Description

The project “Art for Local Innovation (Art is Us)” is a two-year project co-funded by the European Union under the ERASMUS+ KA227 “Partnerships for Creativity” programme (Agreement Number: 2020-1-SI01-KA227-ADU-093618).

Art is Us project aims to use the transformative force of culture for community regeneration to respond to the severe impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had both on artists and the cultural sector and on social inclusion and cohesion.

It equips artists, community leaders and art educators with key skills and competences for a sustainable creative career and provides them with the opportunity to be successful innovators in their communities. It enhances social inclusion by fostering innovative, arts-based participatory and intercultural dialogue approaches.

The project effectively uses the strong experience of all its consortium members in socially engaged arts teaching and content development, e-learning and multimedia, community arts initiatives and career guidance and skills development to design and develop a high-quality adults education course on Innovative Community Development.

The learning content is designed primarily for nonprofessional artists, community leaders and art educators to become successful innovators in their communities.

The aim of the 4 courses is to equip learners to develop ideas, projects and businesses aimed towards encouraging social inclusion by fostering innovative, arts-based participatory and intercultural dialogue approaches.
