LevelUp Creative Educational Labs based in Limassol and Spazio Sociale Zei based in Lecce, Italy join forces in the new European Erasmus+ program (KA210-YOU) entitled P.O.S.E – Perception of Self-Expression. With a budget of €30,000, the project aims to raise awareness about gender prejudices, developing innovative digital content creation skills and enhancing young people’s participation in the human rights debate through audiovisual art. In simpler terms, young people will be trained to create material that encourages equal opportunities between the gender through art and creative expression. This material will be available to the public in June in Limassol.
The project is supported by the Department of Multimedia and Graphic Arts of the Cyprus University of Technology.
