What is GO Visual?
GO Visual is a national and international network of partnerships for innovation through development-visual methods, based both in physical space and located on the GO Visual virtual platform.
At the heart of GO Visual is a trust in the wisdom of communities and individuals, a belief in ongoing positive change and an enthusiasm to create innovation by pushing the boundaries of habit and by levelling the playing field and activating people who are excluded due to economic educational inequalities or health problems.
GO Visual brings together artists, NGOs, trainers (from different countries) who share a common understanding of art as a unifying language and want to commit to a higher goal – the integration and empowerment of society.
