Day 9

The morning session was fully dedicated to the discussion about the project and the concert. During this session participants shared their thoughts and experience and their future visions about the possible projects that may have been born during the 9 days of the project.

Everyone could clearly understand their role in the project, understand if this role is meeting the aim they were expecting in the beginning of the project through discussing it with others members of the team.

Then the participants discussed the results of the final event, all the issues that have raised during the preparation to the event, shared newly acquired knowledge and experience, and evaluated their own part in the project.

During the next discussion, participants shared their thoughts about all the elements of the ESSENCE course and about the whole course in general, and, of course, about the future possibilities of Erasmus+ projects in their home countries. Participants shared their thoughts on such topics as what type of events are interesting for them both as cultural product consumers and as cultural event organizers.

The last event of the day was the farewell dinner. It happened in a very pleasant, informal atmosphere, giving a possibility to all the participants to share their personal thoughts and emotions with other participants of the project, and to exchange contacts.

Everyone got a memorable souvenir from the hosts of the project and will get a certificate about the course completion.

This day was fully dedicated to the final preparations for the final ESSENCE Concept project event — concert of the group BARAKA.

Day 7

During the morning session the project participants were working in the teams as usual in order to deal with technical issues that are arising during any cultural event organisation and before the ESSENCE Concept concert.

Day 6

During the first session of the day participants had a short introduction about the financial part of cultural event organization. After that they got a practical task of developing a financial strategy for some nominal event.

Day 5

The first session of the day was a meeting with the organizers of the local cultural event festival Give & Get. Meeting was held outside of LAMPA space and in more informal atmosphere. During this session participants could get the inside information about large scale event organization. As the festival is not a commercial event, participants were able to find out about how to attract volunteers to work at the festival, to get practical experiences that are connected with social and cultural event organization. Also this was another possibility to exchange contacts and experience with local experienced representatives working in the field of cultural event organization.

Day 4

At the first session of the day, participants have received vital information about press releases, presented by the course trainer Sergey Bremer who as a journalist himself has a huge experience in this field.
