Description
This Erasmus+ project (KA2 partnership) explores the climate crisis with youth via the arts. We gather practitioners working with youth in arts, education, and activism to learn from each other as an international community of practice and upskill young people in local youth-led projects by reflecting upon the current state and future of Earth through art-making.The main project goals are:
(1) improving youth’s agency in the face of the climate crisis via youth-led arts-based advocacy (graphic storytelling, theatre, music, digital games, …)
(2) advancing non-formal climate education by interweaving the expertise from arts, education, and activism.
The project’s key deliverables are:
1. Arts-based advocacy output from 5 local projects
2. Toolbox to work on climate via participatory, playful, and arts-based methods
3. An impact study on how the methods, learning approaches, and advocacy work contribute to making climate change meaningful and support a sense of agency.
