Workshops

We will organize five workshops in the partner countries for art school students. During the workshops young participants will learn to work with innovative tools and solutions with long-term positive impact on their career and master new creative ways to tackle environmental challenges based on traditional handicrafts methods and techniques. At the beginning of the workshop, a guest educator from a partner country will visit an educational institute in another partner country and deliver practice-oriented lectures about specific subjects which refer to the fields of traditional craft techniques and intangible cultural heritage know-how of her/his own country. The task of the different school groups is to create new design products relying upon the previous lectures and their own research with the assistance of a local teacher/educators in the traditional art and culture of the partner country. In these works, they have to unify tradition with modern trends. They will make contemporary artworks based on traditional knowledge, fill the tradition with modern meaning and using cutting-edge technologies, and meanwhile they get to know our European heritage.
