SOCA is an NGO that focuses on engaging youths within the artistic contemporary field. Our target audience are youths and under represented minorities and our objectives are to initiate and implement, independently or in partnership with other NGO’s, activities targeted to enhance the opportunities of young people to fully explore and utilize their creative powers in various cultural artistic fields as well as raise awareness among audiences for the fundamental role that culture plays in.
Our contribution would primarily entail the exchange and mobility of cultural individuals to partake in artistic projects thus enhancing the cultural and creative experience that would be shared amongst such participants with the ultimate result of exhibiting/showcasing cultural/artistic expressions.
SOCA would like to enhance its networks so as to implement projects that involve a trans-national approach thus involving artists, musicians, dancers as well as individuals in the cultural field the opportunity to participate in collaborative projects.
