The Center for Education, Research and Action FOTOESSA is an interdisciplinary initiative that aims to bridge the gap between academic research and civil society practices. Through experiential programs, collaborations and initiatives, at local, national and transnational level, we encourage intercultural dialogue, social and creative entrepreneurship, support the most vulnerable social groups and promote non-formal education and lifelong learning.
At Fotoessa we contribute to the effort for more resilient, inclusive societies, for communities with active citizens who empower the human rights and the sustainability of our planet – home every day. We inspire children and young people to highlight their special, transformative powers by creating new, better individual and common perspectives. We encourage self-awareness and personal growth as integral parts of collective well-being and we strive to fearlessly build bridges from the inside out, from “me” to “we”, in order to establish more firmly our common humanity.
