About the project
In the year 2024, social alienation between people is intensifying more than ever due to disunity and hostility caused by global conflicts and simple inability to understand another point of view. In the future, this dynamics can gain critical momentum, and we, as people who see the progress of mankind in socialization, cooperation and concord, do not want let this happen.
Having this global issue, we have a motivation and an ambition to unite people in the creative environment of synergy and give them knowledge on fundamental psychological vectors to be able to come to mutual understanding and concord with different people and different mindsets.
The “SYNERGY VECTORS” project is designed to create a single platform both for the free interweaving of creative flows of talented people and for the structural building of healthy relationships between people of different psychological vectors.
The number of participants is set to 36 people and includes participating countries from different parts of Europe, such as Latvia, Italy, Czechia and Macedonia.
All participants will be divided into five groups of talents, i.e. ACTORS, WRITERS, FILMMAKERS, MUSICIANS and ARTISTS – based on the results of the application form. The final result of the united work of all groups of talents will be one short international film – check out the last year’s Synergy project HERE.
