International Arts for Social Change Platform (Federation Xarxagroga)Mission and Objectives
ARTIXOC aims to promote co-operation between young people in Europe and other countries by using art as a way of communication beyond linguistic barriers. We also want to approach culture to young people with social needs (unemployed, people with economic difficulties, immigrants…) in order to integrate them in our groups of young students. This is why we want to offer them leisure activities like: theater lessons, singing lessons, music and so on. WE BELIEVE THAT ARTS is one of the best ways to communicate with other people and to become aware of oneself. So, we expect that learning theater will help young people in overcoming their personal difficulties and can develop many skills, as well as training them to perform team work. The workshops, both technical and artistical, expect to offer a leisure time and a good atmosphere where young get in touch with each other and can make new friends.Main Projects / Activities
