ПОВИК ЗА ПАРТНЕРСТВО ВО ИСТРАЖУВАЧКИ ПРОЕКТ ЗА ИНТЕРКУЛТУРЕН ДИЈАЛОГ МЕЃУ МЛАДИТЕ ЛУЃЕ Call for partners: We are looking for partners in a bid to the EU Culture Programme to work with us to explore the place of culture and creativity in facilitating intercultural dialogue between young people. We are interested in finding 3 European partners from a range of organisations, providing different perspectives on the activity. These might be a teacher training organisation, a youth organisation, a community partner, a local government partner or a cultural organisation. The deadline for bids is early October and, if successful, the two year project will run from April 2011 – March 2013. The focus of the bid is on exploring ways that creative/arts practices, across different countries & contexts, might open inter-cultural dialogue between young people and impact on a sense of identity. I have attached the summary document which sets it out in more detail. In practical terms, it would involve you (?) taking the lead on a small-scale project with some young people, around the agreed themes, and then coming together, a number of times, with partners from the different countries to share findings and the creative responses. If you would be interested in collaborating on this bid, please let me know and I’ll then ask Catherine at Creative Partnerships to follow up. Or, if you think someone else you know would be more interested I’d be grateful if you’d pass the information on. I know that the deadline for the application is mid-October 2010, which does mean it’s quite a tight turn around! I look forward to your response. With many thanks, Louise Keyworth Louise Keyworth Create, Compete, Collaborate – Programme Leader 07540 668627

Creative Junction aims to be a point at which ideas come together, explosions occur and new turns are taken. We build partnerships with and for young people, to develop creativity and to connect powerful, innovative learning across sectors.

The deadline for applications is October 1st so I am working furiously to develop the application as well as search for partners. Built into the project idea is the idea that the work is built around partnerships that cut across formal and informal learning, cultural education and local government and community sectors. We have potentially two organisations signed up; one that works around creativity and ICT and teacher training and the other a cultural organisation. Ideally it would be good for a fourth partner to work more in the informal sector. I have done some research into a French organisation CEMEA but not contacted them as yet. Another set of contacts possibly grow out of the Maisons Folies developed for Lille 2004 and now functioning as strong community arts centres.

Creative Partnerships works to give school children throughout England the opportunity to develop their potential, their ambition, their creativity and imagination through sustainable partnerships with creative and cultural organisations, businesses and individuals www.creative-partnerships.com <https://london.cceengland.org/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.creative-partnerships.com>
Who are we? This bid is being led by the Centre for Community Engagement (CCE) at University of Sussex. As a regional delivery partner in Creative Partnerships, England’s flagship creative learning programme, CCE brings to the programme expertise in creative and cultural learning, community engagement and research. The bid is being developed with support from Create, Compete, Collaborate, an ambition to connect young people in the south east of England with young people from competitor countries in the lead up to the 2012 games. Our Idea At a time when talk is of global markets, global communication and internationalism, we ask how this manifests itself for young people. We are interested in what role creativity and culture can play in supporting intercultural dialogue and understanding? Allied to this, is a desire to know more about the contribution that creative expertise – whether that of individual practitioner or that of a cultural organisation - plays in facilitating that dialogue? And beyond this, what role do community, civic or local authority partners play in promoting intercultural understanding. Living and working on the south coast, we see a clear need to develop international links with and for young people. Uptake of languages is declining, as it is across the UK. Foreign students visit south coast towns in great numbers but there are few instances of productive exchange between these students and local young people. More often we hear of instances of attack and hate crime. Moving out from the local there are obvious questions about any potential tensions in an expanded Europe with open frontiers and about what that might mean. Project Aims YOUNG PEOPLE To explore ways in which creative forms of expression facilitate explorations of identity - as citizens of a particular place and as citizens of the world. To understand how the creative process and creative partnerships support intercultural dialogue To understand the connections between creative expression, self esteem and confidence building as means to promote social inclusion and global citizenship CREATIVE AND CULTURAL To understand the role of the creative practitioner as catalyst in facilitating a creative dialogue between young people that can traverse borders and language barriers To explore the significance of digital media as means of communication and as cultural product that is internationally accessible To explore how cultural organisations provide platforms for intercultural dialogue EDUCATION AND WIDER SOCIAL BENEFIT To understand how creative and cultural forms of international dialogue can support broader cultural, education, social and civic agendas Project Partners The project will be led in each country by a partner organisation that will be responsible for identifying a learning setting in which young people and creative practitioners can work together. Partner organisations in each country will provide a different lens through which to review and share knowledge and provide a framework for project development. These might, for instance, include a teacher training organisation, a cultural organisation, an HE partner, a language school, community or local government partners. Within the total project funding, it is anticipated that partner organisations will identify match funding to support project activity in their country and any management time related to the project. EU funding will provide the means to facilitate the international dimension; the exchange of art work, the coming together of key players to reflect and learn from the programme, digital support for virtual communication between programme participants and evaluation. Project Activity Groups of young people across four countries will work with a creative practitioner to develop work that expresses ideas about themselves, their identity and sense of place in the world. Practitioners will come from different disciplines; dance, drama, visual arts and music. At key moments through the life of the project, young people will pass on their work – a creative baton - and share their work with a group in another country. This work will provide the starting point for the next creative project in that country. This can happen at least 3 to 4 times in the life of the project. This exchange will be further supported by a web platform to share ideas, creative product and conversation between all project participants; young people, artists and partner organisations. Creative use of digital media is encouraged as a means to communicate between young people across countries. Each project will be encouraged to link to local cultural platforms; events and venues celebrate the international dimension to their work. Creative Partnerships at CCE will work with partners in each country to create a shared framework for the project based on an action research model. This will provide a basis for all project participants to have ownership of the project’s goals and to be active reflectors on individual and organisational learning throughout the life of the project. The value of different kinds of institutional partners will make for a rich and many layered understanding of the project ambition. There will be four meetings over the life of the project to share practice through the different lenses of each partner organisation. A suggested programme might include: Focus for meetings (to be organised by each country) Meeting One: To scope the project framework and questions. To include artists attached to each project and the lead partners. Mode of communication, action research questions, methods for reflection (partner organisations, creative practitioners, learning orgs) Resp – lead org Meeting Two: To explore the role of creative practitioner and cultural organisations in facilitating intercultural dialogue (partner organisations, creative practitioners, cultural orgs) Resp – cultural org Meeting Three: To understand the impact of this creative and cultural engagement on broader education, citizenship and inclusion agendas Resp – learning or community org Meeting Four: Review the programme impacts, outputs and dissemination Meetings 2/3 would have a public facing event to open up wider discussion of the issues with local/ national audiences in partner country. Outcomes · Opportunities for creative practitioners to develop their own practice by working internationally, sharing skills and developing new networks, · Consideration of how the creative process might develop intercultural understanding for young people and their communities · Informed consideration of what sort of cultural offer/ product might facilitate intercultural appreciation · A better sense of self, others and place in the world through negotiating with others both face to face and digitally · Identification and encouragement of young leaders as ‘cultural ambassadors’ · Jobs/ attainment/ ambition/ horizons · Working towards finding ways to evaluate the importance of the international creative economy (in terms of economic, social, cultural and educational capital) · Inter community understanding and exchange; new insights into role of practitioner as facilitator of intercultural dialogue; new forms of exchange · Developing ways of presenting findings in academic and creative forms · Complement the Olympic ideals of ‘wedding sport and art’ and promoting tolerance and understanding. Areas to explore Creative learning, creative practice and intercultural dialogue How does creative practice offer a process and platform for young people/communities to explore ideas of identity and develop intercultural understanding? What examples of good practice exist? Where does it happen – schools, youth settings, communities, cultural organisations etc? Who supports? Where are the gaps? To what extent does inequality and intolerance grow through lack of exposure to intercultural dialogue? Is the current provision genuinely inclusive? To what extent it reach those in most need? To what extent can creative practice help young people/communities think about themselves as international citizens? In what ways do creative process and product provide a means to communicate internationally? Role of creative and cultural sector in facilitating intercultural dialogue What skills and resources do creative practitioners and cultural organisations bring to supporting intercultural understanding? What examples of good practice? Who commissions or supports? What distinct skills does the creative practitioner need to support young people/communities in developing expressions of identity, understanding of others, cultural exchange? To what extent is this role one that is supported within broader culture and learning policy? What role do cultural organisations play in facilitating intercultural exchange? Creativity, culture and community To what extent does intercultural dialogue contribute to a community’s sense of itself and of others? To what extent do inter -cultural programmes raise aspirations and self esteem and tackle social exclusion? How do young people living in areas of social and economic deprivation access international knowledge and experience and how is this filtered through in the day-to-day?
