Palhik Mana

Our mission

Palhik Mana vzw wholeheartedly embraces the journey of creating lasting positive change, with a vibrant vision, open-mindedness, and a dedication to fostering a harmonious society. We are excited to inspire and ignite creativity within individuals, guiding them to uncover and embrace their authentic power.

Palhik Mana vzw enthusiastically develops and organizes vibrant intercultural, multi-media, artistic, socio-artistic, socio-cultural, pedagogical, educational, and spiritual projects in the exciting fields of music, (social) theatre, social travel, poetry, film, video, photography, dance, literature, journalism, visual arts, multimedia, and beyond, fostering creativity and connection in every endeavor.

The focus is always on the exciting creative process, the enriching personality development of the project participants, and the uplifting growth of their positive self-image, as well as the social appreciation of the project target groups. We enthusiastically engage participants of various ages, origins, and genders, with each project thoughtfully crafted for a clearly defined target group based on their needs and aspirations. With Palhik Mana vzw, we aim to break down barriers at every level: bringing people and cultures together, learning from one another, and joyfully coaching individuals in their creative journey to transcend old ingrained norms and patterns, while fostering a deeper awareness of who they truly are and the authentic power they possess within.

In doing so, we joyfully collaborate with other organisations and talented artists, shining a bright light on their remarkable contributions as well.

‘CHANGE … is an INSIDE JOB!’: the enduring positive change and open-mindedness we cultivate not only benefits us but also positively impacts our immediate community and extends to the broader environment around us.
