How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

AC can support the Anna Lindt Foundation through a meaningful partnership grounded in shared values such as social inclusion, youth empowerment, and access to the arts. With over a decade of experience in creating original theatre and educational programs for young people, IAC is positioned to co-develop innovative cultural initiatives that reflect the foundation’s mission. This includes collaborative workshops and performances focused on themes like identity, belonging, and intercultural dialogue, involving children and young adults supported by the foundation in participatory theatre processes.
The partnership becomes especially timely as Matera prepares to serve as the Mediterranean Capital of Culture and Dialogue, a recognition that underscores the city’s role as a hub for cross-cultural exchange and creative cooperation. Within this broader framework, IAC is launching Mediterranean Proximum, a new international project dedicated to exchanging stories between young adults and artists across the Mediterranean region. Through this initiative, IAC seeks to foster connections, explore shared narratives, and build bridges between communities that, while geographically close, often remain culturally distant.
In this context, a collaboration with the Anna Lindt Foundation could take the form of joint residencies, artist exchanges, or co-curated storytelling initiatives, reinforcing the power of theatre as a tool for dialogue and mutual understanding. Furthermore, IAC can offer training programs for educators, youth leaders, and cultural professionals on how to use performing arts to activate social change. The partnership could also contribute to international research and advocacy efforts, sharing best practices in using the arts to promote resilience, cultural identity, and community cohesion.
Together, IAC and the Anna Lindt Foundation could co-design impactful, visible projects that not only engage local audiences but also resonate across borders—strengthening cultural ties in the Mediterranean and beyond. By leveraging their respective expertise and networks, the two organizations could also pursue joint funding opportunities at the European or international level, ensuring long-term sustainability and broader outreach.
