experience
We will gather in a same space for a summer-campus-like experience, 15 of the most creative young artist and gamechangers from different cultures.
1
The Campus
The core group-dynamic methodology will help participants learn from each-other’s realities while designing a multi-layered collaborative–art methodology with a positive impact on chosen social issues. Broad cathegories of selected issues can be: gender equality, evironmental preservation, cultural rights of minorities, access to basic needs, etc. They must be addressed in a collaborative fashion by applying intercultural innovationbased approaches. In parallel, a set of workshops and specialized training modules will be offered. In other words: the solution will arise by combining strategies from every culture´s imaginary, knowledge and values into a collaborative art project´s design.

The Art project
The goal of this stage is to set-up the right conditions for the art-project implementation, as much as mentoring campus participants as focal points in their communities, developing ownership, self-esteem, confidence, resilience and other soft skills needed for young creative leaders to unfold their potential.
The project itself will necessarily be a coral expression of art and digital forms of creativity: Photography, Video, Drawing and illustration, music, performative art... all of them created and/or performed back in their livinghoods. During creation process, participants from all communities will be interconnected, producing all art contents in a network fashion. The results will manifest the power of art as a bridge across cultures, helping under-represented communities regain cultural recognition, embrace coexistence in equity and promote solidarity in nowadays Network Society.
The whole process will produce a transmedia art online platform, made up of all the creations and a set of systematized interactive content that will allow others to replicate the experience in further locations both, from Window to Diversity network and beyond.
