Main objective: Strengthening the bilateral relations between Romania and Norway in the context of „Timișoara ECC 2023, through Caleido Festival 2023, event which celebrates diversity and intercultural dialogue
Secondary objectives:
1) Increasing access to RO and NO cultural events (theater, dance and performance) until the end of the project for at least 1000 people who will participate in the Caleido Festival, facilitating in the long run the stimulation of higher cultural consumption among the target group;
2) Increasing the artistic skills of at least 36 artists from RO until the end of the
Summary of the results
First of all, free access to 18 Romanian and 2 Norwegian shows was granted for 1205 participants. Participation in cultural acts to which the Timișoara public has limited access, financially conditional or not at all, was thus facilitated, thus stimulating a greater openness to participation in the next cultural acts presented at the local level.
Secondly, 40 professional and amateur artists participated in the two artistic workshops coordinated by Jonas Oren and Francesco Scavetta, respectively.
5 Caleido Talks were organized, attended by 50 participants. The public met with 7 Romanian professionals, respectively 2 Norwegian ones from the fields of art, culture, psychology, philosophy, economy, etc. These discussions, debates, invitations to dialogue have fulfilled their purpose of reducing the gap between the general public and professionals, regardless of the field we are talking about. The guests, through the themes addressed and the format of the meetings, were able to question present realities, to value the multiplicity of perspectives and artistic actions, and to capitalize on the much-needed context of common reflection.
