Škola tradicijskog pjevanja: Zapjevajmo kako su nas učili za odrasle

The project was designed because during the successful multi-year implementation of the program "Zakantajmo kako su vadili / Let's sing as we were taught", intended mainly for primary schools pupils of the older grades of elementary schools, thanks to frequent inquiries from adults whether they could attend that educational classes and workshops, we realised that there exists the need and great interest in this type of education among the adult population. The interest is not surprising, since organized teaching of adults, whose aim and purpose is the acquisition of knowledge and skills, but also the discovery and adoption of the legality necessary to preserve the traditional way of singing, almost does not exist at all in any of the partner countries. Namely, during the joint development of the project application, knowledge was confirmed about almost equal opportunities in all participating partner countries, when it comes to the lack of systematic acquisition of knowledge and skills organized for adults with the purpose of preserving, improving and promoting the traditional way of singing, especially that of klapa way of singing.

The goals of the Project are: - learning the legality of the traditional way of singing with an emphasis on klapa singing as a valuable component of the internationally recognized traditional way of singing that is on the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage, - implementation of concepts and practice in practicing voice technique - efficient presentation of the songs and performances - expansion of cross-border connections - training in the field of using new technologies for the purpose of better and faster communication for the purpose of education - group nurturing of songs of the cultural heritage of all countries participating in the Project in all partner countries of the Project - promotion of cultural and artistic creativity and amateurism in Croatia and in all the countries participating in the Project

We carried out the following activities in the Project: - 4 physical transnational partnership meetings - 17 ZOOM partnership meetings - Learning, Teaching, Training Activities (LTTA) - development of the main project result "Traditional (Klapa) Singing Handbook with Syllabus" - Workshop of traditional (klap) singing, which represented the practical application and evaluation of the main project result " Traditional (klapa) Singing Handbook with Syllabus" outside the partnership - recording of publicly available audio recordings recorded during the implementation of Traditional (Klapa) Singing Workshop held in all partner countries of the Project and their public publication on the Project's website - 5 final dissemination events with a multiplying effect – one final dissemination event was held in each partner country of the Project
