Monde Cultur'halle
"Monde Cultur'halle" was born out of the desire to make a small contribution to the artistic, cultural and intellectual development of a third country (outside the EU and EFTA) by supporting a project directly related to art (dance, theatre, live performances) and the art of knowledge (literary projects, educational projects).
This year, Cultur'halle has chosen the project "Leia Mais 2.0" (approximate translation: "Read more 2.0") of the association Companhia de Teatro e Dança Arte Livre (CIATDAL), based in Brazil.
The Companhia de Teatro e Dança Arte Livre (CIATDAL) is a creative non-profit association, recognised as being of public utility in Brazil by law:
029/2010 of 23 November 2010,
Municipal Public Utility Act, 9802 of 29 April 2013,
Public Utility Law of the State of Maranhão.
For 15 years, CIATDAL has been helping to develop public policies that guarantee the valorisation of art and culture as a means of developing skills that collaborate with the educational, economic and social development of children, young people and adults, contributing to the improvement of public security and social rights. At present, it is the only association that disseminates actions for these purposes in the southern region of Maranhão, a state located in the northeast of Brazil.
Leia Mais 2.0
The "Leia Mais 2.0" project hopes to bring occasional moments of reading and entertainment to children of all ages in less developed areas of the region.
The project is proving to be an important support in the intellectual development of society in the region, helping children to develop a taste for reading while having fun with artistic interventions.
