mural artwork project is a beautiful option to share ideas within the community, make art for social transformation visible and strengthen local relationships. Art is a universal language that knows no limits. You can also create a mural with the help of the artist “virtually”, i.e. connected online and able to give instructions to the group of participants on the other side on how to paint, based on the projected black and white image on the wall, similar to “paint by numbers” paintings, but this time on larger scale and with multiple painters co-creating the masterpiece simultaneously.

Activities based on the Theatre of The Oppressed methods and Verbatim activity. It is a process of creating a 15-20 minutes theatre piece on the topic, ending with the state of gravity, which the participants are trying to change. This activity steps on different theatrical approaches. One of those being theatre of the oppressed and the other – verbatim theatre.
The first form of theatre steps on the idea of developing reaction and intervention impulses against all types of oppression promoted by the theatre of the oppressed. Theatre of the oppressed opens the possibility for dialogue by turning the spectators into spect-actors – able to step in at any point and influence the way the play is evolving. Here one group (from country A) can do scenes with local problems, share those with other groups and get proposals for solutions or changes, considered from a different perspective – played out as a drama piece.
The second form of theatre – verbatim – gives a voice to those who feel not confident to speak and brings to light stories that are harder to share. Verbatim can include activities with recording one’s stories and sharing those with another person, allowing them the opportunity to tell them as if they are theirs.

Food is a big component of people’s cultural identity. It is a part of who they are and how they connect to their cultural or ethnic group that they belong to. Especially for people with a migrant and refugee background, food acts as a way to retain their culture. Sharing the national cuisine with people from other countries contributes to sharing the national culture. Moreover, intercultural communication through food leads to enriching the relationship with other people, beyond the national borders. Before the online cooking class, a preparatory stage is needed.

Singing a song together is an activity that allows participants to sing the same song individually, but present it as a collective outcome, in audio and video formats. It is a collage of several individuals singing and playing the same music. Here they have the opportunity to choose a song, sing and play it, present their musical skills, and the instruments they play. Moreover, participants can dance or do any physical/performative activity connected to the music and the song.
Singing and sharing the same song among participants can help to find links between them beyond the national borders. Very often they know the same or similar popular tunes.

Participating groups present and learn about each other's homes and everyday lives through video recordings. Videos, made by participants, may present an impression of their everyday life in the city or village they live in, the most interesting buildings or landmarks, how they get to school, university or their community centre, what they typically do in their free time, and, if applicable, they can give a short insight on how they practice with their artistic group.
