Making Art with Youth

The seminar focuses in youth work with cultural methods. With examples by youth work, cultural institution and production experts the seminar is open to discussion and comparison. The seminar will focus also in up-to-date research.

The seminar will present easily accessible cultural activities with an emphasis on youth work. The participants are asked to reflect their own experiences and expectations in the field: how does culture and art activate young people and make them stronger and more self-confident? The seminar includes a visit to the Helsinki city youth department, presentations of projects in various cultural genres and research-based data explaining the benefits of cultural work with young people. One of the main tasks is also the networking between participants for further cooperation and Erasmus+ YiA projects. Youth workers and other motivated participants will get a good practice package to take back home.
