General Information
ASOCIAŢIA PENTRU EDUCAŢIE MULTICULTURALĂ (The Association for Multicultural Education) is a nonprofit and nongovernmental organization founded by a group of five young people, with academic backgrounds in History and Political Sciences, for the purpose of launching and developing social and cultural programs for youth in Romania and abroad. As sources of funding: own contribution, sponsorship and 2% from the annual incomes tax campaign. Some of the action modalities are youth exchange projects on different topics (dialog between cultures, environment, minorities, racism, cultural heritage). Our main partner is: Agentia Nationala pentru programe comunitare in domeniul educatiei si formarii profesionale, part of Ministry of Education, Research, Youth and Sports Romania.
Mission and Objectives

The Association for Multicultural Education is highly interested in coordinating projects in the field of heritage protection and conservation, in promoting and disseminating the European cultural values among the youth, the initiation and participation in national and international volunteer programs, the development of civic, cultural and educational activities for the disadvantaged people, in educating the young people and the community about the promotion of sustainable development and environmental protection, implementing activities aimed at environment preservation and ecological balance, in carrying out joint projects and cooperate with other similar national and international partners.
Our aim is to provide opportunities, develop and empower young people in general and also young people who are disadvantaged phisically, educationally, economically, socially and culturally through self-help and self-governing collective development activities. We want to provide them the access to information and to stimulate them to become actively involved in projects of national and European interest (environment, social inclusion, multicultural dialogue, equal rights, urban and rural development, antidiscrimination, health) in order to learn and guide others in their turn. After all, they could become an Europeanizing force by changing everything that others have not and for that reason they must be consulted and involved in the decisions affecting the future... the future of Romania and Europe!
The Association for Multicultural Education’ members have acquired a relevant prior experience in youth and civil society issues, participating in a multitude of projects organized by national and international NGOs, where they have acquired the skills and the mechanisms of youth networking.

General Information
Teatro Punto is a theater company under the artistic leadership of Katrien Van Beurden and Carlos García Estévez. It is a theater company which develops performances and workshops, based on Modern Commedia dell' Arte.With an international team of actors, Teatro Punto is active in countries such as The Netherlands, America, France and Spain. Its workshops are designed for professional actors and for theater academies such as the Arnhem acting school, the Wagner University in New York, the Ipan theatre in Paris and the Frank Sanders Music Theater Academy in Amsterdam.
Mission and Objectives

Teatro Punto makes theatre where the actor is the author of the story. As the actor on stage is stripped of supports such as extended settings and a fixed script, he can become the author of a tragicomic show. He does this through movement, text, techniques, imagination and the drift to perform.Teatro Punto’s main source of inspiration is Commedia dell'Arte. With its famous masks and archetypes, Commedia dell'Arte is the first professional actors' theater in history. Some such better known archetypes are Pantalone, an old man that holds on to anything because death is calling, and Il Capitano, the one who pretends to be everything he's not. Hatred, fear and desire are significant emotions brought forward by these characters. The most important motives are survival, love, money and starvation. Teatro Punto occupies itself with the archetypes of today while developing a very characteristic and contemporary universal actors' theater. Full of acting possibilities it is precise and vulnerable, yet above all else it is alive. The Company wants to bring together nationality's. In popular tradition the Archetypical mask appears as a social liberation from taboos and as a cultural expression of the common people. The archetypes from Commedia dell'Arte come from Popular Culture. All of them have appeared from the antiquity to our present days. They are universal and immortal.

Main Projects / Activities

Because the archetypes and its masks are universal, is is a theatre form witch can be played every where, with everyone, and for everyone.
If you take for example the archetype of Pantalone, an old man that holds on to life because death is calling, you see that in all the world the recognise the oldness, but depending the cultural, there circumstances and background, they are different, Threw this theatre we learn in wat we are different but maybe more in wat we have in common. Teatro punto Tours around witch shows and workshops the teach theatermakers the technique op Teatro punto and they create schools where different nationality's work together.
