POIEIN KAI PRATTEIN
aims to bring together 'creativity' and 'productivity' through the language of poetry becoming philosophical reflections, in order to give advise on outstanding issues and pending decisions affecting the everyday life of everz citizen. This includes cultural actions for Europe, the organisation of poetry and other forms of discussions such as the ECCM Symposium but also participation in European projects, in particular within the Structural Fund. Given the questions and policy issues to be faced by cities and political authorities at all levels and citizens in all walks of life, cultural orientation can be provided by providing access through the Internet to the knowledge which has been accumulated by these actions. It is as well a matter of giving recognition to those individuals or groups which have contributed towards improving the life of citizens in cities and regions.
In so doing Poiein kai Prattein wishes to promote civic values through Good Practice in the arts, philosophy and practical policy fields, in particular through (cultural) planning and cultural actions becoming community wide actions.
Governance of civil society should be based on the equality of gender, human dignity and participation and make possible democratic decision making processes.
Priorities
- contribute towards improving life of citizens in cities
- engage at policy levels (planning, culture, economy, environment)
- follow-up as to how people experience daily life
- promote work of interdisciplinary character
- network with other NGOs and other organisations of Civil Society
- engage in activities aiming to bring about sustainable development
- uphold the Rights of Children, Youth, the Elderly, Women and Men in all walks of life
POIEIN KAI PRATTEIN prepares and implements European projects in collaboration with Local Authorities, NGOs, SMEs, Institutions, Universities and other international bodies.
Poiein Kai Prattein collaborates with Kids' Guernica International to make possible peace murals on a canvas the same size as Picasso's Guernica (7,8 x 3,5 m).
As a non-profit making representative body POIEIN KAI PRATTEIN declares:
Good Practice is based on the symmetry of gender, equality and participation to make possible a civil life based on non violence, equal opportunities, transparency and accountability.
