Info about the project:
“Reach Out” was a strategic partnership with financial support from EU-program “Erasmus+”. It was basically a research-project, which examined the outcomes from having workshops in school with artists from another country. Researchers from University College Absalon (DK) looked at how these workshops are influencing wellbeing and learning-motivation. Results were presented 6.10.2020 at an online conference hosted by Klaipeda Education Department and will also be the topic for a conference in Wejherowo Centrum Kultury on Thursday 6th May 2021.“Reach Out” was coordinated by Stubbekøbing School and involved one more school in Guldborgsund Municipality + Klaipeda Sendvario Progymnasium (LT) & Wejherowo School no.1 (PL).The 3 artists: musician Andy Penny (UK), dancer & choreographer Pako (PT and visual artists Daniela Stoian (RO) worked 3 times at 2 schools in Guldborgsund Municipality (DK), Klaipeda Sendvario Progymnasium (LT) and Wejherowo School no. 1 (PL).
On a personal level:
It was my pleasure to document the process with both photography and video while also being a workshop leader. I have edited this video as a visual element that can accompany and support this research and give a better understanding of our work in schools as international artists.
