First day in Thessaloniki, we are discovering the city

Posted on by ANTIGONE - Information and Documentation Center on Racism, Ecology, Peace and Non Violence

ANTIGONE and the participants of CHROMATODROMOS welcomed the trainers in the city, offering the possibility to be “lost” in the upper town, following the musical approach of Giorgos, the guide.

Although it was cold and a bit difficult to climb up to the narrow streets, the quite, the absence of traffic and the incredible panoramic of the view rewarded us! Profitis Ilias church, Tourbes Mousa Baba monument, Osios David church, Tsitsanis square, Moni Vlatadon monastery and Acropolis- Triangle tower….and back to the hug of the dark and noisy city centre.

Welcome to Ano Poli (upper town)!

Posted on by Allie Walton-Robson

There are a wide range of evaluative techniques. We chose to use these 5 ‘qualitative evaluation’ questions to encourage cyclical reflective practice. They can be used to evaluate a single session or the whole project.  We have applied them to each mobility and captured reflections.  The next stage is to collate and refine information. We will then create an Evaluation Toolkit with examples of techniques drawn from our project work, as a project output.

Learning Activity Outline: UK Mobility

Posted on by Allie Walton-Robson

Learning Activity UK Mobility 4th-9th October
Workshop lead: Alison Walton-Robson

Bringing it all together: Creative Evaluation – using the environment to stimulate debate and site specific environmental art to express and evaluate learning experiences.

Enjoy a short walk in the grounds (Cragside House, Northumberland) together (around 15 mins). Reflect upon your past week – discuss together in your group – highlights and lowlights – help each other to remember.

Choose a suitable site not too far away from this point and where we can still see each other (we’ll need to move quickly between sites) to create your site specific artworks.

You may make your own artwork or work together in small groups – you can choose.

You may use only found materials, the environment here, your own skills and any skills you have developed in the learning activities this week. The artwork might include shapes, symbols, song, words or physical images…anything which you feel reflects your learning.

Please note: Found objects must be things which have fallen naturally – please do not cut down or take anything growing.

Take 45 mins.

We will then visit each other’s site, share and discuss our work.

 

Defining the principles in Thessaloniki

Posted on by Headway Arts

Here in the UK we are looking forward to our visit to Thessaloniki both for the Learning Activity and the Managers Meeting! Over the last few months during our visits exploring best practice, and in the work we have been doing with our groups, we have been looking at the principles for the accreditation framework.

Now it is time to bring all this learning together and define the principles underlying the framework. We have set aside some time to do this while we are in Thessaloniki so please bring all your ideas with you!
