<< Objectives >>The project of Art Tribe aims at supporting development of creative and inclusive communities self-managed by young people. By providing them the short-term experience of living in a space like that during the youth exchange, we want to demonstrate how creativity shared in a non-judgemental inclusive community with the same interest can be a nourishing aspect of everyday life, making young people happier and more satisfied as an important part of their journey of self-development and self-awareness. This experience should have a long-term impact on youngsters´ sense of initiative to be able to create similar spaces back home for their peers within the local communities, which will benefit not just the individuals but bring opportunities also for the partnering youth organizations. To support this whole process, we will create a long-lasting online art community whose members share and support each other in being creative not just during the project period and main activity but also afterwards. Thus the objectives of this project are: - create a short-term experience of living in an inclusive non-judgemental community where youngsters can share their art interests and learn from each other- empower young people with competences for building of art communities by creating one themselves- raise awareness of youngsters about art and creative activities being an important and nourishing part of their lives - support intercultural learning exchange of youngsters (both non-marginalised and with fewer opportunities) by giving them a chance to participate in the Erasmus+ project and share their passions and culture with their peers from other European countries- create an online art community which outlives the project itself and serves as a connection point between participants and partner organizations for sharing project results and good practices.<< Implementation >>We plan to implement one main activity - Art Tribe Youth Exchange. It will take place in Northern Hungary, in a small village of Baskó. All together 25 youngsters and 5 team leaders from 5 countries (Hungary, Czech Republic, Latvia, Portugal and Spain) will meet in the venue of Baskói Tábor from 12th to 19th of August 2023. The participants invited to the youth exchange are in the age of 18 to 30 years old (18+ for group leaders) and they have diverse art interests and different levels of art skills to ensure the learning exchange among them. The participant selection process aims at inclusivity and equality, therefore each participant group will involve a minimum of 2 participants per group with fewer opportunities (mostly social, economic and geographical barriers). The youth exchange programme working methods are based on principles of nonformal education and they reflect the needs of the participants and partner organizations, project objectives and planned learning outcomes. The suggested programme follows four main art forms (music, dance, body expression/theater and visual arts) and consists of different art activities and creative methods to provide safe inclusive learning space for the youngsters, where they support and learn from each other, where they get supported to deliver the activities themselves and where reflection of learning process plays a crucial role. Taking into account the diversity of the participants´ background, the methods will present a flexible tool for all participants to fulfill their expectations through an intercultural learning experience in a safe community, which we will create together. An interactive street art performance is planned as the final event of this youth exchange. Based on what they learnt from each other during the programme, participants will decide and prepare together a special performance, which they will perform in public in the streets of Baskó and to which local citizens and youth will be invited. The whole performance process (preparation, execution and reflection) will be led by participants and documented and published as a main activity product and dissemination material.<< Results >>The participants will get to be a part of an art community building process - they will be provided with a space, tools and skills to create a community, where they will support each other on the learning and self-development journey. During the whole project period, participants will learn new skills from each other which can motivate them and inspire them - on this journey, they will get to experience various art tools and methods designed to help them reflect on their needs and establish better contact with themselves and the environment they live in. Being able to express and specify their needs properly will guide them naturally to become more self-aware and confident and also to acknowledge their own value which could have a positive impact on their self-esteem. It is expected that after getting more self-aware and confident and experiencing the community building process and the project management in general, they will want to get more active and involved in their local communities and organizations and they will not be afraid to initiate, plan or conduct different activities and projects for their peers back home. Last but not least, the project will enhance their intercultural awareness which will be based on the experience of Erasmus+ youth exchange - meeting peers from different EU countries and social backgrounds and spending a week with them, living together and supporting each other.The partner organizations will benefit from receiving new active volunteers, who will gain new competences and bring new methods to use on the local level in their youthwork, having the potential to become future youth leaders and also to develop their own Erasmus+ projects. The follow-up activities, which the youngsters will be supported to organize, will have a direct impact not just on the invited participants (families, peers, other youth organizations and wider public), but also on the partner organizations - main benefit is foreseen to be attracting new active members and supporting the visibility of not just the organization itself, but also of the project and Erasmus+ programme and funding.Big part of this capacity building process will be one of the main results of the project - the online art community platform. While ensuring a long-lasting impact of the project, not just the youngsters but also the partner organizations will use the platform to benefit from sharing of project results and good practices both during the project period and after. It will provide a space also for project reflection and evaluation, experience exchange and support of all involved stakeholders in building local art communities.
