Art & Protest - Bootcamp

EUth is doing a Workshop zu Art & Protest!

Due date: 29. July 2026
EUth is organising a four-day boot camp at Forchtenstein Castle exploring the connection between art, politics and activism. Young people aged 18 to 30 are invited to discover creative methods, develop their own forms of expression and reflect on the role of art in political contexts. Through workshops on photography, protest art, visual communication and propaganda, participants will explore new perspectives and ways to make socially relevant issues visible.
Are you interested in art or politics? Would you like to take part in a boot camp at Forchtenstein Castle and connect with other young people? Discover new creative ways to express the issues that matter most to you.

Aim of the Bootcamp:
On the one hand, participants will learn how to use art as a tool for their own activism; on the other hand, they will explore in greater depth the role of art in maintaining and shaping systems of power.

Unfortunately, places are limited (20 spots available), so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

Planned programme*:

  • Four days at Forchtenstein Castle in Styria (accommodation, meals and travel costs are covered)
  • Exploring and deepening participants’ own political or activist interests
  • Photography as a means of expression and communication
  • Creating protest posters and banners
  • Methods for spreading your message: buttons, stickers and memes
  • Workshop on the topic of propaganda
*As the programme is still being developed, changes may be made and the final schedule may differ.

This call for applications is part of an Erasmus+ project and is co-funded by the European Union.
