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.

In the final e‑Book of our project, you are going to find the method­olog­i­cal sheets of the work­shops:
