Local Activities II
During the Training Course held in Malaga, participants were provided with the necessary tools and knowledge to design the workshops they had to implement in the framework of Local Activities II, together with a visibility activity. During the Training they created three workshops, but just two of them have to be put into practice in each project country. Some adaptations according to each context are acceptable.
The main objectives of Local Activities II are:
‑To put the acquired knowledge and competences of participants into practice;
‑To share and multiply the knowledge with other urban artists, youth workers, educators, migrants and young people;
‑To raise the awareness of local population on migrant inclusion and the use of urban art as a socio-educational tool;
‑To give visibility to the project “Urban Art for Inclusion” and the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union among local population.
