Youth of European Nationalities (YEN) Training Seminar 3: 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲. How can creative action make minority voices visible in public life? 𝟭𝟲-𝟯𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗹𝗱, 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬-𝟮𝟰, 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗮, 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆. Earlier this month, a seminar was held in Daruvar, home of the Czech minority in East Croatia, for young members of minoritized groups from across Europe. Two participants, Elizabeth Freeborn and Jowan Nute, travelled from Cornwall to attend. The theme of the event was “Visibility through Creativity” with the aim of exploring our shared need for self-expression and visibility as minoritised youths. The third YEN seminar will take next month in Hondarribia and we are looking for young participants from Kernow to attend.

Over the 3 days, participants will:

• Learn how public creative actions (like flash mobs, demonstrations and more) can raise awareness and inspire change.

• Reflect on legal, social, and organisational aspects of creative actions.

• Gain practical skills and tips to design safe, effective, and impactful creative activities in the public space.

• Share their cultures and build intercultural connections.

• Develop their own ideas for creative follow-up projects and prepare to bring them back to their organisations.

The programme combines 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀 – from cultural evenings to brainstorming, practical exercises, and city walks – creating a dynamic, interactive environment. By the end of the training, participants will leave with new skills, stronger confidence, and concrete ideas on how to use creativity as a tool for visibility, representation, and advocacy in their communities.
