CHORA – Cultural hubs for open and regenerative arts

Acronym: CHORA

Category:
Operations of Strategic Importance (OSI)

Project Summary

The main general objective of CHORA project is the preservation and the valorization of the rich cross border cultural asset and the establishment of a permanent cultural dialogue between the parties through the creation of a cultural and creative network that will foster sustainable cross-border economic and social development and will take advantage of the existing dynamic of the sector.

This will be achieved through the establishment of a cross-border network of multifunctional creative and cultural hubs, composed by buildings restored in the project and by already existing and operating sites (also in the perspective of the capitalization of previous project results) and it will serve as a system of centres boosting the dialogue and the cooperation between Italy and Greece by promoting the cooperation and hosting events dedicated to the common traits and features of the two Countries.

The project will leverage on initiatives that will offer the opportunity to emerging and established artists to showcase their work, engage with audiences, and participate in workshops and exchange. These will also include both new and already established festivals celebrating diverse artistic practices, such as cinema, music, and theatre.

In addition to these events, the project will focus on the training of artists and professionals in the cultural and creative industries field. This will involve workshops and masterclasses designed to support artists in the development of their work, offering them the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in their fields.
