Our project

Our project raises an exchange of experiences in order to introduce adult learners to the different ways in wich fire is used to celebrate events in our countries. We regard these fire rituals like a common cultural point, spreaded all over european folklore.

In these events people plays tradicional music and dances, cooks typical food, and these celebrations are usually rooted in the popular traditions and customs of our countries.

We regard the carrying out of this project like a transvere subject to work all kind of cultural and educatives activities, always from a point of view artistic and creative.

Creative work will include crafts, making figures, photography and film, and the cultural activities will involve adult learners in local food and ways of life of the participating countries.

We raise the exchange visits with our learners like a great oportunity to discover other countries, other lenguages, other customs and other cultures… but the most important: the best oportunity to meet other people and discover that diversity is our great treasure and union our great power.

To respect this diversity and discover our common past, present and future is for us the real beginning of the intercultural dialogue.

All the partners of this partnership believe in our project and design this grundtvig action like the first step… we hope to add more countries in future, and develop an association of organizations across europe, leading to expansion of the exchange programmee: "EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF FIRE CELEBRATIONS".
