About UrbanArtVentures
and fosters a multifaceted solution process.
The participants will work daily in groups from 21 to 27 September in order to create urban art and do street performances on a topic that they select altogether promoting common values. The final product of the project is a presentation of the urban artists and performers' work in the frame of a-one-day urban festival organised by Jugend- & Kulturprojekt e.V. in cooperation with Greek urban and visual arts organisations. During the festival there will be open workshops to local people (stencil, graffiti, 3D street art, street installations, art intervention) so that social interaction, intercultural exchange and dialogue get fostered.
The project wishes to change the perception of many people about street art, who sometimes confuse it with vandalism and therefore to show through the open workshops and the urban art work of the participants that street art can transform urban spaces into creative hubs and open air galleries. This should function as a bridge between the policymakers and the locals of the city and enhance the dialogue about the potential of urban art which can add to the artistic appeal of Thessaloniki and convey social messages.
An important objective of this project is to give the chance to local urban artists to convey the social messages of their urban artworks to the public and bring in their ideas as well as share their beliefs and concerns.
Through non-formal learning methods, the participants will exchange best practices and their ideas regarding the use of urban art as a tool for social inclusion and social dialogue. They will gain knowledge about the different aspects of urban development and active participation in the society and will acquire methods and tools to incorporate street art in youth and social work by working with people from different disciplines. The participants will discover innovative and alternative methods and ideas to utilise and implement in their work with the youth at local, national and international level, as well as improve their
personal acquisition of competences.
