About the Project
“Different, but Together – Artivism for Equality, Human Dignity and Solidarity” (PACT/129) is an initiative that uses the power of art as a tool for social change, active participation and overcoming isolation.
The project promotes European values – human dignity, equality, freedom, tolerance, solidarity and inclusion – through the active participation of young people, including young people with disabilities.
At the heart of the initiative is artivism – the intersection of art and civic engagement. Through creativity, sharing and meaningful experiences together, young people are given a space to express themselves, build new friendships and become visible as active participants and creators – people with their own voices, ideas and talents.
Our goal is to support young people with disabilities in moving beyond social isolation and to create more opportunities for them to connect, create, be visible and participate fully in community life.

The project includes five interconnected activities:
Expected Results
The expected result is not simply the creation of artworks, but greater participation, visibility and a stronger sense of belonging for young people with disabilities.
Through creativity, the project creates opportunities for new encounters, friendships, self-expression and participation in community life. Young people with disabilities are not presented merely as recipients of support, but as active creators and ambassadors of the values of equality and human dignity.
Through the activities in Varna and Burgas and the online platform, the project will also reach a wider audience, promoting acceptance of diversity, equality and active participation.
