MENTOR KIT is an educational project in the field of intermedia arts. Workshops, open labs, production, and interactive lectures are some of the principle methods we pursue. Our efforts and activities in 2017 are an upgrade and enhancement of last year's educational program, especially in terms of knowledge exchange, creative workshops, and production.

MENTOR KIT connects partner organizations Zavod 404, Pina Koper, Delavski dom Trbovlje, MIKK Murska Sobota, and ACE KIBLA on a national level. The project is based on an exchange of good practices and connecting topics from the fields of art, technology, and non-formal education as we know them in 21st century society.

Intermedia production for the season 2017 will be presented at the KIBLIX Festival Exhibition in the fall of 2017; the topics explored by artists in contemporary intermedia arts are also the topics of our non-formal educational program activities, carried out by the participating organizations. Workshops focus in particular on the following ideas and/or issues: the human body, technology and personality, artistic exploration of the human perception of existence, movement and migration, environmental issues, biology, nature, social structures, etc.

All participating organizations contribute their part to a common exploration, creation, and production of works and ideas; workshops are often carried out as a joint product by some or all of the partners.

MENTOR KIT is part of ACE KIBLA's non-formal educational program, supported by the Public Fund for Cultural Activities of the Republic of Slovenia, and part of the project Risk Change, co-financed by the Creative Europe program of the European Union.
