PROJECT
FINISHED
Cultural centre Tabačka Kulturfabrik is located in Košice in the building of former tobacco company. It is functioning under civil assication Bona Fide, which was established in 1995 with an aim of support and development of alternative and independent culture.
Cultural centre Tabačka Kulturfabrik maps and presents current local and international production in music, dance, theatre, painting, literature, film, design and architecture. It is a platform for non-formal education, social projects and a space for a creativity, too. It’s a place of interesting cultural events, fun and action. It helps with the presentation of artists and projects from Košice and eastern Slovakia abroad. Centre is focused on culture and activities connected with its creation, its production, presentation and cooperation in the field of art and creative industry with interaction with local and international artists.
In our current phase we consider it as very important to send but as well to receive new impolses, energy from other countries and their cultures. Active participation of the volunteers in this process will bring them many newly gained skills but, at the same time, it will bring new fresh air into our team and whole hosting organization. Everyday contact with the functioning of the centre, planning and programming of the activites in Tabačka Kulturfabrik will offer to volunteers many inputs and will encourage their professional and personal development. Each and every of the selected participants has close relationship towards the art, both in terms of its creation or organization (production). Thus we believe that their participation on the project can significantly influence their professional focus and direction.
Within the planned activities of volunteers there is also a space created for their own initiative and realization of their own ideas. Tabačka Kulturfabrik is basically international environment were volunteers will meet artists, audience, members of a local community and wide visiting public. Interaction and involvement of all participant offers many opportunities to reflect on their behavioral and thinking patterns as well as to naming and confrontation of the possible prejudices.
