The CREATE Capacity-Building Programme is designed for people active in a creative process or interested in implementing one, who believe that culture can be a force of social cohesion, empowering communities and driving positive change.
By enrolling in this programme, you will be trained to apply your own creation process as an innovative pedagogical and mediation tool that helps people living in populations at risk of social exclusion to develop a wide rage of personal and social skill.
The five modules of the programme will guide you through this process, providing new tools and inspiration, such as the CREATE methodology, based on the “pedagogical experience in creation”: a privileged moment to carry out the pedagogical activity through a process of artistic creation; a methodology aimed at teaching a self-mastery and knowledge of one’s own body and at strengthening relationship between mind and body as a single entity.
The Capacity Building programme is run by five multidisciplinary institutions (En Lugar de Creación – Spain. – INCOMA – Spain. – CESIE – Italy. – Low Air– Lithuania. – ARTIT – Greece, offering a multidisciplinary expertise in the following fields: dance and choreography; Theatre; Music; Digital tools for artists; Intercultural awareness and dialogue.

- MODULE 2: “The pedagogic experience in creation methodology”This module will introduce theory studies on the creative processes. It will offer a complete pedagogical methodology operating as an innovative pedagogical tool, basing the process of creation on the attention to diversity and inclusive processes. It aims to operate as the theoretical basis and the groundwork for the effective implementation of the Capacity Building Programme. Thus, it aims to put pedagogy in the service of the needs and potentialities of the target groups, as well as in the service of identifying the different challenges, from an artistic and creative perspective, and proposing pedagogical tools on how to overcome them.5

- MODULE 3: How to tailor the CREATE framework and set-up Social Intervention ProgrammesThis module will focus on the implementation of social intervention programmes. The training cycle “Creation Processes - Pedagogy - Social Intervention”', is part of the CREATE framework. This module will enable trainers to face the problems they may encounter in their work as mediators working with populations at risk of social exclusion and to alleviate the lack of attention, absenteeism, illiteracy, the lack of participation of women and the digital divide. It also will enable them to better perform in social, community and environmental tasks, as well as to promote greater personal development and well-being. The overall training course tailored for trainers (mediators and the artists themselves) based on the creative processes, aims to make this potential of the creative processes visible and to make this phase of the artist's work profitable.4
