YouCreate is an initiative of Terre des hommes, and was designed and carried out in partnership with the International Institute for Child Rights and Development. YouCreate is a PAR Project aimed to train youth leaders, with the support of Adult Allies and the ‘Art-kit’ (training manual), to lead their peers in implementing participatory arts-based research projects and ‘Art Actions’ - arts-based activities designed to address issues of significance to youth in their community. Youth are trained to map and explore significant community issues and challenges and to collaboratively select challenges to address in their communities through design and implementation of ‘Art Actions’.

With the objectives of strengthening wellbeing, resilience, and leadership among youth, YouCreate has been positively impacting youth. YouCreate has been carried out in Iraq and Egypt and is expanding to other countries and regions (Ukraine & Greece). This PAR project has been breaking down barriers between youth, their families and communities who are coming together with a common purpose of strengthening wellbeing through the arts.

We invite you to start by looking through the following core documents below:

  • YouCreate Art-kit: The Art-kit is a guide that youth leaders can use for planning and leading activities and provides tips and tricks for supporting youthleaders work.
  • YouCreate Project Management Guide: The YouCreate Project Guide was designed to help project staff to understand the YouCreate project and how they can support youth and colleagues to develop a strong project.
  • YouCreate Capitalization Report: This report provides important background information on the current
    state of arts-based programming for young people impacted by migration and adversity worldwide.

You can also find an e-learning course that will walk you through a basic introduction of this innovative youth-led arts-based Participatory Action Research Project (PAR), YouCreate. The course is available in French and Arabic as well.
