Empowering Young Voices
As part of our mission to promote social inclusion and solidarity, we will host workshops on creating street art installations using soda cans. Our studio will welcome 50 young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, including impoverished families and marginalised groups in our community. In Madeira Island, they often face obstacles in accessing transportation, especially youngsters who live in rural areas and villages of the island. We will allocate funds for materials, food, and transportation to ensure their participation.
We plan to facilitate the creation of 10 soda can canvases and also provide meals during breaks in the creative process. Once completed, the artworks will be exhibited in the streets of Câmara de Lobos and the exhibition will attract visitors and tourists, amplifying the reach of our message on social inclusion. Each canvas will serve as a powerful statement on social inclusion, showcasing our unique techniques that effectively engage communities. To further extend the impact of our project, we will document the entire process through video production, highlighting the participants' engagement and the resulting artwork.
These videos will be shared on our social media platforms, promoting awareness and fostering dialogue on the importance of social inclusion and creative expression. Through our collective efforts, we aim to inspire positive change and break down barriers within our community and beyond.
