ALPHABETICA aims to provide effective solutions that allow children and young people at risk of poverty or social exclusion to access arts and arts-based education through co-creative participatory research actions.
For some young people, access to ‘art’ is limited; often understood as a luxury or a leisure activity that may feel inaccessible or irrelevant. For others, their creative endeavours might not be recognised from their own perspective, as being ‘art’.
ALPHABETICA will carry out 12 pilot actions across 8 European countries aimed at enhancing the transformative effect of active participation in community-driven artistic co-creation activities. Collectively, the research pilot actions cover a range of school settings and out-of-school community settings with children from 3 to 18, as well as young people and adults of various ages.
