Artist of my life is an international camp where the participants are sharing an unforgetable experience together for nine days. The camp is located in the beautiful area of the lake Tuusulanjärvi. Young people from ten different cuontries will meet each other and explore the themes of creativity and entrepreneurship learning trough diffenrent kind of hands on activities. The participants build up a camp community together where we eat, prepare food, sleep in tents, dance and sing together, getting to know each other and our cultures on a deeper level. Our 60 participants are coming from ten different countries with their group leaders. The idea for the project came trough local group of young people. We wanted to organize an international camp around the themes of creativity and entrepreneurship and invite other groups from different countries for a learning experience together. Participating countries are Finland, Macedonia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Malta, Spain, Italy, Poland, Lithuania and Turkey. Every group has been part of the planning of the program that is going to be put into practice by the young people themselves. The finnish participants are local young people who are experienced in camp organizing and outdoor activities. Other participating countries have also some experience in outdoor living and groupwork. Some groups have done also previous work with art and culture. All the participants have their own active group in their own countries. We are implementing different kind of art projects from the idea to the practice at the camp. We will learn about ourselves and our abilities trough group work. We will design together a flash mob in the local town, play a roleplay to understand the position of a immigrants and we`ll create art pieces for the camp area and both to take with us home. Project is a learning path for the people participating. It offers practical skills to develop yourself, your own creativity and potential, you will get courage to take your own ideas to practice and get skills to work with different kind of people. The participants will get trough experience important skills for life that will show in their own surroundings and communities as new skills and ability to take initiative.
