TROSI – Exploring European Cultural Identities in Wales
Subject area: Cultural heritage
Artistic education, also including Arts and Crafts and Music
Learning opportunities for people at risk of social marginalisation
Working language(s): EN
Target Group + Translation:
This workshop is open to all mature adults (over 50) - especially those from vulnerable social
groups, including older learners who have left education without basic qualifications. We
encourage participation by older learners from communities in the country where they are living,
and will invite 5 older learners from our own community to take part. Especially appealing to
mature people wishing to embark on a new learning experience, the workshop will have a
demonstrable potential impact on the individuals - who will have the opportunity to meet and share
experiences with like-minded people from across Europe. A clear plan for language and cultural
awareness training will help learners overcome barriers. The workshop will appeal to adults with an
interest in the arts and culture; it is fun, interactive and will provide an innovative experience,
including activities such as storytelling, dancing, craft, music, cookery and language. Participants
will be able to share knowledge and experience of their own country’s arts and cultural heritage.
Main activities Programme + Programme translation:
The 5 day workshop will focus on a different, creative medium each day, namely: storytelling,
traditional craft making, traditional music, dance and cookery. The organisers aim to introduce
aspects of Welsh culture including the arts, language, history, landscape etc., and will ask
participants to share aspects of their own national or regional cultural and artistic traditions through
workshop activities. A cultural programme, including a visit to a historic site in North Wales and
an international food evening will also be included.
