CARGOTOPIA 2008-09_To do it without

In May 2008 “Cargotopia” Year 1 started in the form of a socio-cultural sea gathering exchange on the vintage sailing cargo ship “Estelle” in the north of Europe-Finland. On board were youngsters, artists, seafarers and youth-social workers. Sea life, art, culture, experience and information were transported.

In July 2008 The first meeting of Estelle, Café Libertad and Cargotopia, was hold in Hamburg Germany, themes like Fair Trade, self susteinability, solidarity, socio-political activism were brought up on a campain to promote actions from this kind.

In October 2008 In Portugal, the project will call in at the port of Gaia (Porto), offering “Cargotopia” as a socio-cultural platform for workshops, festival and other local initiatives.
Our aim this year is to keep on the research we’ve been making about themes like fair trade, social art, navigation and self-sustainability.

We organized a tree days festival on 17, 18 and 19 October 2008 in the city of Gaia-Porto on the north of Portugal, were youngsters, citizens, artists, pedagogues, social and political activists, will gather their creativity, ideas and statements on a social multicultural exchange.
We also aimed to welcome new partners to get active on Cargotopia platform.

The participation of Portuguese young people was possible through the collaboration of a number of social institutions.
Through this project the young people were supported in their efforts to re-integrate into society after time spent in difficult situations. As shown through a great number of previous sailing and art projects of this kind, the experience of sharing responsibility in the community of the will provide the young people with a hugely important educational opportunity.
