The project Empathic storytelling shoes draws its strength from new museology that believes that through direct action in the community to preserve and revitalize the heritage, it is achieving a spiritual flourishing of the community itself. In our project, heritage is an inherited ability for empathy. The spread of empathy would be to revolutionize interpersonal relationships and lessen the injustices and troubles that modern Europeans are facing. Through literary and fine arts workshops, young people become aware of the problems of modern men, especially those on the edge of society. They enjoy the lives of people by writing confessions from the shoes of the weak and disenfranchised. The shoes are painted with art history motifs that are analog in character and emotion with the confession attached. Pupils exchange experiences, change their perspectives, create understanding and exclude intolerance. Through the arts, they practice empathy!
During the last four years, the schools from Croatia, Portugal, and Romania were creating a project that was fostering empathy.
The schools are: Gimnazija "Matija Mesić" Slavonski Brod, Croatia,
Agrupamento de Escolas de Santo André, Barreiro, Portugal and
Liceul de arte vizuale "Romulus Ladea", Cluj, Romania.
Despite new circumstances caused by the pandemic, we didn`t give up.
We made a lot of art workshops, online meetings, and exhibitions.
In this book, we present our efforts to combat obstacles and conserve our mental health in difficult times.
We hope that you will be enjoying looking next pages. Let˙s go!
After the first online meetings and first talks, we realized art workshops during the winter of 2020. All students get the task of creat self-portraits under the mask. It was a really difficult time for all of us. Some of us were ill and some of us stayed at home in isolation. The students applied different techniques of drawing. At the end of the workshops, we made a 3D online exhibition on the platform Artsteps.
