Well hello everybody and welcome to our blog!
Maybe a quick word about the project would be in order?!
Opening Doors is a European Grundtvig (http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/llp/grundtvig/index_en.html) project, for which 3 countries (Belgium - CC Leopoldsburg, Malta - St James Cavalier Centre for Creativity, UK - Headway Theatre Company) have teamed up to work around performance art with learning disabled people for a period of 2 years. Originally 5 countries applied for funds, but sadly enough Denmark and Lithuania did not make the cut. This also meant that the UK was the only partner left with a performance group.
So Malta and Belgium decide to adjust their original plans. Instead of only providing a venue to perform in for the existing groups, they will now each try and set up a performance group of their own (which will be an interesting journey in itself!). This means we will now have 3 performance groups and 3 venues.
Each country will work individually with their own group towards a final performance. All the while the partners keep each other updated on the progress made within their groups (e-platform + Blogspot). At the end of the journey each country will organise a ‘festival’ where all the groups will perform. This means that each group will perform 3 times, still evolving from the first one to the last.
We set up this Blogspot so everyone (involved or not involved) can follow the progress of the project and leave comments. It’s also a diary exchange for the 3 partner countries. This could also be fun for the learners. We will put up pictures from our different groups, so they can see each other. Will they realise that there are two other groups working on the same project in different countries?
So, if you're interested in this project we're looking forward to reading your comments on this Blog!
