POIESIS aims to promote the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities and to improve their mental and emotional well-being. This will be achieved through the development of a methodology based on Expressive Arts, the training of our facilitators, the implementation of local workshops, and a set of replication tools so that other organizations, young people, and cultural workers can use this proven methodology to reach marginalized communities.
Date
From September 1, 2024, to June 30, 2026.
Partners
Expressive Arts aim to connect participants with their creative capacities and help them respond creatively to both external and internal challenges. Through the creation of this new reality, participants will be better able to integrate into their communities and improve their well-being. The co-creation of the methodology will strengthen organizational capacity, and through the Replication Toolkit, other actors will be able to learn from these proven participatory methods and practices to reach marginalized communities.
