Creativity and Educational Studio ARTIED

Creativity and Educational Studio ARTIED is centred around the concepts of Art Appreciation and Art Inspired Education. Our believe is that “Art is meaning and helps us better understand ourselves, people and the world around us”. Our goals are in 3 main directions:

1) We want to encourage more people to slow down, to reduce stress levels coming from their daily routines and to enjoy the art of slow and ‘green’ living, in harmony with nature. One of the ways to achieve these is to delve into artistic challenges and to learn how to use art appreciation to ‘read’ and reflect on hidden messages in artworks. This helps us rediscover ourselves and seek (and reveal) our own meaning in life.

2) We believe that art in all its forms boosts our creativity and ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking, helps us break with stereotypes, increases our emotional intelligence, and recharges us with positive emotions. That is why, we constantly need to nurture and exercise these.

3) We constantly encourage entrepreneurship and personal and professional development of art and crafts inspired people and work for ‘opening’ the cultural sector to people with disabilities. To achieve all these, we organise short educational and art appreciation sessions and creativity boosting trainings.

They provoke learners’ curiosity about different art movements, styles, artists and works from Classical, Modern and Post-modern art, but also help them overcome the fear of talking about artworks and the emotions they evoke. This way, we encourage our participants to take an ‘inner look’ into artworks, to learn how to analyse them and to make new links and associations beyond the things, visible at first sight. We also organise special art sessions and activities for seniors and older people with dementia and Alzheimer to support their active aging and social inclusion.

Forum – Center for Strategic Research and Documentation was established in 1997 as an NGO and think-tank dedicated to researching strategic aspects and solutions to current local, national and regional issues. Forum CSRD played a significant role in strengthening the role of the civil sector and increasing its influence in the creation of national policies aimed at achieving the necessary standards for EU integration of the Republic of North Macedonia. Today, the organization actively works to involve citizens in the processes of participative democracy by educating hundreds of citizens and civic activists on how to fulfill their needs and ideas within the social flows and influence the decision-makers.

Forum CSRD is dedicated to the EU Green agenda and is working towards creating more sustainable communities. Our latest project was “Organic agriculture innovation platform” supported by the Erasmus + KA2 Programme, where we used our skills and expertise to develop educational materials and curriculum for organic agriculture.

One of the programme priorities of Forum CSRD is decentralization, and in many activities related with it the association cooperated with representatives of local organizations, communities and municipalities who implemented actions related with rural development, ECOLOGY, food production, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION etc. Also, as an organization we are dedicated to contribute to the ambitious SDGs agenda in creation of partnerships needed between the governments, local governments, private sector, CSOs and individuals that will work together as defined in Goal 17. Our policy documents and recommendations for changing the policies of local self-government and regional bodies are regularly pointing to the critical points of innovation in agricultural production.
