Building and Linking Roots

This project was initiated in response to the devastating crisis in the cultural sector during the Covid-19 pandemic, which highlighted the urgent need to adapt and sustain cultural activities und...

The "Roots" project aimed to establish a new way of consuming culture and art, particularly through the digitization of cultural workshops, to ensure that they can continue regardless of external circumstances. The goal was to provide young people with tools to explore and connect with different cultures and understand how cultural and social differences can enrich us rather than divide us. By introducing a digital dimension to art and nonformal education, the goal was to make art more accessible to young people from different countries, promoting a more inclusive and tolerant attitude. It also aimed to develop young people's creative skills and establish intercultural connections, creating a network of young Europeans committed to solidarity and interculturalism and promoting an active attitude toward project implementation and respect for all cultures.

In the "Roots" project, we implemented key activities to achieve our objectives. We developed an online methodological guide to facilitate cultural interaction between young people from different countries, ensuring alignment with our objectives. We organised cultural workshops in various disciplines such as poetry, theatre, dance and music, designed to be practical and playful. In addition, we launched an online platform that allowed young people and educators to access and interact with cultural content in a dynamic way, thus enhancing intercultural learning.

The "Roots" project achieved important results. We developed a methodological guide and conducted cultural workshops that allowed young people to delve deeper into the cultural roots of different countries, using music, dance and poetry to foster creativity and intercultural dialogue. We implemented an online platform that modernised access to culture, facilitating the active participation of young people in the creation and evaluation of content. Through these activities, participants improved their artistic and technical skills, language skills, project management and social networking competences. We established a network of young Europeans committed to interculturalism, enriching the associative movement and promoting respect for all cultures.
