Design thinking sessions will be used to boost the capacity of the people involved to be creative. At the same time, through a participatory educational itinerary, the participants will learn some bases on audiovisual and virtual reality techniques to encourage artistic works that are capable of express, through creative images, the emotional state of young people involved in the project.
