What is Resource Center Belgrade?

RC Belgrade is Rex's youth program, developed by initiative and with support of the European Cultural Foundation.

The goal of RC BG is to include young people in the process of conceiving and creating works of art, and to direct their creativity towards better understanding, shaping and improving their position in society.

mentors and associates of the youth on-line magazine at Cyber Rex.


RC BG will work on the following:

- creating conditions that would stimulate young people to work together with professional artists;
- exploring different approaches to art production, based on social engagement;
- directing activities of participants of the program towards overcoming social and cultural disorientation;
- opposing political confusion by developing creative enthusiasm

Knows-hows
Rex has acquired human and material resources over ten years of working, which qualified it, together with another ten cultural centers in countries of eastern Europe, as a resource center for developing art projects that enable young people to participate in the process of creation as equals. The network of Resource Centers is supported by the European Cultural Foundation (ECF).


This year, the Resource Center Belgrade is realizing several programs which have been selected at a public competition (projects 2004).
