During the next two years ECYC engages together with the University College Leuven-Limburg, Villabasta creative youth houses association, KRUG Art movement Bulgaria, EPEKA youth work organization Slovenia in developing a guide for youth art work methods. 

'Art neighboryouth' stands for youth art projects in public space, organised by youngsters age 14 -16, questioning a social topic. Trough developing community art projects with youth, initiated by youth art organisations and youth worker education organisations youngsters will use artistic processes to investigate social issues, with a special attention given to social interaction with a diverse group of people. 

The development of a roadmap for youth art work in public space is innovative. Youth art projects are usually organised in youth centres, cultural centres or schools. Those are safe, isolated areas. But when we want to activate the citizenship of the participating youngsters, it's necessary to explore the society taking into consideration it`s multimple facets. The public space offers the ideal social laboratory for such a project. During the project the a generic European roadmap will be developed also with a special attention given for aspects related to local context.

​The program is supported trough the Erasmus+ KA2 - Cooperation for Innovation and the Exchange of Good Practices Strategic Partnerships for youth.
