The project “Youth for youth” aimed at directly involving Documenta’s interns and volunteers in the planning, dissemination, organization, and evaluation of a workshop. Between December 2024 and April 2025, eight volunteers organized a total of seven workshops. The group included three volunteers from Croatia, two from Italy, onefrom Germany, onefrom the Netherlands, and one from Spain. All workshops were based on the methods of non-formal education and peer to peer learning. They explored topics connected to culture of memory, human rights, and history, and involved young people and students.

The volunteers played a central role in every phase of the project, ensuring the activities were genuinely peer-to-peer in nature. After an initial presentation of the project and discussion with Documenta’s team, the involved volunteers had the task to start brainstorming about possible topics they would be interested in exploring, and methodologies they see suitable. Documenta provided guidance and support throughout the process, offering existing materials and examples.

Once selected a few topics and methods they were interested in, the volunteers discussed with Documenta’s team their ideas, and started designing the structure of the workshop in detail. As they decided the date and time to hold their workshop, the involved volunteers created both visual and written content for online promotion – a process that gave them additional insights into questions of visual identity and public outreach.

Following the workshops, the volunteers also produced short videos to reflect on and share their experiences. In these videos, they discussed the topics they addressed, the process they followed, and the impact the workshops had on them personally and as a group. All videos are available at:
