The methods used during the performance in Lithuania

A performance based on the motives of Lithuanian folk songs „Ant kalno gluosnys“ and „Baltoji roze“ was being created in non-verbal language during partners meeting in Siauliai, Lithuania. The participants of the meeting were divided into four groups engaging in separate activities during the preparatory time for the performance. Each participant was given the opportunity to choose which group he would like to participate in. One of the groups was producing Lithuanian folk instrument skudutis (wooden pipe) which was used during the performance while the orchestra was playing on, the second group was making decorations as well as costumes for the actors, the third one shared the roles and practised the role-play, the fourth group played music in the orchestra composed of the residents of care home.

Decorations and costumes of the actors were created by using raw material: cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, sweet papers, magazines etc.

As group social work method is applied in care home everyday activities, thus the participants could reveal their talents, communication culture during this project. The above method helped to draw interest of the residents of care home and to involve a greater number of the participants.

Our logo

Here is the finished logo.  I have put together the ideas from each of the group drawings we made during our workshop in U.K.  Common images were drawn of bridges (maybe partly inspired by our trips over the lovley bridges on the River Tyne) but also reflecting the groups aims of building bridges between cultures, our collective learning and our organisations.  Other popular images drawn were of people singing, acting and telling stories and of seas & rivers flowing & a shining sun.  I have tried to combine these images into a river of words, over a sea of ideas flowing outwards, waves of communication between us all.   The 5 spiral shapes represent our 5 partner states. Finally our Belgian friend Bart suggested that his experiences had made him think of the colour gold - hence the shades of gold and yellow used in the final design.  I do hope you all think it is a fitting image for our project.  I will email it to all partners to use in any documents relating the the project.

What a fantastico mobility to Italy.  Many heartfelt thanks to our wonderful Italian hosts for sharing with us 'The Song of the Wood'. Amo Italia!!

We shall post some pictures soon.

Keep listening to the song...

Molto Grazia
