Where creativity and business meet
ANIMA MUNDI ACADEMIA (AMA) and IAF ANIMA MUNDI is an alliance designed to unite art and culture with science-based organizations and innovative professionals. Our programs are becoming increasingly interdisciplinary and involve a diverse sector of activities.
IAF ANIMA MUNDI association was born to be the platform of a new high culture, longing for transcendence and real meaning. Association is an international organization bringing together culture, arts, science and education. Its members are individuals and institutions working in these fields. Our goal is to help the free creation and spread of innovative ideas to bring together artists, innovators, science, cultural and education operators for joint projects that would help to express ideas and reflect the current situation. We join our ideas through the art. As art is one of the basic social needs to which everyone has a right. It is a way of thinking. Critical thinking is the right of the artist and becomes evident in artistic practices.
ANIMA MUNDI ACADEMIA (AMA) Founded as an high order institution providing learning and tutorial environment for students and teachers from different countries, diverse social, economic and ethnic backgrounds. The Academy preserves and transmits the knowledge, wisdom and values that will serve for humanity, to develop an understanding and appreciation for the complex cultural and physical worlds where we live and to realize the highest potential of intellectual, physical and human development.
At present, one of our projects is Social Practice Art. This artistic disipline includes community based art; a collaborative and public driven effort engaged in social issues and practices. Social practice is currently on the rise in many parts of the world. Of note, is rapidly on the increase in The United States as well as across the European Union. Social art projects are becoming more visually apparent at numerous art exhibitions worldwide, and have been touted by an increasing number of art critics and media outlets which highlight these works. The developmental directions of social practice art projects are very diverse. Currently, many projects are moving onto a virtual platform. We at AMA, have been at the forefront of a migrating academy, an idea that has seen its maturation over the past year. The establishment of this virtual platform has secured a wide space for both academic training and the audiovisual creative industry.
Social and business co-creation projects connects social entrepreneur (AMA) and businesses with complementary strengths to collaborate for the biggest social impact. Co-creation becomes a way to address societal issues at scale and create new value.

It creats the employee engagement and creats the space for public-private investments to societal changes and the most important thing is that such projects reinforce a “positive economy”.
