FAIDRA – Family separation through immigration: dramatising anedoctal european history

Programme and call

Creative Europe – Call for European cooperation projects 2016

Short description

The project aims to tell, through documentary theatre, the stories of ordinary European families who have experienced immigration in different circumstances and periods of their country’s recent past. The separation and reunification, the adaptation to another culture, the rejection, the difficult search for a balance to reconcile work and family in two different countries and in a foreign context, the successes and failures, all this will be sewn together to create a joint theatrical performance, which will be staged in partner countries. In addition, the original documentation made available by the people involved will become the subject of a travelling exhibition on the theme of immigration and family separation, both for those who have been forced to live it, and for those who voluntarily decided to take up a life away from home.

InEuropa srl supports Teatro dei Venti in the management of the project.

Objectives

– develop the genre of documentary theatre using a variety of expressive forms such as acting, dance, stilts, storytelling, audiovisual and digital technology;

– create a multicultural artistic product that can circulate and be shared by a wide audience, following an audience development strategy aimed at specific target groups and the general public at European level, translating the products into 7 European languages;

– exploit the documentation collected during the project for educational purposes, addressing both young artists interested in documentary theatre and its artistic potential, and the general public, including students, who will learn more about intra-EU immigration, the social and European integration issues related to it and the interpretations and illustrations that art offers of this phenomenon.

 

Actions

The main activities of the project consist of:

– analytical research activities on the phenomenon of migration and family separation within 3 pairs of countries that have respectively sent and received migrants: Romania-Italy, Bulgaria-Greece, Poland-Sweden

– field research activities, interviewing immigrant communities and investigating the circumstances in which immigration took place and the positive and negative effects on their family life

– Theatre workshops in the 3 host countries (Greece, Sweden and Italy) involving immigrants in order to share their stories and create a draft story to represent.

– production of a joint show between the partners, formed by the stories produced by the 3 pairs of countries and united within a common scenario

– performance representation in Greece, Sweden and Bulgaria

– organisation of international seminars for artists and actors in all partner countries

– international exhibition on intra-European migration and family separation that collects all the materials produced in the initial research phase of the project. The exhibition will be mostly digital and therefore easily transferable and usable in different contexts (schools, municipalities, organizations, etc.).

 

Results

The main expected results are:

– improvement of the international cooperation and co-production skills of the artists involved and of their own skills in the following areas: documentary theatre, artists’ training and audience development. Increased opportunities for international mobility for artists and professionals to create a multicultural performance;

– Awareness raising and increase of public knowledge on intra-European migration and family separation, appreciation of the genre of documentary theatre and the social role of theatre as a tool to bring social issues to the attention and contribute to social cohesion;

– greater involvement of the public through innovative ICT technologies

– greater integration of migrant communities into the cultural activities of the host societies and their active involvement in the project activities.

Objective

The aim of the project is to facilitate an intercultural and shared reflection on what has been the persecution of mentally ill people during European totalitarianism, not only to recover their memory, but also to guide, with the support of European professionals and bodies active in the field, young Europeans in a process of de-stigmatization of mental illness and suggest solutions for social inclusion in the present.

 

Actions

– Research conducted by European students on the subject;

– Organisation of 8 events including an initial and a final symposium, travelling exhibitions, performances of performing arts, workshops;

– Mobility of European students and young people;

– Production of videos, films and documentaries related to the project.

 

Results

These are the main expected results:

– Activation of participation processes, in particular of groups at risk of social exclusion, which will benefit from the training experience of the project;

– Networking at transnational level between bodies and professionals in the sector;

– Reflection among citizens at European level on issues related to European memory and current social inclusion policies.

Undercreative Network: between arts and creativy

Project number 1714/001- 001CE CULT2015/COOP

Programme and call
Creative Europe – Sub-programme Culture – Call for proposals EACEA 32/2014 for European Cooperation projects

Short description
Undercreative Network is a transnational project co-financed by the Community programme Creative Europe – Culture Sub-programme within the 2014 call. InEuropa srl has carried out the project-design and currently supports the lead partner in the management.

Objectives
Undercreative Network aims to create a transnational network between “creative ateliers of performing arts”, suburban academies operating in different artistic sectors in close contact with their audiences through permanent courses and the possibility of hosting a theatre season in a small internal theatre.
The network aims to: internationalise its activities; promote the transnational mobility of artists and works; better reach and expand suburban audiences; create lasting relationships between European artistic bodies for both training and production activities; promote creativity between young people and artists, integrating different artistic languages.
The partnership will work to integrate their training sessions and theatrical stations to co-produce 4 shows that bring together different artistic styles; use different artistic and creative techniques to make the “message” understandable to all (eg. the film method of the storyboard applied to the theater); organize the promotion of these shows during local festivals.
Finally, a Charter of Creative Performing Arts Workshops will be created: an agreement between the project partners and other European bodies with the same interest in internationalising creative activities, integrating artistic languages, bringing European thinking to the stage and establishing lasting cultural relations.

Actions

The project initially includes a study phase on the characters who best represent the European genius in the various countries involved. Afterwards, training sessions will be organized at local level in all countries with exchanges of artists to familiarize themselves with the different artistic languages of the other partners. This will allow to start the pre-production phase at national level and then the transnational co-production phase that will take place through itinerant artistic residencies that will allow to build a unique performance that makes dialogue between the chosen characters and the different artistic languages. This joint co-production will be hosted in the theatre seasons of the partner institutions as well as in other festivals in the same countries.

Results
The main expected results of Undercreative Network are:

– Creation of a stable network of European creative ateliers through the signing of the Charter
– Production of new artistic approaches at European level capable of increasing the development of the public also in a suburban environment
– Creating a sense of belonging and European identity
– Increase transnational productions and artistic exchanges on a stable basis through follow-up actions
– Promoting people’s creativity in Europe.

MEDIA AND HISTORY. From cinema to the web. Studying, representing and teaching European History in the digital era 

Project number 2015-1-IT02-KA201-014777

Program Name
ERASMUS PLUS – Cooperation for innovation and exchange of good practices – Strategic partnership for school education – Call for proposals 2015

Lead partner institution
Institute for the History and Memories of
the ‘900 Parri

Short description
The E-story project originates from the awareness that digital integration in teaching and training is now a necessary step for European schools, especially with regard to the teaching of history. Despite the fact that most European students are “born digital”, multimedia and audiovisual sources still represent an unexplored potential in the teaching of history from a European perspective. Hence the idea of a project aimed precisely at the media literacy of teachers and the introduction of new teaching methods that make the subject more attractive to students.

Objective
The aim of the E-story project is to enrich the teaching of history, especially at high school level, through the teaching of new methodologies based on the use of web and ICTs to teachers, teacher trainers, researchers and students of history and media.

Actions

– Mapping of audiovisual and multimedia resources for the development of an Observatory that can monitor how the representation of media and television history changes;
– development of a digital learning environment for history teachers to guide them through e-workshops on the use of a content management system (CMS) in order to create their own applications and lessons;
– a shared design of a training package on media literacy in order to promote the knowledge and development of skills related to how to use the web and audiovisual tools for objective reading of history and the acquisition of new tools for teaching history so as to make it more innovative and more attractive for students;
– establishment of an online support centre to facilitate the use of project tools;
– Creation of dedicated resources and apps by teachers and students to test the project tools at local level;
– Multiple events to allow exchange of experiences and follow-up of the dialogue of history teaching through the web.

Results
These are the main expected results of E-STORY:

– mapping and continuous investigation of historical channels, sites and audiovisual resources in order to have data on the representation of history on the web and the interests of European citizens;
– dissemination of the “historical method”: choice by teachers of multimedia and audiovisual sources among the multitude of those available, in order to build a lesson;
– new teaching strategies and methodologies;
– virtual mobility of teachers and students through project tools;
– at least 42 open educational resources of a historical nature, one produced by each class involved in the project.

Beneficiaries
Higher education teachers and students, researchers

ANHER

, ,

AHNER project

The Anher project is co-financed by the Erasmus plus – VET program and involves 6 partners from 6 European countries: Poland, Holland, Spain, England, Portugal and Italy. The project aims to increase the skills of professionals working in the fields of archaeological heritage and environmental heritage. The two areas (archaeological/cultural and environmental/natural) are considered as distinct and not integrated into all the laws of the countries involved.

The project, therefore, intends to produce a series of innovative teaching materials that can bridge this gap in the relationship between archaeological/cultural heritage and environmental/natural heritage.

The need to develop and improve professional skills in the field of protection and management of archaeological and natural heritage is increasingly felt taking into account the dynamic changes in recent years in both sectors in Europe, changes that require new and integrated protection and management methods of the archaeological and natural heritage sectors in the partner countries.

The project is a first attempt to produce integrated educational materials and tools  that are addressed to archaeological heritage professionals and professionals working in the naturalistic field. High-quality training materials will be produced following a detailed analysis of the relevant professional training in Europe in both areas.

 

In order to achieve these objectives, the Anher project is divided into the following phases:

  • preliminary research phase, aimed at mapping effective educational experiences both in the environmental and archaeological fields. Through a survey with questionnaires and interviews with sector professionals, the respective training needs of the two areas are identified: archaeological, cultural and environmental/natural;
  • a phase of construction of training courses: 10 training modules are created through the collaboration of all partners, which are accessible from an interactive platform tested in a previous Leonardo project. These teaching materials are used for the construction of personalized courses based on the needs expressed by the final beneficiaries;
  • ANHER also intends to create Centers of Integrated Heritage Teaching Excellence in each partner country, aimed at providing a permanent organizational structure for training activities in the domain of integrated heritage, archeology and environment;

• pilot phase during which training courses was tested in each country.

RESCUE

REgeneration of disused Industrial Sites through Creativity in Europe

Programme and call

Creative Europe, CULTURE Sub-programme, Cultural cooperation projects – Call 2019

Active project

Short description

The project stems from the shared desire of the RESCUE consortium to promote, publicize and revive some pages of the history of work in disused industrial sites, huge structures and crucial places for local communities and entire regions, now abandoned and forgotten, in order to contribute to their revitalization through culture.

Because of its long industrial history and the changes in production patterns experienced over time, Europe is today the continent with the largest tangible and intangible industrial heritage in the world. Industrial heritage is a profoundly European theme and, although national histories may differ in detail, it remains one of the main common denominators of Europe. Industrial heritage includes both tangible assets – real estate and furniture – and intangible dimensions such as technical know-how, the organisation of work and workers, and the complex social and cultural heritage that has shaped the life of communities and brought about major organisational changes in entire societies and in the world at large.

The tangible and intangible components of industrial heritage are an essential part of the shared European identity as they reflect a rich history of interaction through the transfer of knowledge and skills, technology and processes across national borders. However, this heritage is highly vulnerable and has often been lost due to a lack of awareness, documentation, recognition or protection, but also due to changing economic trends, difficult environmental issues and its enormous size and complexity.

To prevent the memory and meaning of these sites from being lost, it is necessary to intervene with initiatives to recreate and reuse the spaces, opening them to the public and to entrepreneurial and socio-cultural activities.

 

Objectives

– provide an overview of the history of work linked to the former industrial sites located in the participating countries

– to involve young students and cultural companies in a programme of study, research and artistic interpretation of life and events in those places

– to preserve the memory and the significance of former industrial sites as founding elements in the creation of a shared European identity

– Activate a process of urban regeneration through performing arts

Actions

The main activities of the project consist of:

– School research workshops actively involving students to investigate the complex relationship between local industrial heritage, its history and the perception of local citizens in this regard

– Script development and production of works / shows in all partner countries

– A transnational residency to work on a co-production or workshop

– Analysis and tools to implement new strategies for urban regeneration of disused industrial sites through creativity

– Exchange of best practices related to the regeneration of disused industrial sites through creativity and sharing of an innovative management model for the enhancement and regeneration of disused industrial sites through art

– Public events for the dissemination of knowledge about the European history of the workforce and the conservation / enhancement of industrial heritage

– Communication, dissemination and audience development tools and actions

 

Results

– Revitalization of disused industrial sites through visual and performing arts;

– Improvement of artistic and professional skills;

– Increased and diversified public;

– Better knowledge of the history of places;

– Opening and visiting disused sites;

– Increased perception of the value of industrial heritage and its conservation/revitalisation;
