Brief project description.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>\u00a0Project &#8220;Ma\u0161ta handbook: practical guide of creative activism&#8221; aims to collect manuals, reports from best practice as well as ideas on creative activism and its significance in society. Mobilizing the Ma\u0161ta network and creating frame for regular activities, project strengthens the communication channel for sharing the knowledge and ideas about creative activism.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>The outcome of the project is a online community and publication for youth educators,<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>activists, artists, community facilitators and everyone else who believes in progress by bottom-up, socially engaged microrevolution.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u00a0<\/i><b><i>2. Handbook idea.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>Creative activism as fairly unexplored though significant area in the field of social movements brings together innovative, unconventional, playfull and artistic solutions with tools of active citizenship. Creative activism is open, variable, accessible and shareable domain, what can be applied by streetart rebels, massive group of protestors, secret hackers as well as garden gnomes, office worms and craft freaks. What unites them is ability to reach the places no regular media or government has been into &#8211; not only speaking about obvious social, political or other type of problems, but also stimulating reflection about society and the type of world we want to live in.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>So specific and at the same time open, we as people from Masta network see creative activism as always present but difficult to capture. Through such activities as international gatherings, local action groups as well as publications, Masta network has worked to gather and spread the knowledge and experience in the field of creative activism.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Feeling the potential of the available sources and contacts as well as necessity to create effective, available and shareable tool for nonformal- and self- education, the Masta crew has came up with idea of &#8220;Ma\u0161ta handbook: practical guide of creative activism&#8221;.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>The handbook shall be seen as manifest of creative activist, rather opening discussions than creating closed definitions, explaining the underlining concepts, context and motivation as well as sharing practical tips and tricks. The equal importance of process and result shall not be forgotten, while reading the manifesto, created by open and flat structured collective of authors.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b><i>3. Target audience<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>As mentioned above, this handbook is a tool for &#8220;youth educators, activists, artists, community facilitators and everyone else who believes in progress by bottom-up, socially engaged microrevolution.&#8221; This tool is also for people like me and You, not necessarily signing under the name of &#8220;change makers&#8221;, but still having our own experience, willing to share our story as well as curious to hear and inspire from others.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Keeping it simple, whilst time looking for unique combination of creative acts that would reflect the Masta view, we want to capture eyes what haven\u00b4t seen the concept of &#8220;creative activism&#8221; as well as readers, whose hands are already a bit d<\/i>irty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear activist, My name is Ruta, I am part of team for the Masta Handbook Project and Im writing You to ask if You would<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":101,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arhiv","two-columns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kula.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kula.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kula.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kula.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kula.si\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=98"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.kula.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":444,"href":"https:\/\/www.kula.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98\/revisions\/444"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kula.si\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kula.si\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=98"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kula.si\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=98"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kula.si\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=98"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
