Kulturanova has become part of the international Horizon Europe project INTRACOMP (Intercultural and Transcultural Competence Through Collaborative Cultural Expression), which aims to transform arts education and promote cultural democracy across Europe and the South Pacific. This project brings together artists, educators, and academics from 12 countries, including Norway, Belgium, Germany, Finland, Italy, the United Kingdom, Serbia, Slovakia, Greece, Hungary, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea.
The project focuses on exploring the role of art in the era of forced migration, with a particular emphasis on climate mobility, political and ecological challenges, as well as social cohesion. INTRACOMP aims to contribute to the creation of a new educational framework that will foster greater intercultural collaboration and mutual understanding, promoting art as a key factor in the process of social inclusion and strengthening cultural democracy.
Funded by the European Union, the project is coordinated by Nord University in Norway, under the leadership of Nicholas Rowe, UNESCO Professor of Dance and Social Inclusion. The project is being implemented in collaboration with numerous renowned partners, including the University of Auckland (New Zealand), the University of Verona, the European Network of Cultural Centres, and many other important academic and cultural organizations.
Kulturanova is proud to have the opportunity to contribute to this global effort, which addresses issues of crucial importance to our community and the world. With the goal of making art a bridge that connects different cultures and communities, the INTRACOMP project will create a new platform for developing sustainable and inclusive cultural practices that help build a more just and equitable society.
