The «KONTENTA» audiovisual studies project has been implemented and remains active in 10 locations all over Ukraine. It is the new generation’s digital infrastructure of mental resilience.
KONTENTA is a free audiovisual studio created to support the youth in creative industries. It gives young people the opportunity to work individually, conduct group classes and lectures, record vocals and musical instruments, and shoot video blogs as well as podcasts—serving as the first step towards professions related to content creation.
The main goals of Kontenta are: to popularize practices from the field of creative industries, improve the creative skills of teenagers and young people in Ukrainian communities to ensure the sustainability of the creative economy, promote the development of emotional intelligence, and improve the mental health of Kontenta’s participants through collaborative creation.
