When Art has the power to transform…

Crear Vale La Pena is an Argentinean NGO founded in 1993 by Ines Sanguinetti – sociologist, dancer and choreographer.

Poverty affects more and more young people in Argentina. CVLP is an ongoing project in social transformation through art in order to fight against social exclusion and the vicious circle of poverty.

CVLP supports programmes of artistic expression and cultural activities, offering to young people the chance to escape from poverty and forge the links which build long-term social cohesion.

EDUCATION = ART + SOCIAL ORGANISATION :

Artistic education is a powerful means of social transformation for individuals living at risk and in poverty.
"education = art + social organisation" is a programme which brings together education, artistic production and social organisation as tools for personal and community development. This programme aims to allow vulnerable young people to improve their quality of life and to acquire values such as, caring about others, taking an active part in civic life and social responsibility.

The work of Crear Vale la Pena began in the north of Greater Buenos Aires. It has since developed in different places in Latin America and Europe: theatres, schools, universities, cultural centres and festivals…

Most of those who take part, study, give classes or run these different centres are women, including young mothers. Mothers are the first victims of exclusion in the context of unemployment and difficult circumstances for bringing up children.

In the last 12 years, CVLP has trained 5,400 young people, that is, 600 a year, taking part in 60 workshops. Some of these young people have already reached a professional standard and take part in music and dance productions.

CVLP also offers training in various disciplines to women in difficult circumstances to help them break out of their situation.
CVLP is part of the Latin-American Network for Art and Social Transformation, and has made 4 cultural exchanges to Germany.

For this reason a similar project has begun in Germany targeting discrimination against young Germans of immigrant origin: "Kiel Learning from the South".
This programme applies the strategy of "Art+ Social
Transformation", succeeding in bringing about a change in the Western view of North-South relations.

Crear Vale la Pena is a valuable model and reference point in the field of art and social organisation.
