The Cohesion Remix partners met in Thessaloniki to officially launch the project and lay the groundwork for the months ahead. The meeting marked the beginning of a collaborative effort to engage young people in Romania, Cyprus, Spain and Greece and explore the issues shaping Europe’s future through creative digital storytelling.
Hosted by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) on 7 and 8 September 2026, the two-day kick-off brought together the four consortium members: IPAZIA Production (Romania), InnoEUsphere (Cyprus), INMEDIA Solutions (Spain) and AUTH’s M3C Research Group (Greece). Together, they combine expertise in cultural cooperation, education and training, communication and research to deliver the project.
Partners reviewed the project’s goal: to empower young Europeans to create, remix and share multimedia content that makes EU Cohesion Policy more visible, understandable and relatable. The project follows five stages: Recruit, Train, Produce, Engage and Amplify. Over the next twelve months, it will:
- train 60–80 young creators through the Skill-Up Academy and its “Mix the Message” Open Call;
- produce 25–30 youth-generated multimedia outputs in the Mix Studios;
- bring communities together through Cohesion Circles and pop-up events across the four countries;
- present the results on the Cohesion Remix Hub, reaching at least 1,000,000 impressions.
The partners also agreed on how they will work together, including monthly online meetings, shared digital tools and clear reporting arrangements. They also discussed visibility, ethics, accessibility, data protection and inclusiveness, which will guide every activity of the project.
With the partners aligned and the work plan in place, the first activities are already underway, starting with the preparation of the Skill-Up Academy and the launch of the Open Call for young creators. Stay tuned for more news!
