A series of international student exhibitions across Europe are raising awareness about bullying through creativity and collaboration as part of the Erasmus+ project “CREATE – Care, React, Engage, and Act Tenaciously for a Healthy World.”
One of the exhibitions, titled “The Mirror of Emotions,” was hosted at the Satu Mare County Museum in Romania. It featured posters, paintings, and digital artworks created by students from Romania, the Czech Republic, Italy, Lithuania, Slovakia, and Spain. In total, the exhibition included 18 posters and several additional artistic works, developed during collaborative workshops that explored emotions and the impact of bullying.
Complementing this initiative, the exhibition “Diversity Strengthens, Bullying Weakens: United Against Hate” was presented at the Kulautuva Library. It showcased the same 18 digitally created posters and 3 hand-painted works by students, promoting inclusion, tolerance, and solidarity. The exhibition was visited by students, teachers, and members of the local community, serving as an educational space for discussion on bullying prevention.
Similar exhibitions were organized in partner countries. In Slovakia, the exhibition took place at the Hotel Štadión in Košice, presenting student poster displays. In Italy, exhibitions of works created during the international workshop were shown to the public. In the Czech Republic, student-created materials were displayed in school and community spaces. In Spain, an anti-bullying exhibition was inaugurated at the municipal library of Algemesí and complemented by visits to see how they restore books over 200 years old, photos and works of art affected by the floods of last October
Through these exhibitions, the project encourages young people to actively engage in preventing bullying, strengthens international cooperation, and promotes empathy and understanding. By combining artistic expression with social awareness, the initiative demonstrates how collaboration can help build safer and more inclusive communities.
