Objectives

We would like to organize this project to give our group space to reach for urban legends from our countries and analyze the morals flowing from them together. We believe that urban legends were not told only for entertainment purposes, but also for educational purposes. Each such legend carries certain values that we would like to decipher together, learn about, discuss, and inspire ourselves to creative activities. This project will be a chance to explore our own culture, because each participant will reach for legends from their own country at the beginning. Then we will lead to an intercultural exchange of these legends, so that all participants will also learn about legends from other countries, and have the opportunity to look for common points between the discovered stories. We believe that legends can also be an element that creates our identity as citizens of a given country or region, so it will be a chance to get to know our own roots. Once we analyze the selected legends, we would like to have the chance to express our emotions, opinions, and impressions through art. For this purpose, we have chosen two directions - visual art and photography. Art, because we want to give each participant a chance to express themselves individually using a technique of their choice. Photography, on the other hand, because we plan to create photographic series inspired by specific legends, and each such series will be created by a small, international group. Thanks to this, each of us will be able to learn about different methods of expressing ourselves, and both try out individual and group work. Artworks and photographic series will be presented during an event for the local community in Krakow, but also popularized on the Internet. We hope that thanks to this we will familiarize a wider group with the legends from our countries, encourage them to reach for legends, and inspire them to transform emotions and feelings into art, which can be a carrier of many messages. In addition to the substantive goals of our exchange, we care about team integration, breaking language barriers and establishing intercultural dialogue.
