In this seminar the participants coming from Poland, Northern Ireland, Portugal, Bulgaria, Turkey and Germany explore the rather new method "Upcycling" and its potential for youth work with a special focus on the work with disadvantaged young people, intergenerational and intercultural work. During the seminar participants will get to know and discuss practical examples of working with this method, collect material for a later publication and plan further common projects. The seminar is part of a longer-term strategy for the use of creative methods in youth work, which in a next step shall be followed up with a publication on the topic.
