The project “Shake-in the City. The art of inclusion” aims to make art and theatre accessible, to bring art to people who would not otherwise make an effort to experience it. This aim is relevant to the main theme of the European Year 2010 - Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. Our intention is to stimulate inhabitants of the lower potential areas in the suburbs of big cities and the region, to actively participate in culture. Preventing social exclusion through culture, providing inspiration, entertainment and motivation to take part in and experience art is at the core of the undertaking. We want to animate community groups by recruiting them as volunteers for cultural activities. We plan to "Shake" the towns and cities with William Shakespeare, the most popular pan-European writer of all times, whose works provide a platform of mutual cultural understanding between European societies.
