Description
As the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to develop new communication and interaction tools and methods, it poses particular challenges - but also new possibilities - to work with youth at margins.
In the fourth Creative Thursday Webinar, we present two arts-based case studies in Finland, focusing on the processes of creating networks, connection and shared horizons between the stakeholders and researchers, and between the youth and researchers.
The youth with asylum seeking backgrounds and stakeholders with long-term experience of working with the youth contributed their knowledge to the project.
We explore the possibilities and challenges of online/face-to-face arts-based methods to create safe, dialogical spaces for collaboration and promoting change on structural and individual levels.
Speakers:
Professor Ana Nuutinen
Professor Heidi Pietarinen
Dr.Soc.Sci Enni Mikkonen

University of Lapland
Format:

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.
