PROCCREA, L’ART D’AGIR
“You cannot really know where you are going, until you know where you come from.”
Having a sustained engagement with NEETS, young persons not engaged in education, employment or training, is never easy. PROCCREA, L’ART D’AGIR understands that to help this group of young persons to succeed in life, they must uncover the deeper issues behind their current personal and vocational struggles.
PROCCREA, L’ART D’AGIR provides a 6-month training pathway during which the participants are involved individually and as a group in artistic creation in various disciplines. The participants reflect on their social background and what future they would like to have through individual and collective story-building and (re)socialisation. The aim of this program is to increase self-confidence, promote active citizenship and the sense of belonging.
