The Big Green greets with discussions on sustainable and creative leadership
The Big Green -project partners met in beautiful Slovenia to experience, think, learn and co-create what sustainable and creative leadership really is about. We spent 4,5 days together as a group, exploring, appreciating and enjoying the beautiful local nature and environment in Slovenian I’Julian Alps, on the edge of Triglav National Park in Bohinjska Bistrica. We built our way to the theme by discussing practical, theoretical and experience-based ways to understand what sustainable leadership means to us as individuals, members of different communities, projects or other consortia as well as citizens of Europe, and the world.
A long journey of the Green E.Th.I.Cs Project – Green Experience Through Theatre Inspiring Communities
The partners of the Green E.Th.I.Cs project began this journey together nearly three years ago. During this time, each of us has dedicated countless hours to imagining, writing, rehearsing, and preparing for the final presentations and games. We’ve also worked to spread the message of our project: the urgent need to combat climate change. Each artistic partner of the Green E.Th.I.Cs project is preparing a similar performance based on the same model and with the same goal: raising awareness among different groups of people about climate change through theater and a game like the “Goose Game.” Financed by the European Union, there are eighteen artistic groups from twelve European nations participating in this initiative. Over the next few months, each of these groups begins to present their final performances and games to children and adults, in both indoor and outdoor spaces, across different countries in Europe. In this edition, we’ll be sharing some of these experiences. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Musical Walls – The Sound of Erzsébetváros: Interactive Sound Installations at 7 Sites in the 7th District
The Musical Walls project is a unique interactive sound installation guiding us through the rich musical past and vibrant present of Erzsébetváros, across various sites in Budapest’s 7th District. The aim of this project is to bring residents and visitors closer to the district’s musical heritage through public artworks, linking past and present in harmony. For this purpose, the renowned art collective, Metrum Ensemble, has been chosen as the creative force. Since their debut in 2012, Metrum Ensemble has been a distinctive presence in Hungarian music, reviving the memories of Erzsébetváros through their unique artistic vision, with a special focus on Jewish traditions, cabarets, and coffeehouse music, as well as the district’s working-class and religious musical heritage. Through interactive Sounding Memorials this rich legacy becomes accessible to all, with QR codes allowing people to acces to the curated musical selections on their mobile devices.
LeCAKE Train – Ending a project with many new beginnings
LeCAKE: Common Art Knowledge Europe was a project supported by Erasmus+ that focused on the role of the cultural sector in the ecological transition. Running for two years, from October 2022 – October 2024, the project united seven cultural organisations and a think tank to build a common base of knowledge, skills and resources. The project had four phases, moving from knowledge-creation towards hands-on, practical models, methods and tools. Máté Tenke, former project manager and head of sustainability team at Pro Progressione share with us his experiences of the project:
“I actually have more freedom to make choice with a flat screen” – interview with Vânia Gala, the Artistic Anchor of the Manifest project, about her experience in Nantes and the use of XR
The multimedia exhibition in Nantes marked the grand finale of the Manifest project, showcasing the culmination of two years of artistic work across a wide range of media—from traditional genres like painting to intermedia installations and XR technology. The exhibition, which ran from September 19 to October 6 at l’Atelier in Nantes, attracted over 2,000 visitors and was accompanied by various programs, including panel discussions, workshops, and school visits.
The exhibition aimed to offer an innovative perspective on the history and legacies of the transatlantic slave trade, placing art at the centre of evoking memories and exploring these legacies. Through the works presented, the twenty-two artists of Manifest sought to reconcile both individual and collective memories, ensuring they are preserved from being forgotten. We spoke with Vânia Gala, the Artistic Anchor of the Manifest project, about her experience in Nantes and the use of XR as one of the central mediums in the exhibition, exploring both its limitations and possibilities in shaping the presented artworks.
TBG Food for Thought: ‘the world must develop sustainably if we are all to survive’
With our flagship project, The Big Green, we are bringing environmentally-engaged artists under one large-scale umbrella initiative and experiment with innovative ways of using art to promote sustainability. But what does it mean for us on a personal level? We asked our partners to write us a few lines about what art and sustainability and their relationship mean to them. Now, let us share the thoughts of Simana Markovska (Interpret Europe):
