The partners of "A.C.T."choose to promote Art as a critical space in the fundamental debate on the future of Democracy: recognizing the importance of freedom of creation, while questioning the training methods and the anchoring of the artists' work in social space. This project is passionately in favour of movement, exchange and openness to stimulate free circulation of ideas and artworks and to broaden European cultural life. HOW TO ACT? is a dynamic extension of the A.C.T. Democ[k]racy project. It post-produces the exhibitions, conferences and residences fostering exchange of thought, inventing and representing the democratic changes of Europe in a nearby future through pan-European creative exchange. Living documentation consisting of photographs, critical and poetic texts, political cartoons and more, open up the project's outcomes for artistic and civil acts to catalyzing inventive and collaborative democratic building, together with united art actors who are pushing for European action on the fringes of the art world in order to drum up a heartbeat of lively European cultural exchange
