Social Logo

We promote socially engaged arts by connecting social, educational and artistic fields at the national and international level. We are proud to have carried out numerous projects all aiming to explore innovative ways of social inclusion and contribute to social transformation through the language of arts. In the last few years, our main focus has been on underprivileged youth. Our aim is to give these young people a chance to step out of their tight realities and meet new people, concepts and methods. For this end, we participate in the creation of international youth worker exchanges,  such as our Academy for Actors of Civil Change project, strategic partnerships for youth such as ACADEMY+, and socially engaged Creative Europe projects such as What’SAP, as well as online conferences such as the @cademy Conference. Our mission under this pillar is to change the perception on Social Art Practices and consolidate it as a profession in Europe and beyond.

Anna Némethné Molnár – cultural manager, Head and Heart of PP Social

Throughout my studies (history – geography teacher, environmental educator, cultural manager) and my previous work, I have always had a special interest in interdisciplinary fields and different ways of transferring knowledge and skills. I attach great importance to the impact of the arts on individuals and communities and their role in society, as well as their function as a specific means of linking and triggering social, environmental and economic entities.

Dóra Laczkó – project manager

I have always tried to understand the world through people. I think that this approach to life is what Scouting has given me. During my studies, I also tried to satisfy this people-centred curiosity, so I studied cultural community organisation and then cultural anthropology in my master’s degree. I think the projects of the social pillar closely align with my personal values, I believe we are most concerned with socially engaged and socially sensitive art.

Its aim is to further develop the methods used by them in their daily work through joint brainstorming, testing and regular feedback, and to make the creative development of disadvantaged young people even more effective by coordinating and combining the four methods.

Play! MOBILE

Play! MOBILE aimed to encourage cultural participation in the micro regions of Europe. We believe that community art practice, the creation of modifiable site-specific installations and the development of a participatory game as a platform for interaction between artist-artifact and public, offers a sophisticated and inclusive way for capacity building and the development of new audiences. By turning public spaces of the visited settlements into playgrounds of contemporary art, we aimed to create an alternative way of cultural consumption, a methodology to present contemporary artworks without the necessity of having all the satisfactory infrastructure.
