❗️What Is This Training About?
Across Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Ireland, we reached out to the artists and community members who make art scenes come to life, diving deep into their experiences of belonging and community, identity and visibility, harassment and safety.
✅ Who can apply for Erasmus+ and ESC? Eligibility depends on activity: ages 13–30 for most Erasmus+ youth activities and 18–30 for ESC volunteering (up to 35 for humanitarian aid), plus country and residence rules. This guide covers roles, inclusion support, language needs and the profile coordinators look for. 👉 https://youthworkshub.org/whocanapply
ℹ️ Description About The Opportunity
What does it take to be both seen and safe in Europe's nightlife, music and cultural scenes?
Across Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Ireland, we reached out to the artists and community members who make these scenes come to life, diving deep into their experiences of belonging and community, identity and visibility, harassment and safety.
This 90-minute online workshop shares what we found, but not in the way you'd expect. Rather than going through slides and statistics, we’ll step into the research itself through playful improv and an open conversation with the researcher behind our study.
Safety remains one of the biggest challenges in urban entertainment and it's something we have to keep building together, especially for women and LGBTI+ people. Join us to explore how we can make these scenes feel safer and more inclusive for all.
After online registration through the link, we will send you the link to participate in zoom. Apply here: https://forms.gle/UHpStTbrrPmYPAS88
