Teaching Artivism
Within Work package n°1 - Project Management
we will organise project activities to monitor management and smooth implementation of all the activities. Therefore there will be hosted:
- The Kick-off meeting tool place in Ancona at the Communia headquarters, kicked off the activities and was the perfect opportunity to get to know the partners better and define together the activities and deadlines of the implementation activities.
- The 2nd TPM will be held at the headquarters of YSC, Poland. The objective of this meeting will be to discuss the results obtained in WP2 and to define precisely the responsibilities, activities and deadlines necessary for the implementation of WP3 and WP4.
- Finally, the 3rd TPM will be held in the Netherlands, at the headquarters of Art 1. The objective of this meeting will be to define the closing activities of the project and analyze together what has been achieved.
Within Work package n°2 - Turn quickly into action!
we aim to increase community empowerment among LGBTQIA+ members and activists. Community empowerment reflects the orientation of an individual who desires and feels empowered to change his or her role and social context.
The specific objectives aimed to attain this general goal are the following:
- – to increase self-efficacy perception of advocacy skills
- – to provide training on how to do videomaking, thus, to provide videomaking skills
- – to facilitate project proposals in form of roadmaps resulting from the two activities of community visioning
- – to create communicative channels between LGBTQIA+ members and activists and both the third sector and policymakers towards practices and polices based on a bottom-up logic.
There will be hosted 2 experiential trainings of Community visioning technique.
Within Work package n°3 - Learning by doing
we aim to raise social support towards the LGBTIQIA+ community by providing the learning and implementation of an innovative method of learning, the Advocacy-based Service Learning Program (ASLP), that combines community service with classroom study and reflection.
The expected results of this work package are:
- The outcome is the increased active participation of high school students in initiatives of LGBTQIA+ social inclusion and of volunteering experiences.
- an online training course on the advocacy-based service-learning programme (ASLP) to 2 stakeholders organizations/social enterprises per each partner;
- recorded online learning sessions of the training course on the advocacy-based service-learning programme (ASLP);
- social enterprises or third sector organizations (stakeholders who received the preceding online training course) implementing the ASLP in high schools;
- a report translated into all partners’ languages illustrating the results of the activity.
Within Work package n°4 - Teaching Artivism
we aim to strengthen the confidence to express LGBTQIA+ social identity.
The specific objectives aimed to attain this general goal are the following:
- to increase awareness of LGBTQIA+ identity spectrum and around discrimination, inequalities, and human and citizenship rights
- to foster the capacity building in youth workers of the cultural and creative sector through artivism
- to stimulate creativity, curiosity and self-expression.
The first outcome is an increased awareness of LGBTQIA+ identity spectrum and around discrimination, inequalities, and human and citizenship rights.
The two outputs are the following:
- an online Training Course on Artivism for youth workers of the cultural and creative sector
The first result will be the actual course on Artivism topics, which will include the contents, the structure and the number of hours of the course. The course will cover topics such as (i) Capacity building activities: Non-formal methodology training, (ii) Training in ‘Storytelling for Minorities’, (iii) Training in ‘Introduction to Artivism’ and (iv) a ‘Do-it-yourself Lab’ where participants becoming ‘artivists’ are invited to make artivistic products
- the setting up of an online gallery where everyone can see all the products with the caption translated into all the languages of the partners. The online gallery will take place on this platform https://artivistsforchange.com/
