ECCE! brings together a team with extensive experience in project design, cultural production, education, and social engagement. What follows is a selection of past work carried out by our members, from international collaborations and field-based initiatives to artistic direction, policy input, and technical coordination.
This background reflects not just the range of contexts we’ve worked in, but the skills we now apply: proposal writing, stakeholder engagement, non-formal education design, participatory methods, and sustainable spatial planning. These foundations inform how we build, facilitate and collaborate today.
We have co-shaped, written or coordinated dozens of project proposals, from local initiatives to large EU consortia, across funding streams like Horizon, CERV, EU4Health, Creative Europe and national frameworks, including Greece’s NSRF (ESPA) and philanthropic foundations in Greece.
Our team knows how to build proposals that are bold in vision, grounded in context and realistic in planning.
We bring in Theory of Change logic, participatory foresight, and smart articulation of impact paths, not just as buzzwords, but as working methods.
Most recently, we’ve contributed to two proposals as part of active consortia: one for CERV-2025-CHILD, and one under Creative Europe (CREA-COOP-2).
We design, and take part in cultural experiences that bring people together, Across stage, street, and screen.
From scenographic environments to performative interventions, our work blurs the line between audience and participant, structure and improvisation.
We see cultural production as a space of dialogue, intercultural, intergenerational, and transnational. A space for ritual, play, reflection, and repair. We are drawn to projects that hold emotional weight and social resonance, that offer forms of presence not just performance.
We understand culture not as showcase, but as interface, a space where imagination becomes shared ground.

Art in action: mobilizing local voices through visual storytelling
We have collaborated with international agencies, local authorities, and civil society actors, bringing experience from both humanitarian fieldwork and institutional ecosystems. We understand how empowerment happens,.
But also how it’s sustained.
We like to work with, not for, communities navigating exclusion, displacement or systemic neglect.
Our actions include non-formal education, advocacy, capacity building and participatory artistic processes, all rooted in trust and co-presence.
Curating and coordinating civic dialogues on justice, equity, and inclusion .
Empowering women.Training vulnerable communities to stitch resilience into livelihoods.
Participating from the ground up: community presence and civic expression
Co-designing solutions through community-led focus groups.
We design educational processes that go beyond the classroom, working with refugees, adolescents, patients, and other communities often left at the margins of learning systems. Our focus is on access, agency, and relevance: we see education as a social act and a political right.
We support informal learning spaces that nurture participation, curiosity and personal growth, while also inspiring re-entry into formal education and advocating for better, more inclusive curricula.
Whether co-shaping empowerment programs or facilitating critical dialogue, we believe that learning happens wherever people come together with purpose.

Space is not a backdrop. It’s a field of agency, care and contestation. Our work spans ecological planning, temporary structures, and sustainable design strategies rooted in context and community. From refugee shelters to public space interventions, we combine technical know-how with an ethos of spatial justice.
We engage with eco-sociology, biomaterial thinking and participatory landscape design, while also supporting research into architectural utopias, vernacular construction, and poly-urban logics. Nature is not a resource. It’s a collaborator.
