European Puppetry Knowledge Exchange
Start date: May 1, 2013,

Partners of the EPKE project believe that this project not merely reflects our own wishes for realizing common creative and educational puppet agenda, but also offers solutions or facilitations of larger, European-wide issues. EPKE project is contextualized within cultural, educational and social dimensions. We offer educational solution to social problems within culture field.To ease the growing problems of puppet-making profession deficiency and lack of knowledge transfer between generations as well as between different cultures, we propose the EPKE project. The project includes:-exchanges of local knowledge of puppet-making,-transnational circulation of cultural workers as a way to get experiences, -research and work on productions, -educational seminars and networking of puppet professionals.These activities will result in puppet-makers being better equipped with traditional and contemporary knowledge, vocational reader being published, new network being established and three truly joint co-productions of puppet performances being realized, so also our audiences could enjoy participation of other partners' cultures, skills and knowledge in their favorite local venue. At the same time, project EPKE will follow innovative promotion ideas and try to facilitate labour market access to young puppet-makers.LGL, DRAK and NUKU form stable partnership, capable of realizing proposed activities and meeting project aims. At the same time partners can also see strong potentials for further development and follow-ups of the EPKE project and the partnership, oriented toward educational and cultural fields on European and international level.
