ReStory

The ReStory – Reclaiming Public Space through Participative Narratives project explores young people’s relationship with public space and the way in which it shapes their daily lives, their identity and their connection to the community. The aim is to encourage young people to rediscover the public spaces in their city, to reflect on their significance and to actively participate in redefining them through artistic creation.

The project’s results will be presented in a digital publication that will include the methodology followed during the research, as well as a collection of practices aimed at youth workers, which encourage young people to reflect on the relationship they build with public space. This material will be compiled into a final publication, available free of charge in English and in the partners’ languages, as a practical tool for artists, educators and professionals working with young people.

ReStory is coordinated by ROOTS & ROUTES Cologne (Germany) in collaboration with SMouTh (Greece), Centro di Creazione e Cultura (Italy), City of Women (Slovenia), Kaunas Cultural Centre of Various Nations (Lithuania) and Subjective Values Foundation (Hungary), and is co-funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme.
