Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

ARTBOX is a catalyst in the transformation of communities into an integrated, economically vibrant and democratically governed ‚ social enterprise ‚ smart community‚ that assures holistic security to the population and is capable to provide equal access to modern technologies and of permanent peaceful conflict management. This can be only possible through youth empowerment, unleashing young people‚ compassionate creativity using art and literature to counter the rising culture of exclusion, violence, and disconnection that affects us all. Across the globe there is a frightening rise in extremism, isolation, and despair. We seem have lost our basic capacity to come together to solve problems, to view other people‚ needs as our own, and to cross lines of difference to build community. Meanwhile, there are too many young people across the globe, many with ideas on how to solve the world‚ most entrenched problems, but only a very few have access to tools, mentors, and capital to turn their insights into reality. ARTBOX is changing this ‚ with global support. ARTBOX project collects globalized wisdom and suport and turn ideas into efforts changing this big picture- without egos or barriers from language, religion, politics or other issues being involved. To answer such challeneges requires a dedicated local Management Team in the Village being trained over a half a year. 

One of the many training sessions include solar energy, biogas production, vertical farming, social enterprise, social management and how to turn deforestation into reforestation using agroforestry.
