DESIRE
Empowerment through body movement and gender identity
Desire is a youth exchange exploring gender, identity, and desire through dance, embodiment, and art. Bringing together 35 young people from 7 countries, it creates inclusive spaces for self-expression, challenges stereotypes, and sparks dialogue on gender equality and LGBTQIA+ rights.
