Multiplier Event in Italy
The Folk Art & Culture project multiplier event took place in the Chiostro di San Domenico of Bevagna, Umbria, on the 6th of July 2024. The event's main purpose was to present the Folk Art & Culture Project and its results, as well as to diffuse the project's impact in the local territory, history and culture.
During the event, teachers had the opportunity to get familiar with the project's aims and outputs. The event was held twice in the day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and saw the participation of four different groups of people: teachers and students, of ages as young as 15 years old, coming from Hungary, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Germany, Portugal, Greece and many other countries.
The participants, after being briefly introduced to the project, had a chance to view the virtual space prepared as part of the project, before later embarking on a cultural tour around the Gaite of Bevagna. The tour took the groups to visit three out of four of the mestieri of the local gaite, dedicated each to a different craft: the cereria (the candle workshop), the setificio (the silk workshop) and the dipintore (the painting workshop).

Multiplier Event in Turkey
The event is designed to bring together a series of disciplines' experts for a dialogue fousing on the scope of ""Folk Art And Culture"" project. The venue of the event was the Rezan Has Museum. The event/ seminar was designed as a meeting at Rezan Has Museum to talk about the subjects of Daily Life, Art and Design as Cultural Heritage, and to exchange views and experiments.
The seminar titled ""Daily Life, Art and Design as Cultural Heritage in the Digital Age"". From ancient times to the present, everyday life objects and artistic expression have been an important part of folk art and culture. Daily life helps us decipher human nature and ways of thinking through all the objects, systems and visual culture surrounding us. We are expecting everyone who is interested in the subject to the seminar we organized to reconsider the meaning of design objects and works of art from different time periods of the past, and to discuss approaches to the transfer and preservation of objects in museum collections to new generations, especially today, through digital technologies.
The seminar is organized within the scope of the Folk Art and Culture project supported by Erasmus+ fund and in which Kadir Has University is among the project partners. The project aims to explain to the younger generations the advantages of strengthening folk culture and interacting with this culture, and to develop strategies and experiences by equipping the new generations with the skills necessary for the labor market in the cultural sector.
