The seminar on “International Network Development and Regeneration in Artistic Youthwork” (INDaRAY24) took place from February 26 to March 1, 2024 in Salzburg, Austria.
In the OASES project, partners from 10 countries are working together on the question: How can youth encounters be designed to empower participants to unleash their creative potential; to create artworks in transnational collaboration around themes of shared meaning; and to effect change in their local environments and in a globalized world?
As a full member of the international ROOTS & ROUTES network, RRCGN regularly participates in transnational projects multiple times a year, that serve to further develop the network and its methods and approaches, as well as international youth work with artistic approaches more generally.
From June 29th to July 16th, 30 young artists from Cologne (Germany), Florence (Italy) and Larissa (Greece) jointly worked on the themes of “proximity and distance” – “communication and isolation” – “physical and virtual encounter”. But not at the same place – because of COVID-19, this was the first RRCGN international youth exchange where the participating groups stayed in their respective countries and worked together via online communication.
This two-year transnational project, together with 7 partner organisations from Europe, combines artistic methods and language learning.
The project brought together 7 partner organisations from the international ROOTS & ROUTES network over a period of 14 months to create fertile environments for non-formal adult education. Methods were collected to raise awareness and counter prejudices and stereotypes through artistic activities.
The project provided a framework that encouraged young artists with different sexual orientations and gender self-definitions to reach out to other young people with strong messages for queer equality, inclusiveness and non-discrimination. Young people were supported in analyzing discriminatory actions and language, and in countering them with artistic means, advocating for queer rights, visibility and recognition.
“Mind Ur Step” brings together eleven professional urban dance artists in an international dance production. The project aims to bring together the urban dance scene and established theatres.
