Showcase your artwork and help raise awareness around critical issues linked to the environmental transition!
ACCTING is excited to launch the “Better Art Stories” campaign, aiming to showcase artworks that trigger behavioural change, promote social inclusion, and resolve conflicts. As part of our ongoing commitment to researching what hinders and helps behavioural change of specifically marginalised populations, we saw how art can play a positive role in many respects.
