ARTS WITHOUT BORDERS. “Building Bridges” (AWB) is an arts, educational, multi dimensional, transnational project to be coordinated by NICOLA (United Kingdom) in partnership with NICOLA (France), Projeto Presente (Brazil) and ACET (Togo) , aimed to youth within the field of arts and digital literacy. It pursues to have an impact in both youngsters and their communities giving an arts/media/digital literacy trainning focused on the use of digital tools, transnational networking and the creation of open access materials with the final objective of enabling the youngsters to create their own enterprise, working groups or associations, and also providing them with formal and non formal learning which will help them in their future career development. ARTS WITHOUT BORDERS. “Building Bridges” is an arts/media trainning course which foresees a programme with mobility activities to be held in London (UK), Strasbourg (France), Serra do Cipó (Brazil) and Lomé (Togo). Forty youths and sixteen youth workers will meet in these four locations within a period of 24 months to engage in a variety of activities which will include workshops in arts and digital literacy, enterprising and networking within the field of the cultural industry, innovative techniques and learning methods and personal development. Events such as debates and a seminar are also planned to be included. The creation of final materials for lifelong learning (OER) which will be available in a web platform, will be one of the main objectives of the project. Its creation has the purpose of sharing and developing open acess content as well as serving as a meeting point for further collaborations between the four organisations/regions. There will be a variety of activities, focused on workshops in music, media and creative industry, mixed with the last trends in technology, researching and learning within the field, while taking the command of their own productions. The topics to be addressed are freedom of speech, civil society engagement, human rights, tolerance within different cultures and personal development through arts as key features. As its names suggests, the main focus of this project is to overcome borders, not only geographical ones, but socioeconomic, ethnic and cultural ones, mixing arts and digital tools/resources. We aim to build bridges, connecting the youth and fostering cooperation amongst them, preventing the isolation created by borders, which we pretend to overcome through arts and digital tools. We pursue to enhance the relations South-North in the field, creating positive synergies and effective and lasting cooperation beyond the project.
