About this project
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif"><span style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)">The main goal of the project is to improve dissemination of professional cultural products and services in the Panevėžys region and to ensure equal accessibility; to encourage creativity of adults, children and young people by facilitating their participation in cultural education activities and to expand cooperation boundaries of Panevėžys region's cultural organizations. It is planned to implement the project with partners - Panevėžys district Naujamiestis Cultural Center-Art Gallery and Voss Cultural School from Norway. Through inclusive activities of this initiated international project and participatory learning, Panevėžys District Municipality is taking a step towards improving the availability and quality of cultural services and strengthening cultural education in the Panevėžys region. The Voss model aims to train team leaders to work at all levels, i. e. to train current and future conductors of orchestras, bands, choirs, vocal music groups, folklore ensembles and groups. Through individual lessons, the Voss model provides an opportunity for young leaders to gain professional hands-on experience with a variety of ensembles while strengthening their close connection to local musical life. This model raises the level of leaders of existing ensembles (Ist mentoring phase) and discovers new, ambitious talents (IInd mentoring phase) in the field of leadership of a musical ensemble: existing ensemble leaders are provided with the skills to train young, future ensemble leaders, thus creating a network of qualified teachers who can train a new generation of musical ensemble leaders. It is hoped that the Norwegian experience will improve the quality of leadership in music groups, emphasizing the role of the band leader, conditions for the development of cultural life and musical level, maintain existing and encourage new people to join the diverse cultural life of their region. </span></span></span></p>
