Through BRIDGES, we aim to respond to the imminent need to come together in the pursuit of creative initiatives to address various current conflicts. Stemming from this necessity, through this project, we aim to foster youth engagement and participation in actively building a more sustainable and respectful future.  

We seek to build bridges among young European artists, providing spaces for exchange and learning in a multicultural, diverse, inclusive, and motivating context that allows young people to enrich their perspectives, competencies, and personal strategies, fostering their commitment and active participation as citizens, inspiring them to be a positive influence in their environment.  

We aim to make a real connection between youth, art, and action. We believe that art is a powerful tool for bringing people together in a common cause and carries great potential for conveying, disseminating, and transforming. Therefore, through BRIDGES, we aim to investigate and explore together the critical point between artistic practice and its potential as a tool for transformation and social participation.  

We aim to connect youth with youth organizations from various backgrounds and realities, generating an international network of change agents committed and active in the joint construction of a more inclusive, respectful, and sustainable future.  

In order to address these concerns and motivations, the objectives of this project are:  

- To encourage connection with their peers, generate a network of active agents, promoting intercultural dialogue, valuing and accepting diversity by promoting gender equality and tolerance towards cultural differences, thus fostering the feeling of being European and its values.

- To promote personal growth and continuous learning among youth, developing their capacities and attitudes. Improve  communication skills, expression, critical thinking through non-formal learning, connect, debate, and find consensus among  peers.  

- To raise awareness and sensitize about current global issues, incentivize active social participation in democratic life, and  commitment to the ecological and social problems we are facing.
