PROJECT
FINISHED
“NasTroje” – this ambiguous title can be translated as “The three of us” or “The tools”. This group coming from three countries wants to get together 33 young people from Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, who have creative arts and studying at art schools in common. Group leaders from particular countries (2 from the Czech Republic, 2 from Poland and 3 from Slovakia) will be in charge of coordination. The project is a reaction to the previous exchanges, which took place in Poland and the Czech Republic. Our goal is to link together young people and to create films and outputs from land arts, which we will present in the form of screening in a historical space created by us. We want to link historical past with the present production and with computer software.This trilateral exchange will take place in Trenčín and within surrounding historical areas (castles such as Beckov, Čachtice or Bojnice), which are very rich in history and legends. On one side we want the students to learn with fun, offer them knowledge of Slovak history and culture even by lectures. On the other side, there are workshops and certain degree of responsibility towards the foreign guests to enable their better adaptation. We want to deal with computer skills of students as well. They will work with art programmes, which will be used for creation of art outputs – film, posters, webpage. The goal of the project is intercultural connection of the nations involved through common art production and own perception of preservation of cultural heritage at present. Methods of direct confrontation with historical castles, creative work, land arts, individual consultations with the group leaders and discussions will help the kids to get to know and understand cultural heritage of the past. The arrival of the participants is planned for 12th June 2016. The project is starting on 13th June by introduction and clarifying of activities that we will do, ice breaking though getting-to-know games. Then there will be a tour through the school and work-rooms. The guests will take part in sightseeing of Trenčín, but especially the interior of the castle afterwards. There will be a lecture on Beckov, Čachtice and Trenčín castle with an expert. We will spend the next day at Beckov and Čachtice castle. On 15th June we will move to Bojnice castle and to work-rooms of the Slovak national theatre in Bratislava, where we will take part in lecture regarding historical interiors. We will use the results and obtained materials, under supervision of an expert, for our film. We will organize a vernissage on the penultimate day – presentation of our film. The last day, 19th June, is for farewell and departure of the participants.The students will create accompanying drawings, paintings and posters with logos of the participating countries in the course of the project, which will be used for appealing exhibitions in Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland. Promotion DVD and materials will be part of it as well – bags, presentation things.
