We are an open house, a place for cultural and social encounters, a place for all who live and work in the city of Leuven and its region. We join this project specifically because of De FactorY, which is a structural part of the work of 30CC. De FactorY (literally translated: The Factory) is a social artistic project in plastic art and is meant for and dedicated to sociably vulnerable people, people at risk of social exclusion. Through active and passive art education in an informal way people get a more active place in society and a growing feeling of selfesteem. De FactorY is a place to get out of isolation, make social contact, to grow as an artist, to build a positive identity. webesite |
