Foundation of Cultural Creativity for Children and Youth

The Foundation of Cultural Creativity for Children and Youth was established in 2010 with the aim to create the conditions for artistic creation amongst young people regardless their origin and their economic capacity. More specifically, the Foundation aims at promoting creativity and encouraging access to culture for youth, while at the same time fostering intercultural dialogue and safeguarding cultural identity.

The Foundation’s purpose is to provide equal access and participation in cultural goods, enhancing multiculturalism, promotion and preservation of cultural identity and generally contributing to any cultural and artistic programs and events for young people. The workshops offered in 2016 in the Foundation included:

"Mousikotechnasmata": A musical workshop that promotes love for creativity and artistic expression in children.

"Dive into Colours": programme designed to train kids to adopt a way of thinking that will enable them to develop self-confidence and self-worth in order to balance their emotions and thoughts, and communicate more effectively. The above objectives are achieved through craftsmaking, story-tellling, tours, theatrical expression, writing, music, creative expression, experiments and other group activities.

Music Program for Children and Young People: The program is aimed specifically to children and young people that come from families with socio-economic difficulties, offering them free one-to-one music learning of an instrument (piano, guitar, percussion)

Theatre: Preparation for theatre performances in theatres, communities and other scenes, while participating in the whole process of implementation of a performance (script, set design, technical support, etc.).

Creative Writing Workshops: Through the courses the participants have the opportunity to develop their critical capacity, to improve their writing skills and talent.
