C20:20 YOUTH JOHN LYONS CHARITY ARTIFICATION 2019
CITIZEN 20:20 YOUTH The JLC grant enabled us to work in partnership with children and youth groups in Acton to explore their ideas of identity, develop understanding of their relationships with others and to create and express this imaginatively. C2020Youth addressed the need for a more proactive, creative and effective initiative in supporting understanding, integration and participation of diverse communities through: * Qualitative tailored training exploring identity and belonging, * Discussion, envisionioning, creating artwork and expressions that empower, * Sharing this experience and personal journey through our exhibition and event.
PROJECT AIMS AND EXPECTATIONS * Developing social interaction between young people by mapping, understanding and sharing their historical experience and its’ impact on them. * Enhancing intercultural and inter-religious dialogue through exploring the concept of ‘identity’. * Developing social action through creative, sustainable practices and structures for youngsters to co-create their future.
