We believe that the Residui Teatro association can contribute to broaden the methodologies, pedagogies and tools for social work through the artistic expression of the partner organisations of the Spanish network, favouring the meeting of different approaches and creating synergies for the elaboration and implementation of more effective and sustainable projects. We strongly believe in networking, in horizontality and mutual and bilateral collaboration with other entities, as well as in art as a means to transform the social reality that surrounds us, and we are more than willing to contribute our professionalism and enthusiasm to the network.
We want to join the ALF network in order to have the possibility to increase our networking with other institutions, to learn about new realities and new approaches to work, which will be the basis for the future presentation and development of projects, exchanges, workshops between the two shores of the Mediterranean, in order to promote the meeting of different cultures and the development of intercultural dynamics.
