Sending out projects
ROOTS & ROUTES is an international network; RRCGN sends groups of young artists to projects of our network partners several times a year.

The ROOTS & ROUTES Peer Coach Academy
Since 2008, partner organizations in the international ROOTS & ROUTES network have jointly developed a concept and curriculum for a cultural peer coach training; for young artists from performing arts and media who would like to pass on their competencies to peers and younger people as peer coaches.
iJuLa – intersectional YouthLabs in Cologne
The iJuLa project opens spaces in Cologne, in which artistic work on intersectional and queer topics can take place. We invite young artists to create these spaces with us and fill them with life and ideas.
Baltrum 2019 – Future Lab Young Europe
38 young adults from 6 countries met for 2 weeks on Baltrum and developed visions of the future in small, internationally mixed working groups, projecting the risks and opportunities of current developments into the future.
Kontaktlinse – Cologne is full of art!
The Instagram platform “Kontaktlinse” (German for “contact lense”) offers a space for artists from Cologne to present themselves and their art. Regardless of the art form, genre or professional standards, people with a creative passion are portrayed here.
The ROOTS & ROUTES Experience 2019
For a two-week period, 40 young artists from different countries further developed the working methods that were developed during the previous project in 2017. Coached by professional artists, an interdisciplinary stage performance was created.
Street to Stage
Young people from urban dance scenes are confronted with big questions: how can artistic career aspirations be realised, how can their own talents and abilities be further developed? The dancers, choreographers and dance instructors Daniela Rodriguez Romero and Bahar Gökten from nutrospektif bring in their own experiences to accompany the participants within these exciting fields.
Generation Europe – Arts and Social Responsibility
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.
