Projects 2007
in this year, we are continuing our efforts in
bringing contemporary art practices closer to young people. In doing this we
try to focus on the range of socially relevant issues important for young people,
institutions in charge for their education, policy makers and arctistic scene.
We approached or applied with our projects to many possible donors,
including ECF, Ministry of Culture, City Secretariate for Culture, City
Secretariate for Youth and Sports, Municipality of Stari Grad, CDA (Canadian International
Development Agency), Holland Embassy, SDC (Swiss Agency fo Developement and
Cooperation), Pro Helvetia etc...
Here is the list of the projects that continue our
activities and promote our methods of work with young people and audience:
Secondary Schooling Theatre 
"Dead Poets Society" team before their third performance in Rex
We see this project both as a proper continuation of our numerous
activities with secondary school population in Belgrade and Serbia and as an
innovation in the field of creative work with young people. Using the media of
theatre and its reflective potentials, we address the young generation as well
as wider community in a way that opens possibilities and appetites for social
change.
