More information about us you could see in our www site (www.scas.acad.bg). Aim of the project: The project "Art and Information against the Violence" explores how the art and information could influence the society and how these two tools (art, information) could be used against the violence. The aim of the project is to give the participants an opportunity to share experience and exchange ideas about the topic. Sort description of the theme: - The information could be a significant tool against the violence. If young people are more informed about their neighbors, about the multicultural aspects of the society, about the ethnical, religious and other differences then the violence accidents will be less in Europe. The lack of information is, in our opinion, one of the reasons of the violence. Off course, it is not the only reason, but may be one of them. - Art is an important tool to influence the society and to train people to explore differences, to be more tolerant and to avoid the violence. We think, the art could be a significant tool to train young people to have a wide vision, to be more aware about differences, to encourage their exploration of the world (thru the art). So, we believe, these two tools are very important tools to fight against the violence. We think it will be interesting to join a number of partners from different countries of Europe and explore this problems. Practical form of the exchange: We imagine to a have a multilateral exchange in Varna, Bulgaria. Varna is very old and famous city on the Black sea in Bulgaria. It is also a good sea resort. From every partner we would like to invite several persons (2-3) to join the group (25 persons + 5 Leadership Team). In the form of meeting in Varna we will discuss the project problems and also we will try to encourage future collaboration and future exchanges between us. If you are interested, please, reply urgently. We are online ! ---------------------------------------- SCAS 10 Narodno sabranie, Sofia 1000 phone/fax: +359 /2/ 870293 e-mail:info@scas.acad.bg URL: www.scas.acad.bg ---------------------------------------- ------Syndicate mailinglist-------------------- Syndicate network for media culture and media art information and archive: http://www.v2.nl/east/ to unsubscribe, write to <syndicate-request@aec.at> in the body of the msg: unsubscribe your@email.adress
