The project structures workshops for artists and cultural workers in order to become empathic and resilient individuals so as to deal with the post-pandemic social and economic crisis. The cultivation of empathy is beneficial for artists at a professional level, since it enhances the ability to collaborate with others and reduces discriminatory stances, and at the personal level by improving self-awareness and resilience.
The workshops are expected to facilitate creative discussions, the preparation, and implementation of the various sub-projects, and support informal learning through input from the European partners and the diversity of their approaches.
Throughout the project lifetime, the following experiential and landmark workshops are envisaged to be implemented:
