Culture Hub Croatia (CHC) is using education, culture and creativity for development of local Croatian communities through transmission of knowledge and European expertise and through promotion of art practices. We are a non-profit organization officially founded in January 2017 in Split, Croatia. Not being physically restricted to one city, working from different parts of Europe and at the same time being a “hub”, for us means wider opportunities for collaboration – creating multidisciplinary, community-led joint cultural and creative actions with a social impact. All our projects and activities are based on partnerships. The mission of the CHC is to act in three interconnected fields:
– EDUCATION: to provide innovative and sustainable educational opportunities to the local Croatian communities and to encourage creativity and art as a teaching methodology; to increase the number of trained professionals in the cultural field by organizing trainings and capacity building programs in collaboration with European partners; to increase the quality of life-long learning in Croatia.
– PARTNER PROJECTS: to create and join international networks and foster new collaborations; to provide assistance in applications for projects on the European level as well as their organization, implementation and evaluation; to enable everyone in the community to participate in the activities of the ongoing projects and to use CHC as an “umbrella” organization and make their own projects happen.
– ART AND CREATIVITY: to promote local art, artistic and artisan practices through developing innovative interdisciplinary initiatives; contributing to the valorization of the artistic work and developing an art market in Croatia; creating new opportunities for projects among artists and providing support.
Arditodesìo is a professional theatre production company founded in 2002, headquartered at the Portland Theatre in Trento, Italy. In 2012, Arditodesìo joined forces with the Physical
Science Communication Laboratory of the Physics Department of the University of Trento to launch JPT, which has become its main project.
JPT’s mission is to teach and practice scientific narration by means of theatre and artistic expression, to develop a sense of curiosity and wonder, a thirst for knowledge, and to allow a better comprehension of the scientific world, the people that live it, the results of science and, bottom line, to better understand our present and future. JPT’s work builds on deep scientific content in a wide spectrum of fields to promote science engagement, connecting researchers, science facilitators, teachers and artists. It lies at the interface between science and art, human beings and society, and the philosophy of science. JPT originates from the idea that high-level science done in Universities and Research Centres around the world is rarely coupled with adequate tools to communicate science in comprehensible and inspiring ways. At the same time most audiences don’t have the technical knowledge to fully appreciate scientific work and advances, and so novel communication channels need to be invented. Moreover, a healthy society should cherish proficiency in science, art, music… because this way its leaders face a public opinion that is aware and awake.
