Programme:
Two week-long training in the summer (07-22 July, Vác, Metropolitan Area Budapest, Hungary): Academy for Actors of Social Change focusing on Artivism
The Summer Academy is a 14-day long training program in the framework of Artivism. The program aims to develop the skills and competences of professionals working in the fields of youth education, social care and the creative fields.
This year’s Academy is an international camp that brings together artists, educators, youth workers, facilitators, community organisers and activists who believe in the power of art to achieve social change or who are eager to learn how art-making can empower communities and individuals. Centred around the concept of Artivism—the fusion of art and activism—the camp will explore how performative arts and creative practices can be powerful tools for promoting the three main themes of the Academy listed below.
The program encompasses three main themes:
- social inclusion
- gender equality
- environmental consciousness
These topics will be explored through three workshops emphasising co-creation, reflection and social engagement while developing skills in participatory artistic methods. The Academy offers an immersive experience of practising inclusion in facilitating the agency of those whose voices need to be heard. Each three-day workshop will culminate in a collaborative showcase of activist performances, transitioning from self-expression towards action.
