Over ten days, the space was transformed into a vibrant environment of learning, exchange, and artistic collaboration.
Through shared workshops, creative experimentation, and moments of collective reflection, participants connected across disciplines and cultural backgrounds. They explored new artistic practices, learned from one another’s experiences, and developed the skills and confidence needed to work as peer coaches, using art to foster participation, community building, and social change.
RRPCA 2.0 is implemented by a consortium of organisations from the ROOTS & ROUTES network, committed to training a new generation of socially engaged artists and youth workers.
The project is led by ROOTS & ROUTES Cologne e.V. in partnership with Synergy of Music Theatre (Larissa, Greece), Streetdance Center (Salzburg, Austria), Kaunas Cultural Centre of Various Nations (Kaunas, Lithuania), Subjective Values Foundation (Budapest, Hungary), Empreinte (Lille, France), and Centro di Creazione e Cultura (Florence, Italy).

In August 2025, SYNERGEIO Culture Space in Larissa became a meeting point for young artists from across Europe as they came together for the Roots & Routes Peer Coach Academy 2.0, hosted by SMouTh.
