Event Title: Presentation of the final results of CRAFT

Event description: The goal of this multiplier event is to raise awareness about the partnership’s methodology and multidisciplinary approach to teaching, implicit to present the developments of links created between innovation, research and education – the three sides of the ‘knowledge triangle’. This will, specifically, be done by exhibiting the results of the competition for Master students and PhD students (O5) – drawing attention to the development of  innovative results and/or engagement in the dissemination of existing or new products or innovative ideas. The results of the competition will explore different cultural heritage environments to initialise and perform actions and new designs which will create new innovative cultural heritage links.

Another goal is to present a performance and theatre event involving CRAFT, teachers as well as students and young local people. This part of the multiplier event will built on the work in the Intellectual Output O6, producing, setting up and catalyzing innovative activities built on shared cultural heritage. The multiplier event involves by this both O5, Studies / analysis – Case study and O6, Services / structures – Public awareness campaigns / outreach activities and will take place at the AMAT theatre, Italy.

AMAT was funded by MIBACT (Italian Ministry of Culture) and by the Marche Region Administration in 1976. The theatre’s role is managing the theatrical activities of drama, dance and music, in association with the local administrations (70 Town Councils of the Marche region). AMAT works at regional, national and international levels, having as a key activity networking in order to implement actions mainly concerning: theatre (drama and contemporary theatre); dance (ballet and contemporary dance); music; and importantly non-formal education (workshop and research projects). AMAT also supports creative performers and projects (artistic residencies and platforms for emerging artists), and interdisciplinary projects (site-specific performances, community projects, research).

The multiplier event will present the project’s outline (2021), objectives and expected outcomes, as well as the designs and prototypes developed by the students that have been pre-qualified in the competition in Studies / analysis – Case study (O5). Another part of the multiplier event will be presented in a theatre performance taking its point of departure from the designs and prototypes developed by the students that were pre-qualified in the competition in Studies / analysis – Case study (O5).

Furthermore, there will be compiled a documentation and evaluation of the Intellectual Output O7, the CRAFT Handbook, built on output type: Learning / teaching / training material – Manual / handbook / guidance material.

Preparations:

Organisation and promotion of the event: this activity part concerns a series of tasks necessary for the planning and organisation of the event. This includes sending out formal invitations to relevant (cultural) stakeholders and local residents. We will promote the event through a diversity of channels, including distribution of leaflets to local residents, use of social media and advertisements on local media (e.g. newspapers, radio stations).

AMAT and Universidade de Aveiro will share responsibility for the development and execution of the part of the event that is related to the exhibition of the results of the student competition.

AMAT and Aalborg University will share responsibility for the development and execution of the part of the event related to the theatre performance. In order to make decisions on issues related to the presentation of the multiplier event, Hans Thyge & Co. will have a consulting role.
