A Project Centered on Environmental Art
"Palette for the Planet" stems from the belief that art is a powerful tool for raising awareness and promoting social change. In an era where environmental challenges are more urgent than ever, this project aims to engage young European artists in creating public artwork that can inspire the local and global community toward more sustainable practices.
During the exchange week, participants will have the opportunity to:
- Attend workshops on sustainability and the European Green Deal
- Explore the power of art as a tool for social change
- Collaborate with international artists on creating public murals
- Debate environmental solutions and green policies
- Visit unique cultural sites like Göbeklitepe (UNESCO site) and Balıklıgöl
The Value of Cultural Diversity
One of the most enriching aspects of this exchange is cultural diversity. Italian participants will collaborate with young people from Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, and Spain, creating a stimulating intercultural learning environment. This cross-pollination of ideas and perspectives is fundamental to developing innovative approaches to global environmental challenges.
Who We're Looking For
We are looking for 6 Italian artists with the following characteristics:
- Between 18 and 30 years old (no age limit for the team leader)
- Experience in street art, illustration, murals, or other visual art forms
- Passion for environmental issues and sustainability
- Interest in intercultural dialogue and international collaboration
- Full availability for the project dates (May 22-29, 2025)
Practical Aspects
Accommodation: Participants will be hosted at the Göbeklitepe Hotel in Şanlıurfa, with food and lodging fully covered by the Erasmus+ program.
Travel: Travel expenses will be reimbursed up to a maximum of €395 per Italian participant, according to Erasmus+ program rules. Participants will need to purchase their own flight tickets (generally through Istanbul) and present all necessary documentation for reimbursement.
