Bolognal Conference

We have a great opportunity for disseminating our CoCreART project next month when Alison Walton-Robson will be speaking at a conference in Bologna on April 2nd 2011.

The conference has developed from the idea put forward in our original proposal and will explore the idea of CoCreation and the process of working together towards a common goal, looking more specifically at how this relates to the psyche and how it is used in a therapeutic setting.

The conference has been organised by Guilio Casini who applied to be a partner in the CoCreART project but unfortuantely did not receive the funding to join us. As his organisation specialises in the psychology of dance this will obviously be a focus of the conference but it will be a good opportunity for Allie to disseminate our work and hear about other work that is happening in this field.

OH, Ceuta

How wonderful to remember Ceuta;-)) especially this week, since we have had minus 31 C

You were lucky not to be here this week. The weather was at it´s best when you visited Skelleftea. Most cars "died" on Monday morning because of the cold and so did my husbands car, but not mine :-))

I will try to put some photos here too. Maybe on Sunday because I am very busy until then.

Lots of love to you all from Maggie

Greetings from Headway Arts (UK)

We have finally put our photos together to tell our story of Headway's excellent trip to Ceuta in October 2010. We wish a Happy New Year to our European partners and we look forward to seeing you all in 2011.

best wishes from us all.

Logo

Hello Everyone

Here is our logo design. I have incorporated imagery from all our drawings made during the logo ideas workshop I ran in Ceuta. There is a star to represent each partner country - the colours are taken from all our flags - on a background of inspirational purple. At the centre is a merging of all the colours which is symbolic for our combined ideas, nationalities and group learning.

I do hope everyone is happy with it.

It was great to meet you all in Ceuta - I think it is a fantastic partnership!

Best wishes

Alison

About the Project

CoCreART


will explore the concept of 'CoCreation' as a tool for enhancing the participation of disadvantaged adults in Lifelong Learning throughout Europe. The project will explore how this concept is interpreted in the creative working practices of different countries, through visits and practical workshops with disadvantaged groups from partner countries. The project will challenge the preconceptions that surround disadvantaged groups, raise awareness of the contributions they make to the community at local, national and European level. It will also contribute to the acquisition of key competencies for lifelong learning and enhance European co-operation. Partners from UK, Spain, Turkey and Sweden will learn from each other, involve learners at all levels, share ways of working and offer enriched outcomes for disadvantaged learners empowering them to make informed choices about future goals.
