🇳🇴 Erasmus+ Training Course in Norway 🎨 Belonging in Motion 🌲 🇳🇴

“Belonging in Motion” is an 8-day experiential training course for youth workers who want to explore how land art and storytelling can be used as tools for inclusion, dialogue, and community building. In increasingly diverse societies, this project focuses on the vital question: Where do I belong?

🌍 Did You Know? Balestrand, located on the Sognefjord, has been a source of inspiration for artists since the 19th century due to its dramatic landscape and unique light.

What Will You Do?

🎨 Land Art Philosophy: Learn practical techniques of creating art directly in nature using materials like stones, leaves, wood, and soil.

📖 Storytelling Skills: Develop narratives that connect artistic expression with personal experiences of identity and belonging.

🛠️ Youth Work Methodology: Transform creative processes into practical tools for inclusion and community dialogue.

📸 Creative Documentation: Learn how to document temporary art installations through photo, video, and interviews.

📝 Action Planning: Design a concrete plan to apply these land art methods with young people in your local community.
