Description
"<< Background >>We wanted to strengthen the capacities of partner organizations (PO) to work with youth in the fields of culture, art, art therapy, environmental protection, and sustainable development and contribute to the quality and innovation of youth work in PO. POs needed to network and get to know active youth work stakeholders, knowledge of art therapy, sustainable and recycled art to be able to introduce new practices in youth work, and knowledge of the way of working and opportunities for youth in the cultural and creative industry, and the need to strengthen the capacity to work with youth in the field of visual art and sustainability, using an interdisciplinary approach and continuous work with youth on the topics of environmental protection and sustainable development. By implementing the project, we responded to the needs of youth by providing more opportunities for youth with fewer opportunities (FO) in the field of visual art, nature protection, and sustainability, so that youth with FO would be more active and engaged in nature protection. Through the exchange of knowledge, experience, and good practices, POs ensured new and improved practices of working with youth and integrating new methods into their daily work.<< Objectives >>Main: Strengthen the capacities of partner organizations to work with young people in the fields of culture, art, sustainable development, and nature protection using an interdisciplinary approach, art therapy, and non-formal education methods. Specific: to increase the sense of initiative of youth with fewer opportunities by giving them the opportunity and supporting them to implement their ideas into works of art and for good causes through the exchange of knowledge and skills in the fields of visual arts, nature protection, and sustainability; to provide equal opportunities for youth with fewer opportunities to participate in the socio-cultural life of the community and increase social inclusion through continuous art workshops; to contribute to the development of youth work in rural areas, quality, and innovation, by strengthening the capacity of partner organizations in the fields of art therapy, visual art, sustainability, and nature protection. By exchanging knowledge, experience, and good practices in youth work on the topics of environmental protection and sustainable development using visual art as a tool and art therapy, the partners wanted to strengthen capacities to increase their quality and innovation in youth work.<< Implementation >>1. Kick-off conference to inform the target group about the start of implementation, context, activities, and networking of relevant stakeholders in the field of youth work; 2. Job shadowing to enable partner organizations to exchange knowledge and experience in the preparation and implementation of artistic and cultural activities, to transfer good practice in the organization of activities with and for young people (artists), and to ensure the introduction of new good practices in the work of partner organizations; 3. Art therapy education to develop the competencies of the staff of partner organizations and develop new innovative methods for youth work through the provision of basic knowledge about art therapy and practical work; 4. Local activities that provided youth with fewer opportunities equal opportunities to participate in the socio-cultural life of the community and social inclusion, and practical work for people who were shadowing the work of partner organizations and education about art therapy to use and practice newly acquired skills and knowledge. 5. A toolbox to raise the quality and innovation in work with young people. 6. Final conference to inform and test the tools and methods from the toolbox.<< Results >>The Kick-off conference was held in Zadar and Camara de Lobos, attended by a total of 29 people.4 people participated in the job shadowing in Zadar and Camara de Lobos (partner organizations) and developed knowledge and skills.Held education about art therapy in Veli Iž, where 10 people participated and increased knowledge about art therapy, work methods, basic principles, art therapy theoretical models, different types of creative techniques in art therapy.A total of 31 art workshops were held in Zadar, Gračac and Camara de Lobos, in which 64 young people with fewer opportunities participated.10 recycled artworks developed.2 street art exhibitions were held in Zadar and Camara de Lobos.Developed Toolbox: A Creative Learning Environment for Environmental Protection.The final conference was held in Zadar, Veli Iž, and Camara de Lobos, attended by 36 people.Tested tools from the ""Toolbox""The general public was sensitized about the importance of nature conservation and encouraged to recycle.Increased staff knowledge and capacities of partner organizations in the field of art therapy and the organization and implementation of art activities with and for young people on topics related to nature protection and sustainability."
