Registration Opens for the “Different, but Together – Values Come to Life” Art Camps
On 8, 9 and 10 September, Varna and Burgas will become spaces for creativity, new friendships and shared experiences. Registration is now open for the “Different, but Together – Values Come to Life” Art Camps, bringing together young people aged 18–29, including young people with disabilities.
Over the course of three days, participants will paint, create with clay, sing, dance and express themselves through different forms of art. No previous experience is required – what matters is the desire to try something new, meet new people and become part of a shared experience.
🎨 Three Days – Three Themes
Each day of the Art Camp is dedicated to different values, which participants will explore not only through discussion, but also through creativity and working together8 September – “Me and the Other” Dignity • Acceptance • Tolerance
A day for getting to know one another, taking the first steps in the creative workshops and discovering how art can help us express who we are and how we would like others to treat us.
🤝 9 September – “We, Together” Equality • Solidarity • Participation
We will work together, continue our creative workshops and begin to “bring the arts together” – individual ideas, artworks, music and movement will gradually become one shared message.
🎤 10 September – “My Voice Matters” Freedom • Self-expression • Belonging • Europe
We will complete our artworks, song and dance, and the three days will conclude with the “Different, but Together” Mini Festival, where participants will have the opportunity to present what they have created.
🌱 From Isolation to Participation and Creativity
For many young people with disabilities, opportunities to socialise, make new friends and participate fully in youth life are still limited.
Through the Art Camps, we want to create a different kind of environment – one in which young people with disabilities are active participants and creators, with their own voices, ideas and talents.
Through art, we will explore equality, human dignity, tolerance and inclusion – not as abstract concepts, but as values that we can experience together.
We are not looking for professional artists.
If уou love painting, singing, dancing or creating something with your own hands – come and join us. And if you have not yet discovered your art, perhaps this is exactly where you will find it.
You matter. Your talent deserves to be seen!
