The Big Green
-
The Big Green is a collaborative project supported by the EU Programme Creative Europe, bringing together 23 organizations from across the fields of science and the arts. The initiative is grounded in the belief that culture can act as a catalyst for social change. In this context, the cultural and creative sectors are seen as key players in responding to environmental challenges—by helping to mitigate negative impacts or inspire positive transformation. There is a growing understanding that culture holds untapped potential in building a more sustainable future. All project partners share the view that while the cultural and creative sectors are ready to engage, they often lack the necessary tools and knowledge to contribute effectively within current systems.

The Book of Dreaming. Integration of Ukrainian children with refugee experience through art
The Book of Dreaming has its roots in the current social situation of participating countries that are coping with the integration process of Ukrainian children. The project aims to strengthen the integration through art activities and focuses on activities in 4 partner countries: Poland (Wrocław), Latvia (Riga/Ludza), Hungary (Budapest) and Ukraine (Lviv). It involves implementing an artistic program ‘The Book of Your City’, authored and curated by Andy Field & Beckie Darlington. Their methodology, tested before in other cities, will be conducted in children groups in all mentioned cities.
The project will allow testing of the existing practice in new conditions – part of Europe which is facing the war situation and refugee moves. Workshops for Ukrainian children focusing on the city and public space, book-making and special launching events for the general audience are the activities planned for this part of the project.
The second element of the project is aimed at the exchange of knowledge and experiences between specialists in the field of children’s integration through art in the situation of the migration crisis. Activities regarding the theme of integration and accessibility will be organized by partner institutions and will result in two toolboxes – accumulating knowledge, good examples and inspiration in the field of culture. All effects will be shared widely in case of similar situations in other parts of Europe. An important aim of the project is the dissemination of the results to the children and their relatives, as well as to the authorities and local governments as strategies and solutions for times of crisis.

- Festival SPA
-
EU Programme Creative Europe project Festival SPA joins together three arts organizations with renowned, vibrant, summer contemporary performing arts festivals: Santarcangelo festival (IT), Mladi levi festival (SI) and Homo Novus festival (LV).
These festivals have a tradition of care for the wellbeing of artists and cultural workers and have already paved ways of reaching out to audiences and making festivals welcoming spaces. We want to develop the framework within festivals to further contribute to improving mental health, wellbeing and social inclusion of festival workers and audiences. We will create safe, soft, slow spaces and conditions that will nurture the people working for the festivals and all the audiences in order to be able to savor art slowly and improve our living.
