Overview
Your project (or as they like to call it, Act of Exuberant Defiance) can be whatever you want it to be! Just make sure that it is creative, engaging, and seeks to honour the principles of their Humanifesto. It should also address itself to one of their six themes which are:
Resist; Insight/Incite; Respect; Reform; Regroup & Renew; Revolution.
Once they receive your information, they will see how they can link you up with what you need to produce your Act. They also advise you to follow their socials to find potential collaborators.
