Project title
Description of initiative
Populart project uses art as a vehicle offered unique pathways to adult education for active citizenship, personal development and fulfillment. Populart promotes human development by self-motivation for learning and therefore enhances individual skills development and the ability of each trainee to take responsibility for his own life. Additionally, through the Community Psychology course that POPULART offers, the project serves as a mean to promote the well-being, crisis management, multiculturalism, internationalization and global justice. Populart delivered a methodological framework for using arts in Popular University, and 11 interactive and multimedia courses on Community psychology through Arts. Community Psychology employs various perspectives within and outside of psychology to address issues of communities, the relationships within them, and related people's attitudes and behaviour. Using art as the trigger, Populart combines disciplines which have been isolated from one another under traditional educational models.
