KA-MATRIX - Associaton for social development

One of the main objectives of the organization is – to encourage and promote the development of independent culture. We are dealing with issues of conversion of public spaces (abandoned, forgotten culturally heritage, etc.) for cultural purposes, particularly in the field of contemporary art. In this way we are advocating the development of local capacity for independent culture; encouraging cultural cooperation and exchange, advocacy and development of criteria and strategies in the field of independent culture, with an emphasis on young people, encouraging the development of the performing arts and the development of new media culture. Our programs are carried out thanks to the national and international co-financing from EU funds (IPA, ESF), which includes cooperation and development of public - civil partnership in the management of public spaces. We are implemeting new methodologies such as placemaking, service learning and deliberation. We work with primary and secondary schools as well as with universities. in the field of youth work we conduct various workshops in the field of non-formal education, democratic processes, active involvement and participation in society. Some of our programs include street art, exhibitions of young authors, participation in the development of local youth policies, etc.
