How does solidarity look among young people today?<\/b><\/p>\n

What do we do with the prejudices that shape our relationships?<\/b><\/p>\n

And how can art become a tool for dialogue and understanding of cultural identities?<\/b><\/p>\n

Echoes of Solidarity \u2013 Art for Intercultural Dialogue<\/b> is a creative and mentoring programme implemented within the UNESCO Youth for Peace Programme. It is designed for young people who wish to explore themes of identity, diversity, belonging and solidarity through art, writing, visual expression and collective creative work.<\/span><\/p>\n

The programme brings together a <\/span>diverse group of young people<\/b> \u2013 local youth, Roma youth, as well as international students living in Ni\u0161 \u2013 with the aim of learning, creating and building dialogue through an artistic process.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfa8<\/b> How do we work? (methods and approach)<\/b><\/p>\n

Within the programme, participants will be able to choose among different creative approaches, including <\/span>poetry<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>short prose<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>other forms of creative writing<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>storytelling through photography<\/span><\/i>, as well as <\/span>drawing and painting<\/span><\/i>. These approaches serve as starting points, not fixed categories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants are encouraged to experiment, mix media and combine text, images and visual expression in line with their personal interests and the development of their ideas. The process is open and flexible, with a focus on exploration, dialogue and collective learning, rather than on a predefined format or a perfect final outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n
