Kick off ART OF FREEDOM project

Another exiting project kicking off. In the project “ART OF FREEDOM” we will work with partners from the UK, Hungary, Spain and Poland. The lead partner is the Croatian Association of Artists. Several artist who are represented in this group, have been making several murals in prisons and hospitals in Croatia. Together with them we will be working on two books on art, art education and art therapy in prisons in the next two years. We are really looking forward to this project. Unfortunately, like so many other meetings, this meeting to was online.

Rondkomen

We are really proud on this one. The boardgame that Ed Santman has developed and designed for “Stichting Levvel” has finally arrived. This boardgame is meant to be a tool for young people to help them to arrange their finances and to be better prepared to arrange their own lives. 

Good Footprint

Writing the next application

GOOD FOODPRINT is the name of the project that we have been writing in recent weeks the ambition is to use arts and participation to raise awareness among young people about urgent issues like the relation between the food we eat and our environmental footprint.It was submitted under the extra Erasmus+ funding for art and culture that recently became available because of the Covid pandemic.

– Comparing the outcome with similar experiences of other European prisons; – Presenting their work to the regional networks operating within the prisons

Art of freedom


Produce and publish two educational books (manuals) explaining and displaying different aspects of artwork in the prison. 
Artists involved in working in prisons need to go through proper education:  
– a different approach to work, 
-a different approach to the people they will encounter. 
Promote education in prisons, search for professional associates, the exchange of knowledge and the dissemination of good practice have been implemented in the European area for a long time. The transnational implementation of the project will use the specific knowledge and expertise off each partner.By educating the prison system’s expert staff about artistic activities, part of the scientific field of medicine and  psychology, it is one of the important lifelong literacy processes.
