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).
