PARTNERS

WHAT TO EXPECT? We gonna have fun, but we will also work hard. During the training course, based on the alternative museum methodology, we will create four experiential installations on different topics providing a non-formal learning experience to 120 children and youth from rural area.

The context is non-formal - learning by doing. We will mix.

We expect everyone to be active, to share, and be open to learning and connecting with others. We want this experience to build strong partnerships & friendships between us.

The final outcomes depend on the involvement of all of us. The creation process requires patience, resilience, positive attitudes, the capacity to deal with the lack of resources, and kindness to yourself and other.

WHAT TO PREPARE?

a method, an instrument, a tool related to art & culture

food, clothes and artistic moments for the intercultural events + a flag of your country/region

an art piece representing your local cultural heritage
