From 26th of June till 2nd of July 50 participants from Estonia, Spain, Denmark, Poland, United Kingdom and the Netherlands met together in Amsterdam to Celebrate Creativity. The participants started to discover local realities and explored the neighbourhood. During the time in Amsterdam we have explored local realities and started the preparation of the festival in the neighbourhood where the participants took part in activities.
The Idea of the festival was to increase creativity level in the area and create a community crossover. During the week the participants of the project prepared performances, workshops with kids and local communities, made the presentations of their native countries and participated in many creative activities. Highlight of the festival was a costume parade and dance performances from participants. Through long-term partnership between the project organization and the creative community of Liverpool was it possible to ship handmade carnival costumes from the U.K. To Amsterdam.
The project was a huge success and had the expected outcome.
