ARTivistic comes from a combination of Activistic and Art. Activistic defined as a person who disposed to take an action or effectuate change. Thus, our project wants to effectuate a change by qualifying youth workers as artivists and change-makers to work with the young people to address the social issues that society faces today. To do so and to boost creativity, we wanted to use the methodology of divergent thinking which promotes and uses the methodology of thinking basically out of the box as the creativity needs. The project will address the issues, by using art tools and divergent thinking methodology during its process. During the project cycle, we will address four main topics ( social peace, poverty, unemployment and domestic violence ) become more visible during Covid-19 by using art and divergent thinking methodology.The main aim of the project is increasing awareness by addressing the cross-cutting issues such as social peace, poverty, unemployment, domestic violence raised during the Covid-19 through art and creativity. The project directly works with young people and youth workers who are involved in art. The training activity will increase the skills and knowledge of the youth workers working in the field of art and qualify them to work with young people in their own communities.

"The threat of COVID-19, social exclusion and the closure of schools at the end of last school year posed an important task for school education around the world - the introduction of a completely distance form of education.Regardless of how and to what extent normal learning activities are resumed, distance learning is very likely to be an important part of the learning process in general and a preventive measure in particular, in order to avoid a sharp increase in infection rates. Therefore, it is important to take measures and work to correct the shortcomings and weaknesses inherent in distance learning. The main disadvantage of distance learning is the discontinued social communication between teachers and students.The idea of the project is to develop a Crisis Simulator, dedicated to the various crises that children need to be aware of and ways to prevent and respond to them. The emphasis will be on a methodology that is attractive, with clear messages and instructions. The crisis simulator will enable teachers to include it, as part of the remote work with students in class or in other classes, as well as to use them in communication with parents to draw their attention to parental involvement in online life and children's education.The crisis simulator will use a complex psychological approach aimed at overcoming emotional stress in a critical event - natural disasters, industrial accidents, catastrophes, terrorist acts, etc.The main goal of the project is to develop a methodology and technical specification for application (Crisis Simulator), which will provide preparation and psychological support to students in a situation of various crises, through an innovative game model.SPECIFIC AIMS:•To support teachers and students in adapting to distance learning;•To prepare teachers and students to deal with possible life risks - violence in all its forms, xenophobia, etc.•To prepare teachers and students to deal with possible future similar challenges and crises - pandemics, cataclysms and any other emergencies;•Active inclusion and equal opportunities for inclusion in the online education of students from 1st to 7th grade, incl. from risk groups;•Increasing the number of students from risk groups who are involved in distance learning by creating a social environment in the Internet space.THE TARGET GROUPS of the project are divided into:•teachers (representatives of general education schools);•students from 1st to 7th grade, incl. from the under-represented risk groups: students from ethnic minorities, students living in isolated and remote geographical areas, students with risky behavior and at risk of dropping out of the learning process, students from families with economic constraints and difficulties, students with educational difficulties, etc.ACTIVITIESThe following intellectual products will be developed within the project:O1 - Methodology and technical specification for creating a ""Crisis Simulator"" applicationO2 - Development of interactive materials (game models)O3 - Crisis Simulator Pilot ApplicationFive transnational meetings of the partners are plannedM1 - Kickoff meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria - March 2021M2 - Second transnational project meeting in Bologna, Italy - September 2021M3 - Third transnational project meeting in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal - December 2021M4 - Fourth transnational project meeting in Alcalá la Real, Spain - March 2022M5 - Final project meeting in Sofia, Bulgaria - October 2022Learning mobility:C1 - Training of teachers to work in a crisis situation according to the model of WE ARE Lda.
