SPIRITUS LOCI - Partnership of places, communities and art forms for an education to beauty

Description

Spiritus Loci aims to recover a physical and spiritual experience of space through art that makes it possible again the continuous dialogue with memories, lights, shadows and the new needs, facilitating the re-adjustment between the person, the collective and his place. A moment that awakens the attention for those neglected and careless places that allows to every person to acquire the “consciousness of the living”, a real process that is triggered by a conversation between our own essence and the places, as suggested by the anthropologist La Cecla.The advent of Covid-19, instead, has radically changed the destiny of the cultural sector, leading to the loss of jobs for many cultural associations. But the cultural and creative sector can contribute for a sustainable development: rethinking the purpose and the meaning of public spaces, bridging the gaps of cultural poverty, promoting new models of economic and employment growth, repairing social fractures and bringing new projects to forgotten territories. Six organisations from 5 European countries, Italy, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece and Lithuania, have taken up this challenge, being conscious that together we can better face with this problem which covers the whole Europe.The general aim of the project is to deal with the crisis caused by the European pandemic through creativity, meanwhile looking for innovation and transnational cooperation, unlocking the potential of young people through new artistic languages. The specific objective is to develop innovative and creative learning pathways for direct and final audiences acting in the cultural sector with new technologies. According to this challenge, in each partner country, the commitment will be focused on the development and the evaluation of results with the direct beneficiaries: managers of cultural associations, junior and senior volunteers, cultural operators, individual and associate artists, educators and trainers, students, scientific and cultural communicators, and supporters. The direct recipients will develop along with young volunteers, junior artists, university students, and young cultural operators. It will be realized a path of 300 hours of training, involving a total of more than 150 participants. 12 staff teachers/researchers will benefit by 50 hours of training on digital skills and among external stakeholders, with the events we expect to reach directly 200 recipients and indirectly more than 30,000, through the multiple online channels.The methodology applied allows the acquisition on the ground of effective collaborative practices, based on the experience of transnational cooperation, which at local level will strengthen the integrated territorial networks, contributing to the dissemination of this intergenerational learning opportunities. The composite curriculum includes distance training (synchronous and asynchronous) integrated to the activities in presence, on the field and project work, with the realization of an event by the participants.The use of virtual environments and multimedia will be harmonized to the actions in the presence, with productions aimed to attract general public, expanding the audience permitting to the production of Spiritus Loci being accessible online and so on different devices and in the different partners’ languages as well as in English to ensure its replicability. The potential multiplier effect in Italy could be important, given the capillarity of the Pro Loco and the success of the Universal Civil Service as a bridge to the labour market, as well as in Germany and Lithuania, in the universities, as an example of extra-curricular activities to acquire key competences such as cultural and artistic expressions, digital and intercultural skills. In the same way in Greece and Bulgaria, the proposal has good opportunities to take root in educational practices for young people interested in pursuing a professional career in this sector with a specialization in art and new technologies. This methodological choice relies on the need to focus the path to the actual and concrete realisation of an event, orienting the role of the teacher, artist or senior organiser to a function of support, accompaniment, facilitation, guidance.The key words that generally identify the expected impacts of the project are inclusion and creative innovation of the new generations. The experience of Spiritus Loci will provide an opportunity to contribute to the national and European debate on the digital transition and the effects that this transformation, accelerated by the pandemic, will have on educational systems, non-formal adult education and culture.The intellectual outputs are:IO1. Education to Beauty Curriculum (blended).IO2. Education to Beauty Digital Storytelling and Video Documentary.IO3. Interactive toolkit (MOOC and Audio-book).
