Von: Marlen Hoesselbarth <[email protected]> Datum: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 19:16:19 +0200 Invitation "An intercultural Garden to grow with and to create with" august, 2nd to august, 9th 2009 in Apold in Transylvania/Romania www.tr-a-pold.net We invite members of the association MitOst and other interested people to join a garden-artistic project in the small romanian village Apold. The village and its Parish House The village of Apold (German: Trappold) is 15 km south of Sighisoara (germ. Schäßburg, hung. Segesvár) in southern Transylvania in Romania. Apold was founded in the 13th century by German settlers, the Transylvanian Saxons. Today the village counts over 800 inhabitants, almost all Romanians and Roma. The garden of the old Parish house in Apold, which lost its original function as a result of the immigration of the Transylvanian Saxons during the 20th century and was untenanted for some years, is huge and splendid. Since three years, the local Association casApold make the effort to animate house and garden. Agenda Together with the participants, invited garden- and nature-artists and villagers, we want to bring a new use to a part of the garden by means of natural architecture and artistic gardening. Priority objective is, to associate the components of nature and culture with a direct benefit in a creative and artistic way. Thereby, we want to create with you a garden, whose basic structure consists of living materials like willow. In emerging niches solar showers and water games are going to be constructed. A fundamental component is the joint work process. After seven days team accomplishment, the work of art will be an impressive sight. Painting activities, a movie night, village exploration and an excursion to the rural surroundings are also included in the programme, moreover, the nearby town Sighisoara, UNESCO World Heritage Side can be visited. We will celebrate the conclusion of the workshop with a garden-party. Background This water-willow-garden should be experienced by the guests of the guesthouse both as a garden-artistic object and used as summer shower- garden. The garden site will be amended by compost-toilets and is understood as addition to the washing facilities of the Parish House. Hereby, the sensitiveness and valuableness of the element water should be demonstrated in a creative and garden-artistic way for intercultural groups, which regular visit the Guest House. It should be shown, that alternative models for an economical but still effective use of water is possible without any sustainable pollution. The workshop is embedded in the project “Green trApPOLD - Public green and open spaces in the rural area of Transylvania using Apold as a model”. This project of interdisciplinary quality involves components of landscape architecture, care for historical monuments, development of tourism, environmental education, nature conservation and environmental protection as well as of inter cultural dialogue and community building.
