The project in a few words

In a world dominated by climate anxiety and dystopian narratives, what would it mean to flip the script? ArtyVision is an 11-day Erasmus+ youth exchange that invites 30 young people from France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Spain to reimagine the future through artistic expression.

We’ll gather in the French countryside for a collaborative artistic residency where creativity becomes a tool for inspiration, transformation, and hope. Through photography, storytelling, visual arts, writing, and performance, participants will co-create bold narratives of what our world could be.

Main Objectives

  • Explore how art can drive social and environmental transformation
  • Equip participants with creative tools to turn complex topics into accessible stories
  • Encourage utopian thinking and collective imagination
  • Facilitate intercultural collaboration and empathy
  • Build a European network of young artists and storytellers
  • Co-create a public exhibition with the works produced during the exchange

Who can apply?

  • … are residing in Germany
  • … Passionate about art, creativity, and social change
  • … Beginner or emerging storytellers, photographers, performers, visual artists, writers, etc.
