A journey whose beginning recognizes the history and background of each participant, opening a space and time to create.
In 7 “shoots” —exercises—, sent virtually, young people share the reflections of the day, and carry out the proposed activity.
Once the meetings are over, the participants shape an artistic piece, with no mandate other than to create from their freedom...
Each participant sends his/her piece(s) to compete, digitally.
The Organizing Committee, together with the volunteers, facilitates this task, allowing everyone to have the same possibilities, equalizing resources and illuminating the differences that make them unique.
All works are appreciated, valued and are part of the Scholas library for dissemination and exhibition. In each instance a jury meets to convey to the participants the shock experienced upon encountering the work.
The exhibition can take place in physical form. In collaboration with the community and the organizing committee, each piece is given the corresponding treatment to value its unique beauty.
At the end of the year, participants meet virtually or in person, to celebrate and give voice and face to these pieces, celebrate the creativity, the transformed pains and the visualized problems of each community.
