TEH — CAMP — MEETING — 84
19 22 October 2017
IZONE (IZOLYATSIA), Kyiv, Ukraine
About
For the past three years following the Euromaidan revolution, culture has been booming in Ukraine. Local raves have made the headlines of the major European media, but more importantly, numerous contemporary grassroots initiatives and creative hubs are springing around the country, especially in the East where many cities are faced with the outcomes of the ongoing conflict. These centres of new culture swarm with fresh and intrepid ideas, eager to share their stories with the world.
Ukrainians have a lot to say about culture in turbulent times – we know the price of neglecting it but also the impact it has on our society today. We also feel an urgent need to learn from the experience of other European nations, reaffirming ourselves as one of them. Who could think of a better time and place to make these worlds meet?
The IZONE Creative Community, founded by IZOLYATSIA in Kyiv, is honoured to host the Easternmost TEH gathering as yet in the history of the network. This is a perfect opportunity to discover Ukraine with its rich cultural life and contested historical heritage, starting a journey from the picturesque riverside neighbourhood of Podil, Kyiv's hippest place, where IZONE is located amidst the old Soviet shipyards. We invite you to join us on board and explore Kyiv together!

The participants will be divided in 3 groups, each one referring to a real cultural centre, their tasks being to develop strategies to deal with specifics problems, while being coherent with the objectives and values of the centre. The role play will be structured in three parts, - each part will consist of a scenario with changing problems, available resources, and external conditions.

After each session, the participants will share their proposals and compare the differences with the real-world solutions. Who Might Be Interested?

Kyiv
Kyiv (population 2.8 million) is Ukraine’s biggest and one of the oldest cities, founded around the 5th century CE. Once capital of the powerful medieval kingdom known as Kievan Rus’ and later under the rule of Lithuanian and Polish kingdoms as well as the Russian Empire and Soviet Union, Kyiv preserves the traces of the all these cultural strata.
Beside its famous golden-domed cathedrals and vast green spaces that still define the city’s landscape, Kyiv also boasts an impressive heritage of the Soviet neoclassical and modernist architecture, including the breathtaking industrial sceneries scattered along the riverside.
Moreover, in the recent years following the Euromaidan revolution, Kyiv has been blooming with grassroots cultural initiatives, and the local raves have made the headlines of most European media.
