In the framework of the TCP on Art and Culture´s project “Meet the Culture – Alps-Adriatic Network” an excursion to Bad Eisenkappel/Železna Kapla in Carinthia will be offered on Friday May 18th 2018:
Concerning the 2nd World War Bad Eisenkappel has a very interesting resistance history. Partisan memorials and descendants of Slovenian speaking partisans as well as contemporary regional cultural initiatives will be visited. The participants will have the opportunity to meet with contemporary artists from both Slovenia and Carinthia and discuss how history affects the present situation in the area. The excursion will be accompanied by the local theologian Božo Hartmann who is also very focused on the local history.
As on the previous trips to Slovenia and Vas this excursion also offers the possibility to network culturally across borders and to learn about possible funding opportunities, such as the Alps-Adriatic-Alliance.
