co-funded by the European Union
At the end of the project CULPEER4change the brochure “Colors of Global Voices” is published. It presents the creation process of 15 large mural paintings, which were developed in eight partner countries during the 3 years project. For the mural paintings, three artists from Europe, the Global South and the respective country together with local children and young people went through a series of creative workshops.
Under the leitmotif “CULPEER4change transforms young people to global citizens” the project brought together over three years young people from the global South with their peers in Europe.
The idea behind our cultural approach is that cultural activities make complex topics accessible to young audiences. Young people experience unintentional informal learning: social skills are tested: they have to engage with an unknown peer and learn new abilities for themselves and do this as well together.
From the 25th until the 27th of October 2021 the final conference of the EU project CULPEER4change took place in Cologne, Germany und the title “Transformation in Education – from Knowledge to Action”. More than 300 people visited the conference, workshops and the final cultural event.
The international artists Jaime Rodriquez (Mexico), Luis Vasquez alias TinTin, Maya Cahua Laura (Bolivia) and Malin Weissenberg (Germany/Cologne) created together with children and youngsters from the youth and culture initiative Juzi e.V. a colorful and meaningful mural painting.
