The Center for Education, Research and Action FOTOESSA is an interdisciplinary initiative aiming to bridge the gap between academic research and the practices and activism of Civil Society, encourage understanding among people with different cultures and promote participation of young people in political and social events.

Our focus, most importantly, is on young people, by definition the agents of change, while methodologically we will follow an interdisciplinary and intercultural approach.
