What is Artvocacy4u?
is a three-year initiative funded under the EU’s Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme that uses the arts as a working space for civic dialogue. Each year takes on a different creative discipline as its lens, using it to engage citizens and civil society organisations with the values that hold the Union together – the rule of law, equality, democratic participation, and good governance.
El Sistema Greece opens the season with young, diverse musicians performing under one baton. Music brings people together for EU values.
Storytelling becomes civic rehearsal. The production stages the everyday work of civil society – its friction, its patience, its stakes. Showcasing stories through theatre
Closes the season with an exhibition built to be read aloud. Personal narrative and policy discussion share the same room on purpose, so equality stops sounding like a strategy.
