VJland (Training Course)

The first training in Czech Republic will focus on a beneficiary group of youngsters degrading public spaces with graffiti. By learning VJing and developing VJing initiatives, the youth workers and artists participants will offer those youngsters a legal and harmless way to channel their creativity and engage them in citizen participation by creative appropriation of public spaces.

Then, a few months later, a second training in Turkey will give the opportunity to our participants to develop and implement a longer workshop with youngsters from Kurdish communities, suffering from social exclusion in the city of Mardin. By leading the participants and their workshop group to create and present a VJing performance in Karlory Vary and in Mardin, we also hope to participate in creating free public activities for the local community; engaging rural development by using local spaces as performing spaces; helping youngsters developing their own citizen initiatives; building a community feeling by using visual elements from the city and its inhabitants in a performance created and performed by its youngsters, helping to develop the relationship between youngsters and their city and spreading the pluridisciplinary artistic practice of VJing!
