Students from Kedi Art studio participated in the Con Spirito competition and did very well
Con Spirito is a unique Cultural Society, Culture with Enthusiasm, which was established in 2003. They are passionate about culture and give every child the opportunity to live out his or her talents. They specialise in any form of culture and aim to:
• Promote culture
• Create opportunities
• Discover and develop talent
Various kinds of cultural competitions are presented annually to offer opportunities to those who are not always presented with such a prospect in his/her school. Any school/organisation may participate in Con Spirito. In the Con Spirito Once-Off Competition at beginning of the year, Kedi Art’s students did very well and earned 7 places.
