Under the direction of Laura Gary, Nina Spiri, Yuliya Dzichkouskaya, and Tomek Krynicki, fabrik Potsdam is collaborating with Fundacja Sanatorium Somatyczne (PL) to implement the Erasmus+ project Living Borders with funding from the European Union.
Living Borders explores how somatic practice, movement, and embodied learning can open up new forms of dialogue in interpersonal, social, and geographical border areas. The focus is on how bodywork can be used as a tool for encounter, participation, and collective learning processes.
The project brings together artists, educators, and participants from different contexts and creates spaces for:
- Exchange about somatic (body-based) learning methods
- Strengthening resilience and self-awareness
- Promoting inclusion and transcultural dialogue
- Developing sustainable formats for adult education and community work
Through workshops, labs, and joint research phases, a space for practice and experience is created in which movement is not only an artistic medium but also a social bridge.
Living Borders stands for the conviction that learning is an embodied process - and that body awareness and shared movement open up new perspectives on coexistence, diversity, and European solidarity.
