Ce projet a pour objectif d’inciter les jeunes à prendre activement part à des projets participatifs au niveau local, à être force de proposition dans des modes d’intervention dans l’espace public, à prendre position et être écouté par les élus au niveau local sur les modes de participation des habitants dans leur quartiers.

La crise économique et financière que traverse l’Europe a fait apparaître de nouveaux espaces d’échange et favorisé le développement d’une économie sociale et solidaire. Le développement de projets culturels participatifs témoignent de cette évolution. De nombreux créateurs et artistes travaillent aujourd’hui en rapport direct avec les habitants (artistes plasticiens, artistes du spectacle vivant, urbanistes…)

Les opérateurs culturels qui portent ce projet travaillent déjà avec les populations les plus fragiles lors de manifestations culturelles au cœur de l’espace public. Au cœur d’événements populaires, tels que des parades urbaines, carnavals ou autres manifestations ils invitent chaque année des artistes à travailler avec la population sur la création d’œuvres communes, dans le cadre d’ateliers partagés par des publics de quartiers sensibles socialement et économiquement. Ils réalisent cela tout en privilégiant l’exigence artistique comme critère de choix.

La préparation de ces manifestations en coopération avec les habitants se fait au sein d’ateliers, pendant des répétitions, au cours de repas communs permettant de créer des espaces dans lesquels les savoir-faire se partagent, les individualités s’expriment, les conflits peuvent apparaître, les décisions se prennent. Lieux d’expression de la citoyenneté, ils sont les laboratoires de la démocratie participative. Témoins actifs de la mise en oeuvre de ces projets, les jeunes dans ce travail d’observation développent leur propre analyse, étape nécessaire à la formulation de propositions appropriées, adaptées aux environnements différents et à leurs interlocuteurs.

Ce projet répond aux priorités du programme sur les axes suivants :

The aim of this project is to encourage young people to take an active part in participatory projects at local level, to be a driving force in proposing ways of intervening in the public space, to take a stand and be listened to by elected representatives at local level on the ways in which inhabitants participate in their neighbourhoods.
– Aimed at young people living in sensitive neighbourhoods, and in precarious situations (at school and professional level), it aims to strengthen their understanding of political decision-making at a local level and to increase their participation in the civic life of their community. This project aims to encourage new forms of learning to participate.
– The young people come from the least endowed neighbourhoods of the Zagreb and Bordeaux metropolitan area. Based on participatory cultural projects (urban parades), the young people will compare the contexts in which participatory projects are developed: the degree of appropriation of public space by the inhabitants, differences in the apprehension of public space and of active and participatory citizenship, the weight of history and of political and economic contexts in the exercise of citizenship at the local level. By comparing and investing public spaces in Croatian and French neighbourhoods, young Europeans become aware that they can be active as European citizens in decision-making at a local level. The investment of public space is not comparable in the two spaces, still timid in Croatia and much more common in France. Exploring both territories allows the group of young people to project themselves in a common and European environment;
– Given the economic, financial and social crises that Europe is going through, the notion of European citizenship is weakened by these various crises, encouraging the emergence of movements of withdrawal and xenophobia.

The economic and financial crisis that Europe is going through has created new areas of exchange and favoured the development of a social and solidarity economy. The development of participatory cultural projects is evidence of this evolution. Many creators and artists now work in direct contact with the inhabitants (visual artists, performing artists, town planners, etc.).

The cultural operators who carry this project are already working with the most fragile populations during cultural events in the heart of the public space. At the heart of popular events, such as urban parades, carnivals or other events, they invite artists each year to work with the population on the creation of joint works, in workshops shared by audiences from socially and economically sensitive neighbourhoods. They do this while giving priority to the artistic requirement as a criterion of choice.

The preparation of these events in cooperation with the inhabitants takes place within workshops, during rehearsals, during common meals, allowing for the creation of spaces in which know-how is shared, individualities are expressed, conflicts may arise, decisions are made. Places of expression of citizenship, they are the laboratories of participatory democracy. As active witnesses to the implementation of these projects, young people in this observation work develop their own analysis, a necessary step in the formulation of appropriate proposals, adapted to different environments and their interlocutors.

This project meets the programme’s priorities in the following areas :
– raising awareness of European citizenship
– active participation of young people in the civic life of their community and learning to participate
– Autonomy in learning and in taking a stand on the part of young people and proposals to be implemented
– Respect for cultural diversity by developing intercultural learning (between young Europeans living in different contexts and in contact with the populations participating in participatory cultural operations)
– the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities due to social, economic, cultural differences, geographical barriers (the least endowed neighbourhoods in the agglomerations, etc.), and the lack of a clear vision of the future.
– Aimed at young people in difficult circumstances, this project addresses problems related to unemployment and the active participation in society of unemployed young people. Intervening in cultural projects with a strong inclusive dimension, the young people are in contact with populations experiencing exclusion: migrants, disabled people, young Roma.
– Incorporating digital skills, the projects stimulate the spirit and creativity of young people.
– Finally, the young people work in outdoor activities, surveying the neighbourhoods where the cutlurels projects are being set up, and meeting the inhabitants, elected officials, associative and cultural project leaders, and artists.
