How can visual arts transform society and promote inclusivity among youth? What role can creative expression play in dismantling social barriers and fostering tolerance? This initiative strives to address injustice and enable young people from diverse backgrounds, including migrants, to actively participate in society, culturally and socially, through creative expression. By leveraging the arts, ABT facilitates intercultural dialogue, enhances cultural diversity, and supports the professional development of those working with youth to tackle issues such as racism and xenophobia, thus empowering young individuals - particularly those at risk of marginalisation.

How can we empower professionals who work with vulnerable youth affected by mental health conditions? Our initiative offers continuous support to beneficiaries, even during uncertain times, lockdowns and quarantine situations, by providing them with the necessary tools and enhancing their skills in digital art therapy. The project also aims to promote the use of creativity and art practices in encouraging mental well-being among young people through a comprehensive guide and to raise awareness about the impact of COVID-19 on youth with mental health conditions using an awareness-raising toolkit.

How do we support and advance theatre and its people in the post-COVID era? We believe that by equipping both professionals and non-professionals with the necessary digital tools to transform their artistic endeavours and transition their skills we can make a difference. For this initiative, our commitment expands to the creation of an online community where creativity can flourish. We blend traditional theatrical techniques with modern digital solutions to create an inclusive, accessible, diverse and forward-thinking theatrical environment. This way, we ensure resilience and continuity in the arts.

How can we address the climate crisis and inspire change through the arts? This initiative aspires to transform young artists into entrepreneurial green actors of change by providing them with enhanced digital art therapy tools. We have established a cross-cultural network for collaboration and co-creation, tailored to the specific needs of youth and art professionals and strive to bridge theory and practice, fostering creative methods, and stimulating cross-cultural engagement towards a sustainable tomorrow and a greener future.

How can we boost employability and prepare educators and students alike for the modern digital landscape? Can we reshape art education by integrating digital art into traditional teaching methods at art schools? Our initiative enhances art educators' skills when it comes to digital and trans-disciplinary approaches, enabling them to deliver cutting-edge curricula. We offer a short-duration course on digital art basics, leading to micro-credentials, alongside a pedagogical framework for core and elective courses, thus fulfilling the evolving demands of the art and labour markets.

How can we enhance youth workers' abilities to support cultural and creative entrepreneurship? This initiative empowers NEET (Not in Employment, Education, or Training) individuals by fostering their creativity and entrepreneurial skills through a non-formal learning ecosystem and motivating them to transform innovative ideas into viable business ventures within the cultural sector. A comprehensive course, available in six languages and piloted across five European countries, alongside a digital handbook and scrapbook, inspires young minds equipping them for success in the creative economy.

How can we develop local cultural leaders, integrate arts into community development, and facilitate dialogue, creativity, and collaboration among local communities? This initiative aims to put culture to use, utilising it as a catalyst for social cohesion, inclusivity, and well-being. This project strives to enhance the social inclusion of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds - including those with disabilities, migrant backgrounds, and minority groups, using artistic creation as a transformative tool.

How can we integrate marginalised groups into educational settings, providing them with the necessary tools to feel empowered and engaged? This initiative leverages visual arts to foster inclusive and equal learning environments, targeting young people who are often overlooked. Thanks to a specialised curriculum for professionals working with youth having Down Syndrome (DS) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), an "Express Yourself" e-learning platform, and a carefully made digital toolkit, we facilitate artistic expression and social entrepreneurship among young people with mental health challenges and disabilities.

Can we confront unique climate-related challenges through art? How can we foster significant, enduring change through socially engaged methods? This initiative is dedicated to leveraging art and culture as transformative tools for addressing climate change and building sustainable communities. Focused on waterfront regions, which are particularly vulnerable to environmental challenges, we aim to empower local communities, give a voice to the people, and co-create art, raising awareness for climate issues.

How can we empower elderly visual artists to address climate change and influence environmentally friendly habit adoption among elderly individuals? Climate change is a pressing global issue, and interestingly, the growing ageing population, which is projected to comprise 21.1% of the global population by 2050, is among the highest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Despite this, climate action does not resonate with older individuals often, due to challenges like social isolation, health concerns, and limited mobility. This initiative recognises the potential of older adults, particularly those aged 65+ and residing in Europe, to drive environmental awareness and action.

Exploring Green Futures centers on the creation and implementation of Micro-Credential courses and integrated workshops tailored for the Art & Design fields within Higher Education (HE). These courses are designed in collaboration with industry stakeholders, ensuring alignment with the skills required for the green transition. The primary objectives include enhancing students' employability, fostering behavioral change, influencing consumption habits, and shaping sustainable lifestyles, both personally and in future professional endeavors.

How can we foster inclusion and enhance the well-being of the elderly through creativity? How can we help with stress relief and improved human interactions within healthcare environments? This initiative redefines participatory arts programmes for older persons in healthcare settings and focuses on intergenerational and participatory art practices that actively involve older individuals, not just as observers but as participants. By developing and providing comprehensive vocational education and training for professionals in hospitals, day-care centres, and residential care homes, we aim to enhance the professional ability to deliver effective, evidence-based art programmes.
