OUTART

OUTART is a project based on the idea of using Outsider Art photography as a way to empower disadvantaged or disabled young people. Outsider Art breaks boundaries set by formal education or training and encourages personal freedom of expression. Photography is a way for you to dream and gives you the opportunity to develop personal strengths through a creative experience. Art is another form of language and way of communicating which increases the possibilities and methods of self-expression. Art can be therapeutic and enhance your physical mental and emotional well-being by promoting self-reflection, expression and exploration. Non-formal education through art works towards both gaining photography skills and in reducing social inequality through active citizenship and opening communication possibilities.
