The Region of Crete is backing a series of experiential arts workshops under the ACTSAFE programme, organized by the NGO RUNONART. The initiative uses artistic activities as a tool for social change, community advocacy, and personal empowerment. ACTSAFE brings together participants from across the island to engage in hands-on creative sessions designed to strengthen civic awareness and social inclusion. The programme reflects Crete's broader commitment to supporting cultural and community-driven projects through regional funding. For visitors interested in local culture and social arts, the workshops offer a chance to connect with Cretan communities beyond traditional tourism. Specific dates, locations, and registration details for upcoming sessions are available directly through RUNONART. This type of initiative is part of an active regional arts scene that runs throughout the year alongside Crete's main cultural calendar.
