Description
The aim of the project is to support people in the crisis of homelessness and their integration with the residents of the City of Wrocław. We would like to change the negative image of people experiencing homelessness as well as to fight stereotypes and prejudices associated with homelessness itself. The project involves active participation and joint activities of both the group of people in the homelessness crisis and other social groups in Wrocław, thanks to which there will be a chance to introduce real social change in the city. As part of the project we will conduct craft and artistic workshops as well as integration meetings in the interdisciplinary space ‘MiserArt – the creative zone in the maze of exclusion’, located in the complex of outbuildings in Wrocław. During workshops held under the slogan of ‘The Outhouse of Inspirations’, people in the crisis of homelessness will learn to use upcycling to create objects that will later be used to arrange a space for social integration. They will acquire both ‘hard’ skills (e.g. using carpentry tools) and ‘soft’ skills (e.g. creative thinking). An important element of the project are the workshops-meetings carried out under the slogan of ‘Please, sit in’, whose aim is to integrate people in the crisis of homelessness with the youth and the local community of the Nadodrze district of Wrocław.
