SUITCASE – Sharing an Understanding of Identity through Culture, Art and Self-Expression
‘Identity’ as a concept has been undergoing a number of changes over the last few decades, on both a social and cultural
level. Factors such as opening the European borders, migration, the accelerated technological development and the
broad distribution of new communication resources influenced these changes. S.U.I.T.C.A.S.E. aims to work with adult
learners in exploring these concepts on a personal, local/regional and European level, in order to promote mutual
understanding and enable new forms of cultural exchange. Each partner will set up a Project Working Group
incorporating staff and learners. The primary activities of the group will be an art exchange, facilitated by workshops, in
which learners create ‘artefacts’ under a theme of culture and identity and then send them to learners in partner
countries. The receivers are then tasked with responding to the piece with an artwork of their own. Information on the
sender’s culture will be intrinsic to the piece, as art is always in some way, a reflection of the culture that creates it.
Trans-national visits will also play an important role in the project, and will involve both staff and learners in group
meetings, exchange of experience and expertise, and engagement in cultural activities and foreign language.
