The aim of it is to organize several programs and conferences in the field of arts, culture, interdisciplinarity, and sciences. The goal is to create a room for self-expression, discuss, colluquy and deliverance. We focus particularly on young people, their (sub)cultures in urban surroundings, their forms of expression. We consider it relevant to bridge between the mainstream- and the subcultures, to potentiate and to boost the communication between different age-groups.
