Yes! All Animation Incubator projects are run under the non-profit Animest NGO. We want our programs to be accessible to all teenagers, so participation is completely free.
The community is open to teenagers interested in film, animation, and digital arts. You don’t need any prior experience or drawing skills to join — everyone is welcome, whether you want to create, watch, or discuss films. Our programs aim to enrich educational opportunities in digital art for young people in Romania, Bulgaria, and Moldova in a fun and inclusive environment.
The first step is to join the Animation Incubator community here. Once you’re a member, you’ll receive updates and registration information for all upcoming projects.
Our main community hub is a Discord server, moderated by our team. Projects take place online as well as in-person across Romania and Bulgaria. You can follow us on Instagram @theanimationincubator for updates.
You can support our initiative in several ways
- Follow us, share our work and projects on social media @theanimationincubator
- Redirect 3.5% of your income tax to the Animest NGO (Romania)
- Contact us if you’d like to help or collaborate in other ways — we love to hear from you!
