For this purpose we are developing a CreaSpace happening - and in it a creative future space (Creafore=Creative Forsight Space). In it we will use
various participating methods in order to encourage the participants to develop new kinds of ideas for groups like these.
In the CreaSpace- event new ideas are developed about what the new kind of literacy could be like and how the two sides of literacy will be supported in the circles( the text reception and production, the social media enabled by the new global and multicultural community and the new kind of text - perception ).
Heighten activity and the skills to analyze texts (in broad meaning) and increase the person’s sensitivity. Understanding that both the text and its meaning are evolving, which gives possibilities to get to know many things connected to the text.

And what possibilities are there to use recycled material when creating new art.
CreaSpace- In this happening we want to remind everyone how utterly important recycling is.
