Kreativ og Æstetisk aktivitet gør underværker. Fx for unge der skal holdes fast i det formelle uddan-nelsessystem. Men også for unge der falder ud af det formelle udannelsessystem og som pendler, finder egne veje.

Der foregår en uformel læring…. . Hvad lærer de unge af det? Og kan samfundet hjælpe dem på vej og samtidig profitere af deres viden og kunnen? Nogle af disse unge fungerer som igangsættere, rollemodeller og løst tilknyttede instruktører eller undervisere.

På europæisk plan er det dén meget brogede gruppe, der har været på rette sted, fremviser vilje og skaber muligheder, vi har fokus på. Den brogede, ind imellem marginaliserede gruppe som fodrer den 4. hurtigst voksende sektor i Europa: creative industries.

Du er en professionel nøgleperson i den sammenhæng på dansk grund og i lokal eller regional sam-menhæng. Derfor har vi ”håndplukket” dig sammen med en håndfuld andre til deltagelse i en konfe-rence i forbindelse med Euro-Aspire projektets partnermøde op arbejdsmøde i Danmark.

VIA University Collage får besøg af ledende organisationer fra London, Chocolate Factory og WAC, samt partnere fra Holland, New Arts College, Italien, Mulab og Spanien, Artquimia. Vi har samarbejdet i godt et år, og er tæt på resultater til ”aflevering” i EU-fællesskabet: Det vil vi gerne dele med dig i denne fase, hvor vi stadig har brug for udvikling og kan tilbyde dig enestående kontakter og netværk. Arbejdssproget er engelsk:

The EU Aspire Project, a Lifelong Learning Leonardo Project, will develop an innovative European competency framework for trainers using creative expression in informal and non-formal learning environments. The project will investigate how this kind of learning – through the performing and vi-sual arts, media, production and design – provide a bridge from educational and economic exclusion to inclusion…

Keyconceptsandmixedanalogies:

TRANSITION What is the use of buslines if you don´t know where or how to buy a ticket? Lost in transitions?

LEARNING & PARTICIPATIONKnowledge and skills are currencies that fulfil their value within communities – some streetwise, some at the boundaries of shops, industries and even schools and education. It all depends on bridge-building.

GENERAL EDUCATION & EMPOWERMENTThe Dandelion experience (mælkebøtten, mønsterbryderen) tells the story about how a tiny flower breaks through the hard surface of the rundown road. This is due to the fact, that it takes a village to raise a child, all though we cannot avoid the other Clinton bonmot: It is the economy, Stupid!

SO – HOW TO NAVIGATE?We count on bridge-building between informal learning, sustainable enterprises and responsible frameworks of institutional support.
