Tiliade unique mix
Why Tiliade? So that growing up and living in a rural area gives young people the chance to encounter art and to find or create spaces where their voices can be heard.
Our tools? Collective intelligence, creativity and cultural exchange, brought to life through co-creation workshops and events. To weave our lives together.
Our secret sauce?
We create workshops and events with and for young people, where they can meet, experiment, speak up and find their place within the group.
Creativity is at the heart of the way we work. We combine different forms and languages — multimedia tools, visual arts and live performance — so that everyone can find their own way to tell stories and take part.
Our projects are spaces for co-creation and collective intelligence, bringing together generations, cultures, backgrounds and perspectives, where we learn from one another by doing things together.
Our rural identity is rooted in our territory and explores our relationship with the living world, unfolding in homes, gardens, forests and village squares.
Our team, a collective strength
Meet our team and its superpowers, combined to create fireworks in each of our projects. Our association operates under shared governance, a horizontal model where each member chooses to take on one or more roles, responding to the needs of the projects as well as their personal aspirations.
