The ARTS project officially kicked off in Murcia on March 27-28! It was an amazing opportunity for all our partners to come together, brainstorm, and dive deep into our plans for the next steps.🌍

We finalized key pieces like the guidebook structure, best practices selection, and the dissemination strategy that will guide us through the project. A huge thanks to everyone for their hard work and collaboration. This is just the beginning! 💪

🌍✨ 2 weeks ago, YYSK was proud to host an international conference under the Youth Zero to Hero (YZ2H) project, bringing together 8 municipalities and local Kosice leaders to explore the topics of youth leadership and sustainability.

👉 The event marked the fifth international meeting of the project and the first since a long pause from September. Delegations from seven European countries joined us in Slovakia for 2 days. On Day 1, we were hosted by Stredná športová škola @skolsky.parlament_ssske , where we held two dynamic World Café sessions with youth, international guests, and municipal representatives, tackling five key issues related to climate change and sustainability. The day continued with a walking tour of the city and ended with participants exploring its nightlife, joined by some of the local youths 🤩

🐝 On Day 2, we took a wonderful day trip to Ekocentrum Sosna, where we had an inspiring tour focused on ecological living and sustainability in action, leaving us re-energized, connected, and full of ideas for the future 💡🌿

YYSK thanks all the attendants, school, Ekocentrum and other partners for this amazing meeting and looks forward to Estonia in May and Slovenia in June - stay tuned for open calls! 😎

🎨Turn Fear into Art with Comics! 🎨

Fear of failure is something everyone faces, but what if you could turn it into a comic? By giving your fear a character and a story, you can understand it better and start to manage it in a creative way. 🖊️

Creating a comic isn’t just fun. It helps you reflect on your challenges and see how you can overcome them. 🧠

Ready to try it out? Grab your pencil, start drawing, and let your imagination guide you! ✍️

😅 Feeling like you’re the only one who doesn’t have it all figured out? You’re definitely not alone. 😅

The truth is, no one really feels ready for adult life, it`s all about taking it one step at a time. Whether it`s winging it, making mistakes, or figuring out new things every day, it’s part of the process. 🚀

You don’t need a 5-year plan right now, and that`s totally okay. Things will shift, and you’ll grow along the way. 😉

Need help getting started or just want someone to talk to about it? Adulting 101 is here to guide you step by step. 🙌

🎭🎨 From spray cans and theatre to deep talks — this youth exchange in Bulgaria had it all! ✈🇧🇬

This March, a group of 6 Slovak participants joined the youth exchange Youth ARTivism 4 Change in the small town of Bansko, Bulgaria!

Together with peers from 5 other countries, they explored cyberbullying, discrimination, and hate speech through creativity. They took part in powerful workshops and theatre sessions, and even designed their very first graffiti pieces! 🖌️💬

The exchange wasn’t just about learning, it was about stepping out of comfort zones, sharing cultures, making friendships, and even trying skiing for the first time! ⛷️

Huge thanks to @alternativi.international for making this amazing experience possible!
