Workgroup «Regional Culture—Identity in the Past, Identity for the Future»

Website: http://vincentdepaul.sk/socrates/

Objectives of the working group

  • draw the attention of the pupils to their rich regional culture and tradition - sharpen their awareness for their own cultural roots and establish an exchange between the participating countries («identity in the past»)
  • visions of one's own local identity in connection with a broad all-European identity («Identity for the Future»)
  • art as a means of expression for the discussion of the future cultural identity and a means to analyse one's own cultural past
  • mutual understanding, tolerance, and respect when dealing with other cultures are of special importance
  • another aim is the motivation of pupils to use several languages in their work
  • the use of new technologies as a pre-condition for communication during the project as well as the development, documentation, and presentation of the project works

Central activities

  • cooperation with regional artists and representatives of the cultural scene in workshops (organised by the schools)
  • continuous documentation and presentation using the new media
