Kristine Fenuka, Project Manager at the "Latvia's Philharmonics" in Riga, Latvia went to the "Bratislava in Movement Association", Slovakia in 2002
I am very satisfied with the placement in Bratislava. Developing my skills in management and establishing new contacts, is already a great achievement. But I also had the chance to experience another culture which really added to my personal development.
During my placement I worked on a workshop at the Gallery of Modern Art in Danubiana, There, authors were looking for a possibility to link visual art, music and movement theatre. I got an unique view on how to connect various arts in one performance. I learned by active participation at the workshop and in all performances. That was really a great experience.
Later I was directly involved in organising the annual dance festival "Bratislava on Movement". I learned a lot about Slovak cultural life and organisations. And most important, I could establish a lot of useful contacts for future collaborations.
I really hope this programme will continue, because I think that cultural and professional exchange is needed especially between young arts managers and organisations.
Alexander Ivanovski, Freelance Theatre Director in Veles, Macedonia, went to the ARIEL Theatre in Tirgu-Mures, Romania in 2000
During my placement at the ARIEL Theatre I directed a theatre performance. It was great to work with Romanian actors both from the ARIEL Theatre and the National Theatre. This experience gave me a very good view on what and how these actors want to express on stage.
The theatre managers I met widened my image on the theatre situation in Romania and showed me possibilities for future collaborations between Romanian and Macedonian theatres.
Now, I have a much clearer image of what an independent theatre should do to maintain its existence. I got an inside view in terms of organising, funding and establishing international partnerships.
For me as a theatre director, this experience was the beginning of an artistic collaboration with ARIEL and also other theatres from Romania. We had the idea of creating a network of independent theatres from Romania, Bulgaria and Macedonia that would also work on international theatre performances.
I think Gulliver Connect is a very useful programme to establish international contacts and create a basis for future projects and collaborations, which is especially important for young theatre and art professionals and their creative development.
Alisa Sargsyan, Pianist and Head of Marketing and Music Management Department of Armenian Musical Assembly from Yerevan, Armenia went to the Dublin Fringe Festival, Ireland in 2005
Gulliver Connect greatly exceeded my expectations. It is exactly the type of cultural exchange young professionals need. I believe that it is important for arts managers to get in touch with different approaches. You can compare them and adopt the most appropriate ones to the home conditions. Especially small, developing countries like Armenia need this kind of international experience.
Through my work placement I gained knowledge in new management practices. I became more confident about my own work which even motivated me to continue my dissertation.
I also had the opportunity to forge professional contacts, with the Irish Composers Union and the Contemporary Music Centre of Dublin for instance. We are now intending to establish a cultural exchange between Armenia and Ireland.
Siobhan Wall, Freelance Artist, Writer and Teacher from Amsterdam, Netherlands went to the "Open Society Institute and Wings of Time" in Baku, Azerbaijan in 2006
My placement at the "Open Society Institute and Wings of Time" gave me the opportunity to work with women's groups, offer workshops for children at IDP (Internally Displaced People) schools and talk to university/ fine art students.
The stay has already had a positive effect, in that I have been invited by "Education Forward" to return to Azerbaijan and run workshops for teachers and pupils. In addition, my interest in producing accessible, attractive publications for visitors to art galleries was revived. Now, I hope to carry out postgraduate research on how to help young visitors engage with a range of different images and expand on their existing knowledge of visual culture.
My motivation to participate in the Gulliver's Connect programme was to meet artists and people from organisations which support women in Azerbaijan, a country currently undergoing cultural and economic transition. Additionally, I wanted to broaden my knowledge about Islamic art and culture because this is an important source for my own paintings.
The visit exceeded my expectations, in particular the work I did with children in the IDP schools. I was also surprised and pleased by how much people trusted me, especially their willingness to let me run art workshops; something I am not so used to in the West.
The Centre for Contemporary Arts in Ljubljana (SCCA), Slovenia hosted Robert Alagjozovski, Programme Manager for "Decentralized culture" of the Cultural Centre Tocka, Macedonia in 2005
I think that being a host organisation has proven to be very beneficial to SCCA. The centre was able to re-establish links and exchange experiences with some South-Eastern Europeans. Now it is possible to restore contacts to different art organisations in this area providing long-term international co-operations and networks.
Working at our centre showed Robert the benefits of being member of the European Union. Especially Slovenia, as a state with strong connections to ex-Yugoslavian countries, is an ideal place for experiencing actual processes and future planning for someone coming from a country that has just applied for becoming candidate for the EU membership.
Dušan Dovč, SCCA
International Cultural Exchange Society (ICES), Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, hosted Sevda Rasulova, Baku, Azerbaijan in 2000
It is important for an organisation like the ICES to share ideas and experiences on arts and culture with people from many different countries and international organisations. We generally learned a lot about the position and perception of arts and culture in Azerbaijan from hosting Sevda.
Before hosting Sevda we did not have any working relations with cultural organisation from Azerbaijan. That is why we would very much like to continue and extend the contacts we have now to Sevda's home organisation. And hopefully we will be able to host artists form Azerbaijan for ICES projects.
I think that Gulliver Connect is an excellent programme. It has provided Sevda with a great international experience and offered ICES more knowledge and contacts to let our organisation grow internationally.
Leah McLennan, ICES
Forum Stadtpark in Graz, Austria, hosted Basak Senova, Director of NOMAD - Digital Culture, Istanbul, Turkey in 2005
Our organisation was very happy to work with Basak. She taught us a lot about the Turkish art scene and also about new ways of realising projects. She easily found contact to the staff and due to her personality and her language skills she made communication a pleasure.
As Basak worked for "atelier" she had close contact with local artists. She carried out a broad research on the Austrian visual art scene with a focus on new media which she presented in the end of her placement.
Further collaboration is already planned! Basak will execute a media art event at Forum Stadtpark next year.
I think Gulliver Connect should continue! The exchange of people, experiences and views is one of the most important issues (not only in Europe). Thus people from different countries learn about and from each other. This helps to fight against preoccupations and increase understanding and tolerance.
Anton Lederer, Forum Stadtpark
West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds, United Kingdom, hosted Milan Govedarica, Project Manager at NADA Project, National Theatre of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia & Montenegro in 2004
Milan reacted with great professionalism and enthusiasm during the placement. He showed interest and engagement with the work of the Playhouse and that of other theatre practitioners in Britain. He made genuine friends from the Playhouse and our associated artists and colleagues.
The experience has given us a good working relationship with a new writing organisation in Eastern Europe. We have discovered and been able to develop these links which seem to have evolved into very natural mutual projects. International new writing has been an area of interest to the theatre but without good contacts it doesn't flourish. It was of benefit to have Milan's help and input into our work.
We have very exciting plans for the future. The Playhouse is hoping to build on the existing strong relationship between NADA project and the National Theatre Studio (GB) to create a partnership that would help develop and promote new Serbian plays in Britain.
In Leeds we will do readings of three plays by Serbian writers.
