CreaTures

CreaTures – Creative Practices for Transformational Futures, is a 3-year EU Horizon 2020 initiative project, involving 11 consortium members from across Europe, that explores the transformative power of creative practices to resolve mounting social and environmental dilemmas. Stemming from pilot research in 2020, the project comprises three elements: the Observatory, the Laboratory, and the Evaluation. The Observatory identifies and maps transformational creative practices, while the Laboratory facilitates collaboration through creative arts productions, and the Evaluation team systematically tests creative practices.
