Meaningful and rewarding experiences
About
Nicosia became an inexhaustible source of inspiration for our young workshop participants from Granada and Cyprus. In August 2022, ARTiculate offered creative writing, ceramic art, and visual art workshops that aimed to engage, connect, and empower.
In November 2022, our Creative Writing Workshops went online, aiming to guide participants to comprehend the threat of climate change through writing and storytelling, and intending to stimulate their creativity toward taking action for the environment and developing a greener mindset—both in their everyday lives and as writers.
The Experience
Through these workshops, participants gained meaningful and rewarding experiences, connection and interaction with young people from different cultural backgrounds, intercultural skills development, and opportunities for self-awareness and growth.
During the online workshops, participants were involved in structured writing activities led by local writers. They were inspired to understand humankind’s responsibility for global warming and articulated these insights through their writing to encourage positive environmental awareness.
The
Workshops
They participated in a series of interactive workshops in which art mentors guided them to explore dimensions of self-empowerment through arts and storytelling, with the aim of becoming actively engaged in democracy and empowered for their own positive futures. Through structured art activities led by local artists, participants were encouraged to explore their relationship with the world and expressed these insights through the arts to inspire positive social change.
The online workshops incorporated digital tools and learning methods to complement participants’ tasks, applying an environmentally friendly approach to workshop implementation and engaging everyone in the path of digital transformation. In this way, ARTiculate’s commitment to the environment and the fight against climate change was put into practice.
