    Weaving Together
    Sep 9, 2026
    Immersion in creativity can bring us closer to our inner selves by letting us observe them from the outside and cultivate greater self-awareness. Art has the power to open our minds, connect across cultural differences, and understand shared values (07-05-2021. “Art and empathy: Four thought leaders explain the connection.”). Art can be a powerful way for us to gain a better understanding of human emotions and stories. It gives us a unique lens into artists’ inner worlds.

    From Power to Empowerment
    Sep 8, 2026
    The From Power to Empowerment project aims to give youth workers concrete tools to identify and deconstruct the often invisible power dynamics in their professional and social environments. When these dynamics are not recognized, they fuel inequalities, hinder emancipation, and limit the participation of the most marginalized young people. The objective is to contribute to fairer, more inclusive, and more equal environments within the field of youth work.

    I REVIVE
    May 9, 2024
    Many young people living in urban areas today live a life disconnected from nature and are therefore unaware of the extent of environmental crises and how they threaten their mental health. The disconnection from nature can cause young people to face emotional struggles such as stress, anxiety, and hopelessness. Through this project, we wanted young people to strengthen their connection with nature and build environmental awareness. We aimed to help them build a healthy connection with both the planet and their inner world.

    Totem R.I.S.E. (Rural Introspective & Spiritual Evolution)
    Feb 10, 2020
    “Totem R.I.S.E.” is a concrete follow-up to the youth exchange “EuRoB.I.N. Food” , which took place in Amsterdam in 2018. During that project, participants experienced a deep spiritual connection with food, as well as with the rituals, religious beliefs, and cultural values connected to it. As food was recognized as a fundamental element of culture, participants began researching its origins and traditions, discovering that many typical dishes and food-related customs originate from—and are still preserved in—rural areas.
