“Grownups aren’t bosses here, they’re equals.” How a museum became a “third place” for at-risk teenagers.

In 2021 the “Urban Investigation” art project won the Stronger with CSS competition. The team from the Polyarny Regional Historical Museum and the Perm Museum of Contemporary Art (PERMM) wanted to make the museum a comfortable, safe and supportive place for at-risk teenagers. Here is how the process unfolded and what results it obtained.

About interaction with participants of social projects

Identifying a social problem, measuring it, designing a project plan, finding financial support are just the starting points of a great work. One of the most challenging aspects of implementing social projects is the interaction with the beneficiaries and, in the case of children's projects, their guardians/parents. Nina N. Ershova, Head of the Center for Social and Psychological Assistance in Kirov, shared her experience of interaction with parents and guardians of beneficiaries.

Being fully prepared doesn’t require being problem-free

Talked about Karen Pittman, the ideologue and evangelist of the Concept of Positive Youth Development.

Adaptive sports conference

All our experience shows that sport is one of the most effective tools for including children with special needs in a full life. And also to create a truly inclusive society, where different people are ready to interact and through cooperation become more successful, stronger and better off.
