WHY "ARTIFY THE FRAMES"?

The main aim of the youth exchange ''Artify the frames'' is to redefinate the concept of freedom, and to overcome personal and social limits through art. Various workshops, activities and creating art itself will bring us to the main goals of the project, which are to raise up and discuss questions about freedom and limits of freedom, to strengthen European citizenship and identity; to increase active participation of youngsters in society; to promote equality and inclusion of people with fewer opportunities; to foster understanding of intercultural context among participants and to promote creativity of young people. Because of the NGO's unique location (near Schengen border), we will also criticaly discuss and connect the project with the refugee crisis.
