Pirouette

Pirouette The project idea stems from the recognition of youth’s social and civic engagement as a driving force for community development.

🎭 Mladi u Mostaru su kroz trodnevnu obuku pokazali da umjetnost može biti snažan alat za promjene!

Iako istraživanja pokazuju da čak 71% mladih u HNK/Ž ne učestvuje u kulturnim događajima, a 81% nije uključeno u umjetničke aktivnosti (Strategija za mlade HNK/Ž 2023-2028.), naši učesnici su dokazali suprotno, interes i želja postoje kada se mladima ponudi prostor za kreativno izražavanje.

Od 26. do 28. augusta mladi umjetnici/ce i aktivisti/ce Mostara kroz fotografiju, pokret, poeziju i teatar istraživali su kako umjetnost može biti snažan alat za povezivanje globalnih tema sa lokalnim izazovima.

Tokom tri dana obuke „Tvoj glas, tvoja scena “nastale su brojne ideje, fotografije i stihovi, a vrhunac obuke bio je završni performans u kojem su mladi pokazali kako umjetnost može inspirisati zajedništvo i solidarnost. 🌍

Hvala svim učesnicima/ama na energiji, kreativnosti i hrabrosti da svoje misli pretoče u umjetnički izraz. Ovo je tek početak, vidimo se uskoro na novim lokalnim susretima!

Ova aktivnost se sprovodi u sklopu projekta Pirouette 2 – KreARTivna zajednica, koji vodi Agencija lokalne demokratije Mostar (BiH) u partnerstvu sa Magnet Association (Srbija), Redial partnership (Irska), Anibar (Kosovo), NGO NEST Berlin (Njemačka) i Optimisti (Crna Gora), a sufinansira je Evropska unija 🇪🇺.

🌍 As the voices unfold, one thing is clear — creativity opens doors to connection, courage, and community change.

🎵 “I had never used sound, rhythm or voice in my work — now I can’t imagine leaving them out.”

Elyssa, an artist from Ireland, discovered a whole new way to connect with youth through accessible, cost-free, and creative tools. She plans to organize Irish-language youth workshops in her community, tackling social topics in safe and engaging ways.

🌍 “This training gave me the confidence to speak up and take action in my community.”

From local voices to global action — let’s keep building skills that echo far beyond the training room. 💡🎭

Pirouette 2 project is led by Agencija lokalne demokratije Mostar (BiH) and implemented in partnership with Magnet Association (Serbia), Redial partnership (Ireland), Anibar (Kosovo), NGO NEST Berlin (Germany), and Optimisti (Montenegro).

🌍 From collaboration and creativity to deeper personal growth — the journey continues.

Through a series of short clips, hear directly from participants of our Global Education and Performative Arts international training.

🌐 “This training helped me realize how much space there is for creativity and how we can use simple tools to learn, connect, and feel safe.”

Silvia from Berlin plans to bring these methods back to her NGO, enhancing workshops and creating safe, inclusive learning environments.

🎭 “The theatre session was totally new for me — and yet, that unfamiliar space gave me the most growth.”

Every experience becomes a stepping stone toward stronger communities — led by confident, creative young people.

Let’s keep building skills together. ✨

Stay tuned...
