About RurArt

RurArt empowers young people and communities in rural areas through storytelling and art. The project brings together youth workers, artists, and community leaders to explore creative tools for community engagement, social inclusion, and cultural promotion.

The main activity is a 7-day educational training in Solsona, Spain, followed by a local art festival and follow-up projects in participants’ communities.

RurArt focuses on using storytelling, artivism, critical thinking, and non-violent communication to strengthen rural communities and combat stigmatization of rural youth.
