MATERA 2019 GCTO TRAINING WEEK
As part of the Get Close to Opera EU-funded project, RESEO members are invited to take part in a 5-day training from 25 February 2019 until 1 March 2019 in Matera, Italy, site of the 2019 European Capital of Culture.
The training week will include 7 workshops on the application of the Multiple Intelligences Theory, design and evaluation of art projects, co-creation of participatory intercultural arts projects, accessibility and multiculturalism in arts, gender perspective in arts and the legacy of arts and opera. These will be accompanied by practical activities, knowledge-sharing sessions and evening talks.
During the training week participants will be tasked to develop artistic pilot projects, performances, workshops and other activities involving migrants, refugees and people from disadvantaged backgrounds based on the GCTO inputs and methodology. They will then be expected to test these activities back home at a local level throughout 2019.
