FECE is looking for 5 young participants to join the youth exchange Activism in Action, which will take place in Kryoneri, Corinthia, Greece from 2 June to 8 June 2025 (with travel days included).
In today’s world, social issues such as climate change, human rights, and inequality are becoming increasingly urgent, yet misinformation, stereotypes, and cultural differences often hinder meaningful discussions. At the same time, intercultural dialogue is essential for promoting understanding, inclusion, and collective action. The “Activism in Action” youth exchange brings these two critical areas together, creating a space where young people can explore the power of art in addressing social challenges while fostering intercultural learning and collaboration for social justice.
This exchange will bring together 25 young participants from diverse cultural backgrounds, encouraging impactful conversations on social issues such as climate change, human rights, and equality, while exploring how art can be used as a tool for activism. Through non-formal education
methods, participants will engage in interactive workshops, creative activities, collaborative art projects, and group discussions to develop skills in using art for social change, advocacy, and raising awareness on pressing global challenges.
Objectives of the project:
- Raise awareness among young people about the power of art as a tool for activism and social change.
- Create a platform for young people from diverse cultural backgrounds to exchange their experiences, ideas, and art practices, fostering international cooperation in activism.
- Strengthen the participants’ ability to advocate for social change by empowering them with the tools to create their own activist projects.
- Establish a supportive network of young activists, mentors, and organizations that can collaborate on the future initiatives.
Accommodation, food and travel costs will be covered by the organisers.
Participants’ profile: Young people (18-30 years old) interested in art, activism and cultural exchange and one leader 18+.
