Are you a young person passionate about the arts and committed to making a difference in your community and beyond? We invite you to join our upcoming training and discussion series focused on leveraging the power of young voices in peacebuilding efforts across borders. Led in collaboration with Creativity & Change MTU Cork and Sauti Studios/Cork Migrant Centre by socially engaged artist Helen O’Keeffe and rap artist and spoken word poet Raphael Olympio, this training will explore issues that matter to you. This Cork (Ireland)-based residential opportunity for youth leaders and young people will provide a safe space to unlock your potential in communicating through the arts and will explore creative forms for enhanced collaboration, acknowledging the need for many peaces. This hands-on training course will combine the power of art with the energy of young visionaries from diverse backgrounds to explore how transnational cooperation can lead to a more peaceful and sustainable future. Build a creative toolkit and learn how to engage collaborative processes like spoken word poetry, rap music, street art and zine making to navigate difficult conversations and bring attention to urgent global issues.
