OASES for Change –
Organising Artistic Self-Empowerment Spaces
1. june 2021 – 31. may 2023
The OASES Project brings together Organizations from 10 countries to work together on answering the question: How can youth exchange be designed to empower participants in developing their creative potential; to create artworks in transnational collaboration around themes of shared meaning; and to trigger change in their local environments and in a globalized world.

The OASES Project brings together 5 member organizations of the international ROOTS & ROUTES network and 5 new partner organizations. Together they bring a wide range of different experience in creating international youth events, artistic residencies and workshops.
In the first phase of the OASES project, we will focus on gathering experience and good practice towards the goal formulated in the project title: How to best organize artistic self-empowerment spaces for young people?
We will work to create frameworks in which artistic practices, exchanges between individuals, and self- and mutual empowerment can flourish.
In the second phase of the OASES project, we will conduct pilot projects in at least six countries from the consortium: International Youth Exchanges with four or more partner countries and an artistic/thematic focus.
In the final phase of the project, we will share the results of the pilot projects and work together on outcomes that will help both consortium members and external organizations interested in arts-based (international) youth work to deliver quality work in the future. In the process, quality criteria, guidelines, and tools for international youth work will emerge.
“OASES for Change” is coordinated by RRCGN; partner organizations are Blues Derneği (Istanbul/Turkey), Centro di Creazione e Cultura (Florence/Italy), Empreinte (Lille/France), Royal Court Liverpool (United Kingdom), Stichting Lloydscompany (Rotterdam/Netherlands), Street Dance Center (Salzburg/Austria), SMouTh – Synergy of Music Theatre (Larissa/Greece) and Subjective Values Foundation (Budapest/Hungary).
