🟪 FROM THE BIN TO THE GALLERY – Toolkit

In the midst of the actual worldwide crisis, where art supplies tend to be rather expensive, artistic upcycling provides a viable alternative to reduce the costs of artistic workshops. During this project youths will discover the range of materials or objects with the possibility of up cycling. Learn through hands on experimentation the different possibilities of the objects to be up cycled, discover how recyclable-up cyclable materials are handled in the 5 participating countries leading the discussion to create consciousness on the importance of recycling-up cycling for the environment, foment and encourage a “take what you need” conscience. Using role playing games to gain insight on guiding teens through the creative process, thru a workshop for the youngsters of the venue, under the supervision of the project facilitators , the participants will guide the teens in an artistic up cycling experience, applying the skills and knowledge learned throughout the program. Gain reassurance and confidence on their capabilities, given by the completion of a learning—> applying—> sharing knowhow cycle. The results of the experiences of both youth and teens will be mounted on a exhibition hosted locally.
