Socially Engaged Culture
Socially engaged cultural management is more than a profession; it is our passionate commitment to transforming communities through the power of culture. It is about igniting inspiration, fostering inclusivity, and bridging divides through the universal language of art.
We recognize the intrinsic value of culture in shaping identities, fostering understanding, and nurturing a sense of belonging.
Our practice empowers marginalized voices, amplifies unheard narratives, and dismantles systemic barriers through innovative interventions—from community projects that reclaim neglected spaces to immersive performances that challenge societal norms. Socially engaged cultural management for us, is about creating platforms for dialogue, empathy, and transformation.
Our core values are:
Sustainability – leaving behind practical tools, frameworks, and inspiration so communities can continue to activate spaces and shape their cultural life.
Empowerment – enabling participants to recognize and value their own skills, assets, and contributions.
Connection – building stronger networks and relationships within the community through shared creative processes.
Our Story
Founded in 2022, We are Community (WaC) is guided by a strong mission rooted in a deep commitment to people and to the diverse cultural fabric that enriches our societies. We foster community-powered initiatives that connect local and global perspectives, creating spaces where creativity, participation, and inclusion thrive.
Our aim is not only to create memorable and enjoyable experiences but also to facilitate participatory projects where every voice matters. By actively promoting equity, inclusivity, and collaboration, we strive to bridge divides and bring people together in meaningful and joyful ways.
We believe in the transformative power of culture to unite communities and inspire collective action towards a more just, equitable, and vibrant world.
Our approach focuses on identifying and mobilizing the existing strengths, resources, and capacities of communities to drive positive change. By building on what communities already have, rather than what they lack, we empower people to take ownership of their development, foster self-reliance, and create sustainable solutions.
We design and deliver projects that are creative, meaningful, and community-owned, working with partners who share our values of co-creation, equity, and amplifying voices. Together, we celebrate local communities while embracing global connections—always placing culture, participation, and shared values at the heart of what we do.
