THE POWER OF COMMUNITY, CARE AND CREATIVE PROTEST

Seen and Heard is a freedom of expression project, centered on young people in Europe. Its key objectives are identified as the co-production of creative protest and mobilisation of the human right of freedom of expression WITH young people, considered here as artists, makers, healers in their own right. Its achievement will be the design and implementation of a full life cycle of a social movement (from academic research to activist art and public dissemination and evaluation) in inclusive communities, in three European cities with strong migrant, refugee and asylum seeker populations.

Young People Speaking Up for Themselves

Dr. Mateusz Świetlicki (University of Wrocław, Poland)

With Seen and Heard, our aim is to demarginalise young people and give them space that they may not otherwise have due to their context, to voice their concerns and opinion. Words by Dr. Mateusz Świetlicki.
