As part of the STAR 2.0 project, a series of national surveys were conducted in Italy, Ukraine, Portugal, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands. These surveys aimed to assess youth workers’ perspectives on street art, their competencies in using it for community engagement, and the key areas where further training is needed.

MAKING AN IMPACT THROUGH STREET ART: STAR 2.0

Through the STAR 2.0 project, we harness the power of street art to connect and empower marginalized youth, giving them opportunities to express themselves within their communities and beyond. More
