<< Background >>Since 2018, the young generation, led by Greta Thunberg, managed to create the greatest momentum for stopping the climate crisis in history. For months, thousands of youngsters gathered every Friday for climate strikes around the world, following the movement Fridays for Future and groups such as Extinction Rebellion. At the same time, in 2019 the new European Commission adopted the European Green Deal as its new growth strategy, aiming at becoming the first climate neutral continent by 2050. However, the Covid 19 outbreak put a halt in both the climate strikes. Now, innovative methods need to be implemented to help the environmental cause regain momentum and ensure that the recovery from Covid 19 will be green and ensure a sustainable future for the young generation. The EC has recognised the gap and launched in January 2021 the new European Bauhaus initiative - an environmental, economic and cultural project, aiming to combine design, sustainability, accessibility, affordability and investment in order to help deliver the European Green Deal. For such a shift to be sustained in the long run, activists need to be deeply motivated, well informed, highly trained and well connected. Being the leaders of tomorrow, as well as the main source of innovation, young minds have the greatest potential of making change happen. Our project will contribute to the movement by offering young people the tools to collectively achieve a just, local, green, economically viable transition through digital artistic tools for collaboration, community building, participation in democratic procedures, literacy and advocacy.<< Objectives >>This project aims to create young civic bodies that are well informed and well equipped in order to express their environmental concerns and struggles efficiently. Through the creation of a cycle of empowerment, the overarching goal of this project is for the political and social relevance of the climate crisis to regain momentum even without its main advocacy tool: physical protesting. With young generations being more accustomed to digital and artistic ways of expression (especially when the two are combined), this project aims at enabling youth participants to engage artistically in order to bring about social, economic and political change. The main objectives of the project are: -Offer a pacific way of engaging power, playing with power, rather than replicating oppression patterns or power dynamics, and as a result produce new forms of social relations.-Serves as a means for community building around the topic of the European Green Deal at grassroots level, thus creating not only an external solution to problems, but communities of support.-Through its low threshold and entertaining nature, allows new participants into the discussions on the topic of EGD<< Implementation >>Project dissemination strategies and multiplier events in the form of co-op games, a festival, joint-training are aimed at expanding the influence and cause of the project. Moreover, in collaboration with city authorities short plays to be performed outdoors in city squares; Posters/Comics to be placed at public spaces; short videos to be played at city billboards; Short films to be submitted to film festivals; Storytelling to be included in local TedX sessions; creative writing posted in local newspapers and EU policy magazines.Our target groups are: youth (aged 16-30 years old) and Youth Workers who desire to help the cultural and creative sectors recover from the crisis in terms of green, more digital and resilient recovery, and youth participants, especially those involved with Arts who desire to get informed, trained and well connected so that they can really make a change.<< Results >>These tools have been developed with the core values of the New European Bauhaus -sustainability, aesthetics and inclusiveness- in mind and are a “CREATIVITY Web-toolkit” and a “GREEN CITIZENSHIP Workshop”. The aim of the “CREATIVITY Web-toolkit” (PR1) is to educate and train youngsters in engaging in active citizenship and most importantly provide them with alternative forms of expression inspired by the Arts and digital trends of our era to uphold the interests of future generations as equal to those of present ones. The aim of the Green Citizenship Workshop Handbook (PR2) is to clearly and comprehensively present the Guidelines that will enable facilitators to deliver the “Green Citizenship” Workshop worldwide. The aim of the Workshop is to promote international dialogue on the topic of Climate Change and social responsibility. PR2 is accompanied with a VIRTUAL THINK TANK to support dialogue beyond the timeline of the project between young people, youth leaders, youth workers, policy makers and other key actors from different backgrounds. It will provide participants with a dedicated place to host their creations, network, find collaborators to implement their project ideas, foster learning and capacity building between locally rooted organizations and individuals and more mature CSOs and NGOS. Green Artivism will provide fertile ground for interaction and dialogue even (and especially) under the conditions of social distancing and the travel restrictions that Covid 19 imposed. With the finalisation of this project, it is expected that a cycle of empowerment and advocacy will be established, where more and more youth NGOs and participants will be able to join the Green Artivism network and independently express and fight for their environmental rights and for a better future with a strong, healthy and democratic civil society
