Social action projects and community/participatory arts projects can have quite different approaches, but there’s lots of crossover that hasn’t been fully explored.
So how can they be brought together? Are you doing it already?
We’re delighted to be leading a consultation to find out just how the local artists and arts professionals in our networks understand and deliver social action projects. And if you’re an artist or arts professional and you don’t really know what a social action project is: don’t worry!
What we really want to know is: how can how creativity, diversity and participatory arts be brought together to empower people to tackle social challenges in a structured and educational way?
There are 10 spaces for artists and arts professionals to be interviewed as part of this consultation. These will be one-to-one or in small groups. If you’re interested and can make one of the following slots, please email zoe@rosettaarts.org

After we speak with you, we will be putting our heads together to help design a methodology and put together task teams to create, plan and implement social action projects in the area. The approach will also be tested transnationally with our project partners in the UK, Spain, Italy, Slovakia and Croatia.
The resources that we create will equip community education workers and community artists with innovative methods and tools to develop their knowledge and capability to support communities through intergenerational social action project-based learning in the future.
In order to make sure that these resources are relevant, we are consulting with you, the practitioners to ask what your experiences and needs are.
Be part of making arts educational settings even better. This consultation is the first phase of of the two-year Motivate 2 Create project, which can you learn more about here.
