Art for сhange. Create, inspire, transform.

ARTIVISM (a combination of art and activism) is an impactful tool for fostering civic engagement, environmental responsibility, and active participation among young people with fewer opportunities, particularly in conflict, post-conflict, and marginalised contexts.

What makes the public space our space?

​

Through different forms of participatory art and artistic interventions, from improvised concerts to theatre performances, from street art to guerrilla gardening, Zuhause reinvents the public space as a space

for embracing community.

Drawing on the wealth of resources developed through TEC (Training and Evaluation Cycle) trainers over two decades, this project will develop an online platform and printable resource to make valuable tools available to other professional groups who work with people on the move.

Open the door for groups who would not usually have access to the forest and its healing properties.

Using the Accessible Forest Methodology in building a closer relationship with nature we will expand the competencies of adult education professionals working with people with fewer opportunities in the outdoor natural ecosystem, strengthening their pro-ecological attitude and sense of well-being among project beneficiaries.

Experts from the fields of forest bathing, education and accessibility join forces to create an Educational E-book and Edu -Library Online.

“Creating with our hands, in a circle of trust and openness, is a therapy for the heart”.

 
In those moments a community forges a sense of belonging, a collective memory in which everybody who participate to the
process can identify with.
Reclaiming and spreading traditional craft and storytelling is a form to explore common roots, recognising common patterns, techniques and habits that cross borders and cultural frontiers.

Planting Stories is for people who currently cannot get outside to enjoy Nature and its healing benefits.

In depth Cross-pollination and target group research workshops will result in a series of "Zines" or pamphlets designed using self-directed learning techniques to facilitate a reflective, healing experience.

A playful environment allows us to forget the struggles and learn naturally; by involving the body and engaging in the activities at
different levels, learning is smooth and memorising comes quickly. In every round of this project, we see this confirmed: the power of creativity and playfulness enhanced learning, growth, and solidarity.
