Art for Change

Summary of Action

The project aims to actively mobilize groups of young people from the Turin neighborhoods characterized by immigration and social problems against gender inequality and especially violence against women. Various artistic and cultural experiences on the territory and internationally, in collaboration with artists and dedicated associations, will focus on the development of a message to be transmitted to the entire territory through a collective performance.

In particular, the young people will participate in immersive international exchange experiences and workshops on the territory, aimed at exploring global challenges, imagining a world without violence and abuse and developing messages that will be communicated during a final parade through the peripheral neighborhoods of Turin.
