Golden Wheel: Using Creative Industry and Applied Arts to Establish New Skills and Increase Employability of Youth with Disabilities
August 2023 – May 2024
About the Project
Golden Wheel is a multidisciplinary project realized between two partners from Austria and Turkey aiming at promoting creativity and applied arts as tools for work therapy and means for expressing oneself.
By enabling young people with disabilities to work on their talents and produce distinctive works of art while at the same time equipping them with new skills, the Golden Wheel Project aims to secure wide visibility of the challenges the main target group is encountering. In addition to this, the Project offers (as one of the outputs) new and creative ways to fight the unemployment of this vulnerable group by equipping them with new and easily adaptable skills that will help their independence and independent living.
Glass flameworking gives endless possibilities for artistic work and creative thinking and offers a new perspective to look at craftsmanship.
