The COVID-19 epidemic is having a fundamental impact on the European cultural and creative industry which is especially true for vulnerable groups like artists with minority background. To reduce the damage and draw attention to the problem, we want to create a cross-sectoral educational cooperation that introduces the culture and art of European minorities (religious, linguistic, ethnic, cultural) to young people through innovative and creative art educational methods. Our project has two main objectives: strengthen the creativity and socio-education of youth with online audiovisual production, and support the minority members of the European cultural sector with creative social media campaigns. We live in a social-media dominated world, which is particular true to the younger generations who were born into the digital world. The youth need to be taught how to orient themselves in this virtual space to acquire life and to be able to create real value in it. The program helps the preparation for innovative digital education under which we place particular emphasis on the development of digital and creative skills and competencies of the participants by tweaking of audiovisual content, refine the specificities of new media phenomena -how to be a value oriented influencer- with individual needs and the novel use of art education in an online collaboration space.

The expected objectives of the project:
- to strengthen solidarity and tolerance in European youth
- to help in preserving the traditions and culture of European minorities and nationalities
- to support the European cultural and creative industry with innovative online campaigns and practical creative skills development of youth
- to develop a voluntary and self-support online educational network for youth and citizens with minority backgrounds in a long-term
- to help educators working with youth to prepare their group members for the global and social challenges in the future
