HEADSUP! The idea contest will be open from October 25th 2024. to November 25th 2024 on this page (in Serbian)
PLACETHEATRE aims to use the public realm of Novi Sad (Serbia)…
…particularly several neglected public areas from remote neighborhoods and apply innovative and unconventional art-based methodologies (street theatre and dialogues of the future) for helping citizens and social groups at risk (minorities, refugees, females, LGBTQ, people with social and economic obstacles, disabilities) regain their sense of community and belonging in a sustainable, socially-inclusive and circular manner following the New European Bauhaus principles of inclusion, aesthetics and sustainability.
Novi Sad 2022 EU Capital of Culture
The project goal is to follow-up on the Novi Sad 2022 EU Capital of Culture citizen engagement base and fill the placemaking gaps by taking advantage of a cultural momentum and spirit initiated in the city.
Empowering citizens
The project will help activate citizen-driven solutions, support local authorities in placemaking and strengthen collaboration among different heterogeneous actors that do not normally interact.
Inform policymakers
2 Living lab pilot workshops with 5 policy makers at the local (Novi Sad) and regional (Vojvodina) levels to secure the sustainability of PLACETHEATRE, build upon the outcomes of the implemented activities and discuss the possibility of opening a NEB Lab in the city.
