Youth Exchange”Creative Echoes: Balancing Art & Well-being in European Youth”

Youth Exchange”Creative Echoes: Balancing Art & Well-being in European Youth”

In addition to the challenges faced by young aspiring artists in Europe, concerns about mental health issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression have greatly increased, and the pandemic has exacerbated these challenges by bringing additional pressures and unique challenges. Unfortunately, this has caused them to lose confidence in pursuing their artistic dreams.

 

Considering this situation, it is important to promote self-confidence, appreciate innate talent, and emphasise the importance of mental well-being outside of an artistic career. As Europe continues its developmental journey, we must ensure that the passions and abilities of these young aspiring artists are not overshadowed by their health challenges.

 

To that end, we have developed a program aimed at equipping these young artists with the skills they need for the future while meeting their current needs through activities and workshops designed to help them manage stress, prioritise their mental health, express their artistic creativity, and discover new interests. Another component of this program is the opportunity for these participants to travel and interact with peers from different parts of Europe. They receive valuable resources to help them participate in the community, improve their skills, and expand their network of peers and mentors.

 

The goal of this effort is to provide our aspiring young artists/participants with the skills and confidence they need to make a positive contribution to the cultural and social fabric of their communities. By using the transformative power of art as a tool for personal growth.

 

 

Workshop Overview:

 

A collaborative journey where art and wellness work together in harmony. Our youth exchange is designed with specific goals using Non Formal Education in mind:

  • Focused creativity: workshops and activities designed to expose participants to different types and ways of creating in the arts. The goal is not only to reach audiences, but also to make a positive contribution to their overall well-being.

 

  • Co-Creation: interactive workshops that highlight the power of co-creation. These activities allow participants to work together, unlock the unlimited potential of collaborative art projects, and enhance their peer-to-peer connections.

 

 

Goals:

 

  • Promoting mental health: tackling and reducing the increasing prevalence of mental health problems, particularly stress, anxiety and depression, among young artists in Europe.
  • Restoring confidence: To rebuild and nurture young artists, especially those affected by the challenges of the pandemic, so that they can pursue their artistic dreams.
  • Fostering self- confidence and self-awareness: Creating an environment that fosters self-confidence and reinforces the value of each individual’s unique artistic voice, while promoting self-awareness and encouraging a less competitive mindset.
  • Appreciation for talent and individual strengths: Provide appreciation for each artist’s innate talents and ensure that they recognise their intrinsic value and personal strengths and reduce competitive mindset.
  • Skills development and inclusion: Ensure an inclusive, interdisciplinary approach to mental health policy, especially for marginalised groups, and provide young professionals with the necessary skills.
  • Networking: provide networking opportunities for young aspiring artists.
  • Community integration: Provide ways for artists to engage in their communities and ensure access to inclusive and respectful spaces.
  • Use of the arts for development and prevention: use the arts for personal development, self-awareness and prevention to provide young artists with knowledge and skills for positive mental wellbeing.
  • Collaborative creativity and reducing stigma: Encourage collaborative art projects and organise awareness raising events to combat the stigma associated with mental health through their art.
