In May, the VEGA multiplier events took place in Dresden 🌿

Across two different events, students, teachers, youth workers, and civic organisations came together to explore creativity, participation, education, and the European Youth Goals.

The first event was hosted at KulturCentrale, JKPeV’s creative space, where the project results and participant-created works were presented in an open and interactive environment.
The second event focused on students and young people, presenting the VEGA project while also creating space for exchange with organisations active in the youth field around participation, wellbeing, and non-formal learning through art.

Across both events, participants explored how creativity and visual arts can support dialogue, expression, and active participation.

✨ On April 13th, we celebrated a special moment of the V.E.G.A. – Visualizing European Goals through Arts project with the local exhibition hosted at CEIPES premises.

The event was a great opportunity to share the results of the artistic journey with students, showcasing the work developed by young participants. Through different forms of visual art – from photography to graphic design and video – they creatively interpreted the European Youth Goals.

The exhibition transformed ideas, experiences, and perspectives into artworks capable of inspiring reflection, dialogue, and awareness on key topics such as active participation, inclusion, and sustainability, which are at the core of the VEGA project.

A meaningful moment where art meets European citizenship, giving space to young voices and helping shape new perspectives for the future.

🎨 A big thank you to all the students who took part and made this event so meaningful!
