“Culture, Art, and Sustainability for Inclusion” Workshops

Workshop objectives

• Facilitate cultural adaptation through architectural exploration.
• Empower personal narratives using digital storytelling and AI.
• Promote sustainable lifestyles and professional visions for a greener future.

1. From Stone to Art – Austrian Architectural Culture

Participants explored the “From Stone to Art” concept by studying landmarks like Schönbrunn Palace and St. Stephen’s Cathedral. The methodology involved “comparative mapping,” where youth associated Austrian landmarks with symbolic buildings from their own cultures. The session concluded with a creative coloring activity where participants “re-imagined” Vienna’s architecture through the dominant colors of their homelands.

1. Digital Storytelling with Gemini Storybook

This session emphasized the “Digital Voice.” Under the guidance of the facilitation team, participants engaged in group discussions regarding European citizenship and integration. Using the Gemini Storybook platform, they created scripts and generated AI-supported visuals, resulting in unique digital storybooks that document their integration journeys.

1. Green Entrepreneurship & Natural Cosmetics

The “Green Entrepreneurship” segment focused on conscious consumption. Participants analyzed the chemical composition of commercial products and explored healthier, handmade alternatives. The training went beyond production, covering the challenges posed by climate change and how “Circular Economy” models can be applied to small-scale entrepreneurial projects.
