Paint the Change was created in 2015 to bring social action and street art together. We have produced more than 100 murals around the world, on every continent, working with communities in multiple languages and engaging millions of people with our unique mix of youth engagement, public art and public awareness campaigns.

Youth Art for the Earth is a collaboration of cultural organisations, across Europe, working on a programme to engage young people in articulating messages and co-creating artwork about social responsibility and environmental sustainability.

The project follows a successful Creative Europe project called Paint the Change which saw educational workshops and murals produced to discuss European Union values such as inclusion, diversity, environmental stewardship and social cohesion.

The focus of the new Youth Art for the Earth project is on older teenagers from disadvantaged and marginalised communities. Our objective is to help them find a voice and a sense of agency in tackling issues of environmental sustainability, by building their creative and critical thinking skills, and by engaging them with public art.

Four key tracks of work will help us to achieve this goal.

Involving educators and street artists in piloting an innovative programme.
Engaging up to 120 young participants in highly interactive workshops that build creative and critical thinking skills.
Delivering six pieces of public art through a co-creative process for the benefit of local communities.
Amplifying workshop discussions through film and digital media.

New and environmentally conscious materials, technologies and techniques, such as carbon-absorbing paint, will be used whenever possible in this project.
