Description
Social innovation is a concept that deeply relates to sustainability through bottom-up solutions to overcome everyday challenges from the living hood.
In Brazil, COOPAMARE is the oldest and most relevant operating waste pickers' association formed 30 years ago by homeless people in a condition of marginalization and exclusion that transformed their reality through working with recycling materials and with their endeavour on raising the awareness of populations in a state of social vulnerability rights.
Realizing the essential work of “catação” (waste picking) and remembering is the meaning of dignity as a fundamental step for self-empowerment, the COOPAMARE group is one of the Brazilian case studies in the SEEYouth Project, which focus on youth and adult youth at/from the margins by using arts-based and design methods to give voice and help them to empower themselves.
This webinar will invite the audience to deep dive into two essential topics as inspirational sources to discuss sustainability, innovation, and social purpose:
1. Creativity as a potential tool to change our realities, and
2. The educational experiences and point of views from professors and students with different backgrounds that have been working with COOPAMARE

The ‘SEEYouth Creative Thursdays’ are a series of webinars that highlights how creativity can empower youth and young adults who face challenging situations.
Every month, a member of the international SEEYouth team speaks directly from experience about how to run art and design workshops depending on participant profiles, overall objectives, and available resources.
The webinars are an opportunity to share perspectives, discuss best practices, and get inspired to prevent marginalization and increase opportunities for youth using creativity-based methods.
