ANTI taking part in multidisciplinary discussions
ANTI Festival is a part of several multidisciplinary networks and projects, both international and national. One of our most important international collaboration projects is Future DiverCities – an initiative of 10 cultural partners in Europe and Canada funded by Creative Europe programme.
ANTI is also contributing to the New Start Finland! project which is a part of the larger research programme PROMEQ – Inclusive Promotion of Health and Wellbeing (2016-2019).
In December, the two projects are taking ANTI to public forums and discussion meetings, you can read more about below. Both events are open to all and free to attend. Welcome!
