Between January and March, a series of local workshops were implemented with the young people from the My Creativity My Power project.

The various workshops took place at the Teatro Atlante in Palermo and were the first phase of a bigger journey that will see these young people travel to 3 different European countries and experience artistic-creative disciplines together with other young people from Slovenia, Austria, and Poland, ending in a grand final performance at the European Parliament.

For these 52 young Europeans, the final performance will be a way to bring to the European Parliament, their political and social demands, to make their voices heard and try to bring positive changes for the future of everyone.

Now the youth of My Creativity My Power are preparing for the second phase of this journey, the first international workshop to be held on April 4-8 in Vienna, Austria.

During this workshop the 52 young people will get to know each other, experiment with different artistic disciplines, and begin work on the final performance.

Don’t miss updates on this journey and the work of these amazing young people who are creative, active and so eager to participate and bring about positive change.

About the project

My Creativity My Power project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme under the Key Action 2 – Partnership for Creativity and aims to empower young people to voice their political demands as active European citizens through the use of creative and artistic means.

My Elections My EU: migration and climate change in the european Parliament

My Elections – My EU! involved about 25 young people in international workshops on migration and climate change, culminating in an artistic-political performance at the European Parliament. The journey enabled them to gain knowledge and develop expressive skills, with the aim of promoting civic engagement and dialogue with members of the European Parliament, and will be documented in a digital toolkit to replicate the experience.
