From April 22–28, 2025, Beyond Barriers Association (BBA) was proudly represented by Serxho and Eida at the international training course Art for Earth in Marseille, France, organized by Eurasia Net.

This Erasmus+ training brought together youth and youth workers from 10 different countries for an inspiring week of non-formal education, environmental awareness, and creative expression. The programme focused on how art can be used as a tool for sustainability, community engagement, and youth empowerment.

Throughout the week, participants engaged in workshops on eco-art, recycling and upcycling practices, collaborative murals, and other forms of creative activism. They also had the opportunity to share their cultural backgrounds and professional experiences, building strong connections and laying the groundwork for future collaboration.

The training emphasized how young people can take action for the planet through artistic initiatives and fostered a sense of collective responsibility in promoting environmental values. BBA’s representatives brought their energy, creativity, and commitment to inclusion and sustainability to the experience, contributing to a dynamic and diverse learning environment.

We thank Eurasia Net for the warm hospitality and excellent coordination, and look forward to applying the knowledge and methods gained through this experience in our future youth work initiatives in Albania.
