Let’s discover our European cultural history for our common future! Discovering Gothic art by eyes, ears, touch, speech, dance and especially by heart. |
|
|---|---|
| When: | from 19/09/2012 to 25/09/2012 |
| Where: | Kutná Hora, Czech Republic |
| Organizer: | Baribal o.s. (civil society organization) |
| About project: | Architectural styles have bond Europe for many hundreds of years. But how many Europeans realize that? Our workshop shall open our hearts, minds and senses to our common culture. You will discover a fascinating story of history of the gothic period. You shall investigate how the gothic architecture had linked the Europe together and if/how your country had influenced the gothic culture. We shall reveal similar architectural details, which can be found through all Europe. |
| Why Gothic era? | Gothic represented a unified architectural and cultural style across most of the Europe, which had extended between 13 and 15 century. It had common details and background, but also had developed through different phases and very specific forms. Gothic represents in its core a very uncommon unity in difference. It can be very inspirational even today. In addition the gothic architecture had uniquely intertwined and absorbed medieval theology and scholastic and had expressed common Christian spirituality and spiritual yearnings. And we, organizers, want to present this complex and unique age to general public. |
| Specific goals: | The best-known examples of the gothic art are gothic cathedrals. They have the same archetype, but each is unique and exceptional. Cathedrals often underwent a complex individual development. During our workshop we shall explain and demonstrate these individualities on exceptional examples in Prague and Kutna Hora. |
| Role of individuals: | Important influence during this age had so called cathedral workshops.
Their members had travelled through the whole Christian Europe and had
passed on their experience. One example of such members is the family of Parlers. The most celebrated member of this family is Petr Parler who had became the best-known builder of the Sant Vitus cathedral in Prague. However other members of the family had worked through the Europe - in Switzerland, German states, Czech kingdom, Austria or Croatia. They had united the culture of whole Europe with their work. |
| Target group(s): | The offer of the workshops is addressed to adult
persons, inhabitants of EU member countries with a strong interest in
national and European culture, as well as to people of broad artistic
and historic interests. We are keen to encourage people who have not
taken part in an international event like this before, in particular
learners who have left education without basic qualifications and who
would like to broaden their knowledge in an intercultural context. Also
the participation of persons from vulnerable social groups /long-term
unemployed, people living in rural or economically disadvantaged areas,
representatives of ethnic or other minorities, people over 50 years/
will be encouraged.
Expected number of participants: We plan to organize workshops for 15 |
| Main activities / programme of the Workshop: | We shall discover links through the gothic Europe by all senses: - by eyes (the city walk and visiting cathedrals in Prague and Kutná Hora) - by ears (creation and performance of a theatre play with a gothic background) - by speech (discussions about influences on gothic architecture, comparison of the gothic period in different countries) - by touch (creation of theatre scenery with gothic theme) - by motions (basic gothic dance performace) - but most of all, by heart |
| Expected outputs (especially in terms of the learning outcomes for the participants): |
- Participants shall get familiar with the gothic cultural heritage.
They will compare their newly acquired experiences with development of
gothic in their own country and also in countries of other participants. - Participants will realize how tight were bonds in the Europe in gothic era. - Participants will develop their of motion and art abilities. |
| Accommodation: | Kutna Hore was selected as place where gothic era is still strongly preserved and is easily reachable from Prague, where participants will arrive. |
| Partners: | This project is funded by Grundtvig – The European Union's Lifelong learning programme. |
