European Projects (2008 – 2025)
Latitudes Contemporaines’ horizons extend well beyond its geographical, political or economic frontiers. As a player in European development, the association participates in European projects and drives others.
CCA – Clarity, Creativity, Action
Clarity Creativity Action (CCA) is a European project that took place between November 2023 and October 2025. The project is based on the Art Therapy Centre in Milan’s experience in Jordan in 2021 in a project involving Syrian and Palestinian refugee children, some of whom were severely disabled. Funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ program, the project emerges from the collaboration of six professionals in the fields of culture and/or humanitarian work. Their aim is to co-develop an embodiment and art therapy methodology, particularly designed for refugees: the Clarity, Creativity, Action method.

This project has brought together four main partners, Latitudes Contemporaines (Lille, France), the Music and Drama Theatre (Tbilisi, Georgia), the Teatro di Roma (Rome, Italy) and the Vooruit (Ghent, Belgium), and two associated structures, the École nationale supérieure des arts visuels de La Cambre (Brussels, Belgium) and the MIR Festival (Athens, Greece).
