PROJECT CONTENT

“Creativity Link Up” is an enriching 12-day program taking place from October 6th to October 17th, 2023, in the beautiful locale of Antalya, Turkey. This initiative aims to gather 50 young individuals from various parts of Europe to engage in a transformative experience centered around personal growth, mental health, music, dance, art, and cinema. It is designed not only to be a meeting ground for like-minded creatives but also a space where each participant contributes their unique talents, fostering a culture of diversity and collaboration.

OBJECTIVES

  • Fostering Personal Growth and Mental Health: To provide a supportive environment where participants can explore and work on personal development and mental health through creative expression.
  • Promoting Cultural Exchange and Diversity: To celebrate the richness of cultural diversity among participants from different European countries, encouraging the exchange of ideas, perspectives, and artistic practices.
  • Encouraging Collaboration and Co-Creation: To create opportunities for participants to collaborate on various creative projects, allowing them to learn from each other and co-create works that reflect their collective talents and insights.
  • Skill Development and Expression: To offer workshops and activities in music, dance, art, and cinema that enable participants to either polish their existing skills or dive into new forms of creative expression.
  • Building a Creative Community: To establish a network of young creatives across Europe who, beyond the duration of the program, will continue to inspire, collaborate, and support each other’s artistic endeavors.
  • Enhancing Understanding and Empathy: Through shared creative activities and interactions, the program aims to deepen participants’ understanding and empathy towards different life experiences and worldviews.

PARTICIPANTS

50 young people from across Europe.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

The Costs for accommodation and food is covered!
Regarding the travel cost please contact us. The travel expenses will be paid according to Erasmus+ rules in advance by the participants. We will reimburse the costs by bank transfer after the delivery of the supporting documentation. All expenses are only covered up to the limits of Erasmus+.
Transfer from Antalya to the Venue and back will be organised by us.

Participants applying for this project should be:

– Open to challenge themselves for learning in the intense programme of the training
– Ready to organize at least one follow-up activity using the experience from this exchange (individually or together with another person from the same country) within 3 months after the program.

We especially invite people affected by any forms of discrimination such as ableism, racism, classism and sexism. The people coming together from five different countries all have different backgrounds and socialization which is why we can’t promise a safe space. But we would like to communicate about these important topics collectively and respectfully, meeting each other where everyone is at. We should all feel responsible to sensitize each other and create a safer space for everybody. Since this program line from Erasmus+ has no opportunities to pay educators.
