Grundtvig
The Cities on Water Centre was admitted to the funding of the Grundtvig program for the project entitled “Rivers of Change.
Connecting - Learning - Creating” whose research focus will be the river and its potential use as a public space open to all. The objective is to develop a new partnership between cities where the water, the communities, art and culture can meet, within the framework of a European and international intercultural dialogue.
The following cities are partners in the project: Warsaw, Poland (federation of Independent Filmmakers and STEP-Association for Education and Progress), Vienna, Austria (Danube Island Festival), Lisbon, Portugal (EGEAC-Management of Facilities and Cultural Animation Enterprise), Dublin, Ireland (Temple Bar Cultural Trust) and Venice, Italy (Cities on Water).
The Grundtvig sectorial program responds to the education and learning needs of persons involved in every form of adult education, as well as the institutes and organizations responsible for assisting this type of instruction.
In the near future all the project documentations will be collected in a dedicated web site space..
