Supported by the Erasmus+ programme, ROOTS & ROUTES Peer Coach Academy 2.0 aims to prepare young artists to support their peers as peer coaches – through creative tools, collective artistic work, and community-building. Both in local and international contexts.
The project creates a complex training programme where artistic tools serve pedagogical and community development goals, while participants also acquire practical project planning knowledge. The training is implemented through international seminars, hands-on fieldwork, and online courses, involving 7 countries.
During the training, participants gain practical knowledge and tools that support them in launching their own community and artistic projects in the future. They also become part of an international support network that provides long-term inspiration and professional connections. At the end of the project, a practice-oriented handbook will be developed, which can also be used by youth and cultural organisations in their work.
