🌍 Project Overview
Inclusive Societies: An Experiential Art Lab is an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange taking place in Barcelona, Spain, bringing together young people from Italy 🇮🇹, Spain 🇪🇸, Portugal 🇵🇹, Romania 🇷🇴 and Germany 🇩🇪.
This exchange invites participants to explore the idea of inclusive societies through experiential, art-based learning, using video, performance, and visual art as tools to reflect on identity, diversity, belonging, and social inclusion.
Art is used as a shared language to surface hidden stories, emotions, and perspectives, helping participants question stereotypes, strengthen empathy, and imagine new ways of living together in a diverse Europe.

🤝 Promote tolerance, acceptance, and intercultural dialogue
🎤 Amplify youth voices through creative media and self-expression
🧠 Develop critical thinking around stereotypes, representation, and social cohesion
