Following the Training
1 and based on its process and methodology, 11 Local Pilot Activities (LPA)
will be implemented in Ohrid and Struga, in the period between the end of
February ‘14 till the beginning of May 2014.
WHO CAN APPLY FOR A LPA?
Artists and other creative professionals who have previously
participated in the whole duration of the Training
1 (held in Ohrid, between 15-19.01.2014)
can submit a proposal for their own LPA with a specific vulnerable group.
Only the proposals of the artists/creative professionals who have gone through
the Training 1 will be rendered/deemed eligible for support.
WHERE AND WHEN CAN A LPA TAKE PLACE?
A Local Pilot Activity can take place on the territory of
Ohrid and/or Struga municipalities. Ideally it has to take place in the period
between the end of February till the beginning of May 2014.
WHAT SHOULD BE THE CONTENT, AIM AND METHOD OF A LPA?
A Local Pilot Activity should be consisted of a series of
min 8 to max 10 workshops, in which the artist meets with her/his group of
participants and works with them; preferably, each workshop should be with
duration of min. 1,5 to max 2 hours. A Local Pilot Activity’s content has to be
artistically based, either in one or in several different artistic media.
Through the artistic means the LPA needs to provide a context and
psychologically safe space for the participant(s)-member(s) of a particular
vulnerable group, to open up, express creatively and thus enhance their
self-esteem and self-confidence. Methodologically the LPA needs to be based on the
Participatory Arts/Social Sculpture method presented within the Training 1.
Ideally, where possible, each proposed LPA should be meant for a group-work and
structured accordingly. However, if there are no conditions for implementing a
group-process and yet the argumentation for the identified need of a particular
group is strong, the LPA process and approach can be individually based (i.e.
the artist in charge can work with single representative of a vulnerable group
or with several members).
WHAT SHOULD BE THE PROPOSAL’S CONTENT?
The candidates should make the
proposal according to the following pattern:
1.
Describe the specific vulnerable
group that you intend to work with;
2.
What specific goals (both artistic
and psychosocial/educational) do you set for your artistic
process with the chosen vulnerable
group, in the framework of your local pilot activity and
beyond?;
3.
What artistic media do you plan to use in the
process? In case of mix of two or more media
(for ex. music, performance and
photography), how do you envision combining the diverse
artistic media?;
4.
What materials will you need for
the LPA-both in the process, final presentation and (if
applicable) post-production? (When
planning the materials, please keep in mind the ceiling of 200 Euro for the budget line
‘workshop materials’ per single LPA.);
5.
What is the approximate ideal date
for start of your LPA? Do you need filed visit(s) prior the
start of your LPA?;
6.
Please, write few paragraphs about
your personal motivation to artistically work with specific target group that
you’ve chosen.
HOW MANY LPAs CAN A CANDIDATE
APPLY FOR?
The candidate can send as many
proposals as he/she likes. However, max two different proposals for Local Pilot
Activities can be approved per individual artist.
HOW MANY ARTISTS CAN BE INVOLVED
IN A SINGLE LPA?
Single artist can be in charge,
and contracted, per LPA. However, he/she can involve one or several assistants.
In case assistants are involved, they too should fulfill the criteria of this
Call, i.e. they should have participated in Training 1. Assistants’ work will
be voluntary and thus free of charge.
WHAT ARE THE TERMS OF THE
ORGANIZER?
C.C. Media Artes will cover the
materials (up to 200 euro per LPA), local travel costs linked to the direct
activities on the spot, as well as the artist’s fee (up to 220 euro gross
