Young talents in visual art/sculpture do not have sufficient support and conditions for their creation, be it in terms of new opportunities for creation in public space or access to material and technical facilities, due to high costs related to sculpture creation. In reaction to this situation, the main aim of the project conducted by four partners: CZ, IT, SK, IS, is to foster art creation of young talents in order to help them to develop their career in full respect of their creative talent and ambitions. The objective of the project is first to provide support to young talents in their career helping to tackle the obstacles on the related labour market. It introduces innovative approaches and stimulates international multidisciplinary co-creation, by connecting talents and experts from other disciplines: ecology/environment, natural and social sciences to one place. Second, in the context of the call´s priorities the project addresses the topic of sustainable behaviour of young talents. Third, general public as the audience of visual art in open space will be approached by the theme of the climate change consequences in the area they live in and beyond through the topic of sustainable clothing. Created artworks will serve as a medium with a potential to boost a behavioural change. Activities: international multidisciplinary hackathon, creation of artworks for open space and awareness raising events and educational activities Outputs: 3 artworks in 3 locations (CZ, IT, IS) created from recycled/re-used material, accompanied by exhibitions, awareness raising and educational events Expected results: Young talents trained in green skills, better changes on the labour market; behavioural change in terms of sustainability on the side of both target groups; strengthening of the role of visual art in today´s context Beneficiaries: 160 young talents (visual/sculpture art + other disciplines); general public, indirectly experts of the international multidisciplinary
