CALL: Cooperation with cultural managers from Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia (europehousegeorgia.org)

 
(europehousegeorgia.org) Call for proposals for cultural managers from Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia Europe House Georgia in cooperation with MitOst Berlin is pleased to invite cultural managers from Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia to participate in the training program for cultural managers aiming at building confidence within each of the three South Caucasus countries through fostering and forging co-operation in the cultural sector whilst strengthening cultural institutions in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia as well as the professional qualifications of their cultural managers.

The program aims at:

- Increasing trust resulting in an improved environment and building confidence between the populations of the territories involved in conflicts (Armenia and Azerbaijan) and neighbouring countries (Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia) through cultural projects.

- Improving the qualification of cultural managers through trainings in cultural project management, strategic management and European policies and instruments as well as study visits to German cultural institutions.

- Strengthening cultural institutions and creating a common platform where young professionals will develop joint project proposals for future initiatives. Supervised by mentors, participating cultural managers will improve the organisational structures of their cultural institutions through innovation. The training component will be actively used for developing this innovative approach. The implementation of new strategy and efficient management in the institutions will be supervised during two seminars by experienced mentors from Germany. The project, therefore, will combine the strengthening of the professional skills of individual cultural managers and the capacity building of cultural institutions.

- Creating and building long-term co-operation between selected organizations from the South Caucasus and Germany.

The program foresees following activities:

- Training in cultural management and strategic development for cultural institutions, Tbilisi December 9 – 15, 2012

- Study visit to Germany in February 2013 including a seminar in trans-cultural project management and study visits to cultural institutions

- Working sessions during the preparation of the strategies with mentors.

Cultural managers should have at least 5 years of working experience at cultural institutions in their home countries or abroad or as freelance managers, have strong interest in international cooperation and strategic planning of the cultural institutions they represent of their own projects/initiatives; have good knowledge of English, Russian or German language.

The program is funded by the Black Sea Trust, a project of the German Marshall Fund of the United States, and the Robert Bosch Foundation.

Europahaus lädt Sie herzlich ein zur Vorführung des Films

Die Frau mit den 5 Elefanten

am 12. Mai, um 19. 00 Uhr

Svetlana Geier

in Anwesenheit des Regisseurs Vadim Jendreyko. Moderation: Theo Khatiaschwili

Schweiz 2009, 93 Min., de. OF mit englischen und georgischen Untertiteln, Regie: Vadim Jendreyko

Swetlana Geier ist die größte Übersetzerin russischer Literatur ins Deutsche und eine charismatische Gestalt. Unlängst hat die 85-jährige ihr Lebenswerk beendet, die Neuübersetzung der fünf großen Romane von Dostojewskij, die fünf Elefanten genannt. Als junge Frau arbeitete sie als Dolmetscherin für die Deutschen im besetzten Kiew, verließ die Ukraine 1943 mit den deutschen Truppen und kehrte Zeit ihres Lebens nie mehr dorthin zurück. Zum Ende ihres Lebens hin ist Swetlana Geier an die unbetretbaren Orte ihrer Geschichte zurückgekehrt.

Die Veranstaltung wird aus Mitteln des Förderprogramms Grenzgänger der Robert Bosch Stiftung unterstützt.

Adresse: Sh. Dadianistr. 2, 0105 Tbilisi

Europe House has the pleasure to invite you to

The Woman with the 5 Elephants

Film screening with the attendance of the director, Vadim Jendreyko, moderated by film historian Teo Khatiashvili

Die Frau mit den 5 Elefanten, Switzerland 2009, 93 min., German with English and Georgian subtitles, director: Vadim Jendreyko

The 5 elephants are Dostoyevsky's great literary works, all of which have been translated by the 87-year-old Svetlana Geier, considered the world's most masterful translator of Russian literature into German. The filmmaker visits with a woman whose fascinating, dramatic life story has been colored by some of the most violent events in 20th century European history: Stalin's purges of the kulaks (responsible for her father's death) and the Nazi occupation of the Ukraine (ultimately responsible for saving her life and leading to a university education in Germany). A rigorous intellectual whom we're privileged to watch parse the language, word by word, with her colleague, she warms the screen with the depths of her dignity and humanity. Language as a civilizing force is the thread that runs through Geier's life, and it illuminates every minute of the film.

Supported by the Robert Bosch Foundation with funding from the Border Crossers programme.
