There is a moment in almost every group when a difficult situation comes. A conflict. Someone feels excluded. There is a disagreement that is now allowed to be spoken.. The instinct trained into most of us since childhood is to look for who's at fault and what the consequence should be. Ask a different question, though, and everything changes: what does this situation need in order to be repaired?

Joining NVC and Forum Theatre in one hot seat, reflections from a training

The world of non-formal education and experiential learning has grown a lot through the Erasmus+ programme, and the ecosystem is huge. It’s exciting, but it can feel overwhelming if you’re just stepping in. And sometimes, as exciting as it is, we can get lost in it. Last year we created the 2025 edition of this guide, and it was wildly successful. That’s why now we’re coming with the 2026 edition of the Ultimate Erasmus+ Master Guide - a clear, friendly, and experience-based roadmap to help you:

Legislative theatre is not theatre that just “presents” problems. It is a method that seeks solutions and translates them into the language of policies, regulations, and laws. It is a form of socially engaged art that transforms a theatrical performance into a space for civic dialogue, turning the audience into active participants in the process of social change. It At its core, legislative theatre is grounded in the lived experiences of real people and real communities. It asks a simple yet radical question: What would change if those affected by a given problem had a genuine opportunity to take part in creating the solutions?

I agreed to assist because from the vantage point of my known experience, professional contact and personal desire to assist people with implementing the various ideas brought to Creatosphere, we can mutually reach personal growth, the development of new competencies and the awakening of unknown abilities, as well as the ever so popular lifelong learning.

My form of art is dancing, under the moonlight on the beach or on the wooden floor at a dance hall, as it holds the same magic; but it’s also painting, nothing else can give me such peace of mind and clear-headedness from everything that’s happening both internally and externally

Definitely inspiring people is my first goal! Because I want every person who thinks he/she is ordinary and “that won’t happen to me” to be inspired by us that LITERALLY there’s nothing you can not DO!

What truly inspired me to co-found Creatosphere is the fact that there is a huge need nobody speaks about of a hub for encouraging artists and develop young leaders through empowering them by the power of art and mindset shifts.

I know that the way I can best contribute to the lives of others around me, and what excites me the most, is helping others see something that they haven’t seen so far in themselves. These moments of “wow, I didn’t know I could create like this, express myself like this, that I have it in me”. It is worth living for, and if through Creatosphere we can help someone experience it - it’s worth the hustle.
