Description
“Conexio” is a citizenship education project that aims the participation of citizens in civic activities, through arts. The activities are aimed at 20 youngsters (ages 15 to 24) in a social exclusion context. It aims to trigger a process to contribute to the development of an identity sense and community bounds, in Piedade Jovem neighborhood (São Miguel island, Açores), through actions of education, reflection, artistic transformation of the neighborhood and community involvement. The lack of an identity sense and the lack of sense of appropriation/accountability for the common spaces are the needs that the project intends to tackle. The project has the duration of 18 months and encompasses 3 phases: Planning | Execution | Evaluation. The execution forecasts non formal education activities for an active and responsible citizenship through education by arts (Plastics, Music, Performative, digital, etc.).
