About the project 

Project „ European partnership for the development of skills and social inclusion through creativity and arts” 
was implemented as part of the Partnerships for Creativity under the frame of the Erasmus+ program in the adult education sector.

This implementation of this project supported the fight against social exclusion of marginalized people (people with disabilities, seniors, migrants), especially during and after the pandemic. Our main tool in this fight was art and culture. Sometimes only various art forms (music, art, dance, theater) are able to open up people with emotional or psychological problems. The pandemic period has made it very difficult for people from marginalized groups access to culture and art, as well as their active participation in its creation.

As part of this project, we trained educators to be able to show people from groups at risk of marginalization the path to active and creative participation in culture and art, and thus in society and reduce their sense of social exclusion.

Aims of the project:

• reduce social exclusion of and develop their key competences

• increase access to culture and arts for people with risk of marginalization

• cooperation and exchange of experiences among  educators from partners institutions working with people at risk of marginalization

• improve the professional competences of educators from partner institutions working with people at risk of exclusion
