Deadline: 5 May 2024
If you like making art or music, you want to share your knowledge with others and are eager to learn from them, too, then apply for the The Looking Glass III to develop skills which contribute to social sustainability through making knowledge-sharing possible on the peer-to-peer level.
‘The Looking Glass III’ is a youth exchange organized by Drustvo Lojtra at Brežice Youth Center in Slovenia in July 2024. Participants aged from 18 to 30 years old will come from 6 different countries from within the European Union. They are particularly inviting young people with an interest in art or music who like to share knowledge with others. Teams will be made up of 4 or 5 young people with one team leader.
They will be learning how to lead workshops, especially on creative themes. The exchange will take place from the 1st to the 10th of July, 2024 at Brežice Youth Center in Slovenia.
In this exchange, they will use a combination of informational workshops from their team, example workshops from artistic professionals and first-hand learning experiences to reach the learning goals – as a participant you’ll get to try out leading a workshop in a safe space with learning support from the team and structured feedback from your peers.
What will you learn?
- The learning objectives are what guide the content and direction of the exchange. As a participant, you will be expected to make a genuine effort to engage with the content and work towards these goals.
- how to structure a workshop
- some techniques for public speaking and facilitating
- some new artistic methods
- about your peers in the group and where they come from
- There are also other objectives in the exchange – social objectives, which are just as important.
- to meet new people and make new connections
- to try new things
- to support your peers in their learning, as they support you
- to have fun while having a meaningful experience
Who can apply?
- Youngsters (18-30 years old) who:
- are interested in making music or art and eager to actively participate. (If you are already experienced, skilled musicians or artists, that’s great, but prior experience is not required.)
- Speak some basic English. (It will help you to follow the program. If needed you can be supported by another participant of your national team.)
- Are residing in Germany.
- They encourage the participation of participants with fewer opportunities. (Participants with fewer opportunities will be prioritized.)
