“Once
upon a time, there was a hidden castle in a dark forest in one
of the cities in a country.”
Most of the stories start like that, but nobody knows how the
story continues or ends. Nobody can guess what happens next. The
teller or the writer of the story are the magicians creating an
atmosphere in which anything is possible.
The story writer can take us everywhere: backwards, forwards, or
happening right in the present time. They transport us to many
places and situations we might never go.
In five different
cities in Turkey, Greece, Germany, Latvia and Poland five groups
of students who are all members of the Comenious Project named
as “Removing the borders with the mystic stories of the
historical beauties in the cities” start to go on a journey to
discover the history of their cities through mystic stories and
tell them to eachother, to the members of other participant
countries.
They get on a special vehicle that carries them on a dramatic
journey to a destination of resolution they find satisfying and
fulfilling. They explore the importance of their past through
the historical beauties around them.
Each of the structures has the footsteps and the fingerprints of
their ancestors. Following these footsteps and touching these
fingerprints lead them to experience the life as it was during
the past.
The project members, the students of five different cities in
five different countries share the same feelings in different
cultures and exchange their experiences through the different
ways of literature and art to provoke the feelings of being
together in harmony. |
