Project description:
Through the New VIE – Visual Innovative Education we would like to deliver the techniques of Graphic Recording and other creative methods for promotion and visibility of projects in youth work and also how to use it for Project evaluation and reporting phases. In fact we believe that this is a great tool to make the youth work’s influence more powerful, visible and understandable, and to empower and involve more youngsters, especially youth with fewer opportunities.
ArmActive Youth Center, Armenia and Associazione Going to Europe, Italy are the main organizers in charge of this project implementation at all stages.
The project is funded by the Italian National Agency (Agenzia Nazionale Giovani), through the European Programme Erasmus+ / Youth (KA1 – Mobility of Youth Workers).

- To develop participants’ skills in graphic recording and visual thinking and other creative techniques;
- To support involvement of youngsters with fewer opportunities within youth activities (visual support for deaf people etc.);
Issues we would like to address though this project:
