Action center (culture)
Action centers in the educational and cultural sense are institutions in which active action in the educational and cultural process has priority over passive listening. Therefore, in the field of education, experiential approaches are often the focus. In the field of culture, too, it is about the close networking of communication and action , which are intended to advance development, environmental or socio-political processes, for example.
