Grundtvig Learning Partnership Project Move& Pull Down the Wall

Report on Welsh Meeting of Mapdot Grundtivg Project

October 23,24,25 2012

The initial meeting of MAPDOT Project was held in Llandovery Carmarthenshire based in the Kings

Head Hotel/pub. The meeting was attended by Turkey Poland and Malta

The partners from Slovakia did not come as the funds had not arrived from their National Agency and

the Czech Republic Partner did not attend due to a document problem .

The meeting confirmed the tasks of each partner and introduced Iulian Scutelinicu and Kirstie Law

who are volunteers working with Kinesthetics on this project. They bring further expertise on the

work with disadvantaged adults to compliment the knowledge and experience of Carroll Nunnerley

and Richard Foot.

We had as a workshop a presentation from Yoka Kilkelly who is a potter giving workshops to both

learners and disabled learners. It was a very interesting approach to the concept of working with clay

and learning difficulties.

We had a visit to Colge Elidyr to illustrate how those with medium to sever learning difficulties are

educated and integrated into society.

Report on Malta Meeting of Mapdot Grundtivg Project

March 2013

A Grundtvig Lifelong Learning Partnership meeting was held in Gozo last week. This was its second

meeting and those attending included delegates from Malta, Slovakia, Turkey, Wales and Poland.

The Grundtvig project is a framework for practical co-operation activities between organisations

working in the field of adult learning in the broadest sense – formal or informal. Compared with the

larger Grundtvig multilateral co-operation projects, which are generally more product or outcome-

oriented, the partnerships focus more on process and aim to broaden, in particular, the participation

of smaller organisations wishing to include European co-operation in their education activities.

In a Grundtvig Learning Partnership trainers and learners from at least three participating countries

work together on one or more topics of common interest to the co-operating organisations. This

exchange of experiences, practices and methods contributes to an increased awareness of the varied

European cultural, social and economic scene and to a better understanding of areas of common

interest.

The participating organisations are encouraged to monitor and evaluate their transnational work and

to interconnect it with the initiatives of their local community. They are also encouraged to

cooperate with organisations and authorities at the national level, to ensure a sound basis for their

ideas and activities and open up channels for dissemination.

This will maximise the value of the transnational exchange, promote the circulation of good practice,

and thus ensure the wider impact of results.

The Gozo meeting focused on inclusive education in crafts, art and sports for people with special

needs.

The participants were also given the opportunity to view the island and went on various educational

and cultural visits around Gozo.

which were given at the first meeting in Llandovery, Wales and about the aims and

beautiful lunch was prepared by the students for us. Each partner was given a gift done by students.


After visiting the Therapy Workshops in Olsztyn the next point in the programme was Dance Theatre

Autentyczni MY” -autistic students with their teachers from ZPE in Olsztyn. A few words about the

theater:

“Dance Theater was established in 2011. Its members are students with autism,

students with multiple disabilities and students with Down Syndrom. Because of specific

disabilities also therapists take part in the dance theater.

Today’s performance „Authentic” it is the first performance which has been preparing

for almost 1 year. It was prepared for a special occasion – the tenth anniversary of ZPE.

The main aim of the theater was to show what exactly autism is . It was the main

idea. Therapists who are choreographers want to show a unique autistic world. They want to

share he knowledge about autsim and different kind of disabilities using a universal art.’s

language. It is an Art without words, based on a movement, dance and sign – because it is

sometimes the only way of communication with autistic people.

They said about themselves: „We – authentic” because we are taught of the

choreography, on the stage there is a real picture of each student. For exapmle Beata will

give an applaus where it should be a silence, Klaudiusz will start to jump when everybody

should fall down and only WE – therapists will know where is the border between between

choreography and where real theater will begin.”

Music: Fade Out

Choreography: Katarzyna Śliwińska

Scenography: Anna Wangin


Direction: Katarzyna Śliwińska, Anna Wangin, Anna Janus, Magdalena Bielicka

The announcement of our performance these words will be the best:

„We are surrounded by a mistery…….

Different but the same as all men

Real but not always discovered” How many faces has your life got?


Dance theater was a great experience for our partners. It was just a sample: partners

could imagine how the autistic life looks like, what people with autism feel and how they fill.

After show there was a constant applaus and photo - sessions with our students – actors.

In the evening all partners met at the Festive Dinner in Warminski Hotel. Director Wanda

Agnieszka Jablonska gave certificates of attendance in the 5th meeting of MAPDOT project.

MINUTES

Contestants from Malta, Turkey, Slovakia and Poland participated in this year’s

Abilympics within the GRUNDTVIG Partners Project Move & Pull Down the Wall

(MAPDOT). Over 50 participants arrived in Pardubice already on Wednesday, May

21, to discover Pardubice and to visit the facilities which work handicapped people.

22 May 2014 Thursday

Their visit to the Basic and Practical School Svítání and the Day Care Centre MIREA

was very successful. At both places, the visitors especially enjoyed music therapy

and actively took part in it. Specialised discussions among teachers and exchange of

experience with work with handicapped people which took place during these visits

were very important. When visiting the hippotherapy centre Apolenka, all participants

had an opportunity to try horse riding and there was a discussion on employing the

handicapped people in work with animals. The visit to the Lentilka – Children’s

Remedial Centre Pardubice was also very pleasant and the topic for discussion was

autism. At the social event in the Integration Centre Kosatec the participants tasted


national dishes which were prepared by the employees of the canteen. The most

frequently ordered and enjoyed dish was roasted duck with sauerkraut, several kinds

of dumplings and Pernštejn, the traditional beer from Pardubice.

23 May 2014 Friday

The abilympic day.

The contestants didn’t get lost during the actual abilympic contests either. Dominika Tkáčová

from the United Boarding School in Prešov ranked fourth in photography in a very strong

competition and Dominik Michalski from Olsztyn in Poland ranked second in glass painting

and decoupage. In the discipline of egg painting the Polish participants astonished the visitors

by their firing technique for which they were given certificates of merit.


24 May 2014 Saturday

The accompanying programme was focused on the culture of the Elbe Lowland and

the Turkish participants had an opportunity to dance the traditional folk dances with

the Lipka Folklore Group. As a souvenir from art workshops in Pardubice, everybody

was given painted toys from Krouna from the folk tradition holder Zdeněk Bukáček,

decorated gingerbread from the King of Gingerbread Pavel Janoš and stained glass

from Lenka Machačová. During the closing ceremony, the participants of the project

appreciated the perfect organisation of the whole event.

A project delegation visited Pardubice city Mayor.
