Description
The project proposal ‘FestivitIN’ the Neighbourhood’ /FINN/ has the goal to contribute to the process of reducing economic and social disparities in the EEA, by implementing cultural activities, promoting cultural cooperation and heritage and at the same time strengthening social and economic development of the region. The specific project goals are: - To develop the capacity of cultural operators in the diversity of arts and culture, with a search for compatibility and complementarity in their presentation to the public; - To form a favourable environment for intercultural communication /neighbourhood, city, region/ and to contribute to overcome community isolation through development of existing and creating of new cultural products, including new audiences. The project goals will be achieved through realization of a complex of activities, including: - Local culture operators training; - Development of a Plan for attraction of audiences; - Events, outside the city center /creative workshop/; - Events on a local and on a national level – tours. These activities will be implemented in partnership with 4 local and 1 Norwegian organization. Experts and artists from the region, the country, Kingdom of Norway and other European countries will be involved. ‘FestivitIN’ the Neighbourhood’ is an overall concept to activate the urban neighbourhoods by the means of art. The activity envisages creation of a new cultural form of communication and interaction between artists and audiences, based on human sensibility. So, as different arts influence different senses, the project combines arts and stage forms into a series of festival modules, addressed to the general public of 5 different urban areas. Thus, the art - visual, musical, interactive, from merely visual and auditory perception, turns into an instrument of inclusion and growth, developing the sensibility of the audience.
