CREATIVE CONNECTIONS NORWAY

Creative Connections Norway (CCN) is a non- profit organization established in Balestrand, which has long art history and is a member of Euro-Art. CCN`s main goal is to activate children and youth living in Sogndal municipality and in the region. Art and agriculture are the two main methods during the workshops. WE also arrange international training courses, and free-time activities for promoting awareness, understanding, and appreciation of other cultures, traditions, nature, and natural resources. ARTicipation; We believe that the creative process can bring different communities, different groups, and generations together. Creative Connections uses ARTicipation as an art-based method to create arenas for participants for meaningful experiences. ARTicipation activities; Marbling (EBRU), photography, storytelling, short filmmaking is some of the activities under this program. Cultivation: CCN is in an organic farm called Ciderhuset in Balestrand. We are using only natural methods without any harmful chemicals, toxic ingredients, or synthetic element to fertilize, feed or increase growth. We love to share our passion for organic farming and believe that the knowledge about it has it to be spread to the next generation. That is why we arrange courses such as cloning trees, fruit tree pollination, composting, herb gardening. We encourage young people for learning about where their food courses and different art workshops.
