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.

Young Arts for Queer Rights and Visibility (#YAfQRaV)

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.
