About us: Institute for creating, research and learning Azum (short Azum Institute) was founded in 2015 for the purpose of creative activities, research, counselling and educational as well as therapeutic activities. We are attempting to bring art and culture closer to the people, including therapeutic and psychosocial viewpoints. Our activities are mainly oriented toward vulnerable groups or those from socially disadvantaged environments. Therefore we engage also in projects that are not directly linked to performing arts but strive toward meeting our goals.
Azum Institute is an organization in which art, research and education are combined in order to contribute to spreading knowledge, expanding horizons and activating individuals as well as groups of people. Considering that drama and theater are really amazing platforms where we can address so many issues and we get a practice run at things that we do not really get to practice in life, they offer us a safe environment for experimenting. By engaging in multidisciplinary approaches we are also concerned about accessibility to work, knowledge and education.
Have a question? Would like to cooperate with us?
