and develop a stronger sense of connection both to themselves and to others.

Objectives...

To create a safe and inclusive space for young people to explore and express their identities
To deepen understanding of gender equality, diversity, and social inclusion
To encourage critical reflection on stereotypes, discrimination, and societal norms
To empower young people to voice their perspectives and experiences
To strengthen a sense of belonging, mutual respect, and solidarity

Learning Outcomes

Participants will:

Develop a deeper awareness of their own identity and the identities of others
Gain a more nuanced understanding of equality, inclusion, and social justice
Strengthen their ability to reflect critically on social norms and power dynamics
Increase confidence in expressing personal opinions and experiences
Enhance their sense of agency and participation in social issues

Impact

This activity contributes to both individual and collective transformation. On an individual level, participants are empowered to better understand themselves, express their identities, and engage more confidently with issues related to equality and inclusion. They develop a stronger sense of agency and feel more equipped to challenge stereotypes and discrimination in their daily lives.

On a group level, the activity fosters a culture of openness, respect, and dialogue. It strengthens connections among participants and promotes empathy by creating space for diverse perspectives to be shared and acknowledged.

On a broader level, the digital magazine serves as a visible and tangible outcome that amplifies youth voices. It can be shared with peers, communities, and stakeholders, contributing to raising awareness and encouraging wider discussions on identity, equality, and inclusion. In this way, the activity extends its impact beyond the immediate group and supports the promotion of more inclusive and equitable societies.

Through non-formal learning and shared reflection, participants co-create a practical “Art Box” — a collection of creative tools that support resilience, self-expression, and emotional awareness in everyday life.

Overview:

Location: Malaga, Spain.

When: 17th – 24th April 2026

Deadline Application: 15th March 2026

Eligibility is limited to applicants from: Germany, Spain, Italy, Romania and Portugal.

“Before applying, we suggest that you read the Infopack and ensure you are familiar with the information it contains.” (PDF Below)

What's about...

“Art Box” is a youth exchange that explores art as a practical and accessible tool for mental health and emotional wellbeing. The project directly contributes to European Youth Goal #5: Mental Health & Wellbeing, which calls for improved mental health support, prevention strategies, and the promotion of emotional resilience among young people across Europe.

Young people today face increasing levels of stress, anxiety, social pressure, and uncertainty. Despite growing awareness around mental health, many still lack simple, non-clinical coping tools they can apply in everyday life. There is a need for preventive approaches that are accessible, inclusive, and youth-friendly.

This youth exchange creates a safe and creative space in Málaga where participants explore artistic practices as coping mechanisms. Art is approached not as performance or talent, but as a medium for expression, grounding, emotional regulation, and connection.

Through shared exploration, reflection, and intercultural dialogue, participants co-create an “Art Box in Times of Need” a collection of creative coping practices designed by young people for young people.

Objectives...

Promote mental wellbeing through creative and accessible methodologies.
Encourage emotional awareness and self-expression among young people.
Provide practical artistic tools for coping with stress.
Foster intercultural dialogue through shared creative experiences.
Strengthen peer connection and safe spaces for emotional exchange.

The Artistic Exploration Journey

The youth exchange functions as an immersive creative laboratory where participants explore four artistic dimensions as coping mechanisms:

Creative Movement

Body-based practices to explore how emotions are stored physically and how movement can support grounding, release, and energy regulation.

Visual Arts

Portrait work, painting, mural creation, and neurographical art to externalize emotions and transform internal states into visual expression.

Journaling & Narrative Expression

Reflective writing and storytelling exercises to clarify thoughts, express internal dialogue, and reframe experiences.

Nature & Sensory Practices

Outdoor activities and grounding techniques to reconnect with the senses and reduce emotional overwhelm.

Each activity is followed by guided reflection, helping participants understand how creative processes influence their emotional state.

Using video, performance, and visual art, participants examine how identity, culture, and personal experience shape the way we see one another. Art becomes a space where hidden stories, emotions, and perspectives can surface, allowing participants to question stereotypes and better understand diversity.

Through collaborative creation and reflection, the group experiments with different artistic languages: performance to embody empathy, visual art to reimagine symbols of belonging, and video to capture and share personal narratives. These activities encourage open dialogue and help participants recognise both the differences and common ground within the group.

What's about...

“Inclusive Societies: An Experiential Art-Lab”

Co-creating new narratives of belonging through video, performance and visual expression.

Inclusive societies do not emerge by accident—they are created through dialogue, empathy, and the courage to see the world through someone else’s perspective. This workshop uses the power of the arts to explore what inclusion truly means in our everyday lives. Drawing on video art, performance, and visual expression, participants engage with the core idea that diversity is not simply a fact, but a value that we actively shape together.

Art is an ideal tool for this exploration because it makes visible what is often hidden: emotions, assumptions, and the unspoken barriers that influence how we relate to others. Through immersive experiences—such as performative storytelling, visual experimentation, and collaborative video pieces—participants are invited to reflect on their own identities and the realities of people from different cultural, social, and personal backgrounds.

The workshop creates a safe, creative space where young people can question stereotypes, discover shared experiences, and imagine new ways of living together. Each artistic medium opens a different door:

Performance encourages embodiment and empathy;
Visual arts provide reflection, symbolism, and reinterpretation;
Video allows participants to frame stories, amplify voices, and construct new narratives of belonging.

By the end, participants will have co-created a small collection of artistic outputs that express what an inclusive society looks and feels like from their perspective. More importantly, they will have strengthened their capacity for tolerance, acceptance, and intercultural dialogue—skills essential for a diverse and democratic Europe.

This workshop contributes directly to European Youth Goal #3: Inclusive Societies, empowering youth not only to understand inclusion but to actively practice it through creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.

OBJECTIVES

To explore the meaning of inclusive societies through art-based, experiential learning.
Participants investigate concepts such as diversity, belonging, representation, and social inclusion using video, performance, and visual art.

To promote tolerance, acceptance, and intercultural dialogue among young people.
Collaborative creation and exchange help foster respect for different identities, backgrounds, and perspectives.

To amplify youth voices by using creative media as a form of expression and empowerment.
Participants learn to communicate personal and collective experiences through artistic processes that strengthen confidence and self-expression.

To develop critical thinking around inclusion, stereotypes, and social cohesion.
Art becomes a lens for analysing how societies include or exclude groups, and for questioning social norms.
To strengthen teamwork, communication, and collaborative problem-solving skills.
Working across artistic mediums encourages cooperation, shared responsibility, and collective decision-making.
To support participants in recognising and articulating their learning outcomes through YouthPass.
Throughout the exchange, participants reflect on personal development linked to the eight Key Competences for Lifelong Learning.

What's about...

Across Europe and beyond, young people are facing growing emotional and psychological stress. Constant exposure to global crises, social division, discrimination, and instability affects their wellbeing and shapes how they see themselves and the world around them. Many feel overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure of where they belong — and often lack spaces where they can safely process their emotions, talk about mental health, or connect with others who understand.

Brave Minds, Brave Futures is a youth exchange that responds to these realities with creativity, empathy, and courage. It brings together young people from different backgrounds to explore the links between mental health, identity, and today’s social climate — using art as a tool for reflection, self-expression, and collective healing.

Through non-formal education methods and creative practices (visual arts, performance, writing, and digital media), participants will explore:

how external pressures impact their emotional landscape,
how stigma and silence around mental health can limit connection,
and how questions of identity, safety, and belonging are shaped by the world they live in.

Together, they will build a supportive, inclusive space where vulnerability is welcomed and creativity becomes a form of resistance, storytelling, and hope. Through shared experiences and co-created artistic outputs, participants will transform isolation into dialogue and reclaim the right to feel, speak, and imagine new futures.

Objectives...

Promote mental health awareness among youth affected by stress related to societal changes, injustice, and identity-based challenges.
Provide safe and inclusive spaces for young people to share their lived experiences and emotional responses.
Encourage critical thinking and emotional literacy, helping youth link personal feelings to broader systemic pressures.
Use creative tools to process emotions, foster healing, and express hope or dissent.

What's about...

This youth exchange is for those who love to move, think creatively, embrace new perspectives, and share their energy in an open and dynamic environment.

In an era where urban life is increasingly fast-paced and demanding, young people often find themselves overwhelmed by stress. This youth exchange aims to explore how public spaces in the city can be transformed into places of well-being, creativity, and resilience. Through performance-based activities, participants will engage with the urban environment in new ways, discovering possibilities for self-expression, connection, and stress management. By using movement, storytelling, and artistic interventions, we will reimagine the city not as a source of pressure, but as a stage for empowerment and emotional balance.

This exchange brings together young people from different backgrounds to share experiences, learn from each other, and co-create performances that interact with the urban landscape. By stepping outside conventional indoor spaces, we challenge the way we relate to our surroundings and uncover new ways to foster mental well-being in daly city life.
