A massive amount of works were produced. It will be difficult to make a selection of both a virtual and a physical exhibition, because the quality of the works produced by Aivis, Alise, Urte, Monika; Athanasia, Kaya, Laurène, Aristeio, Lucrezia, Annapaola, Màrio, Daniela, Aleksandr, Tiia, Ida, Marianna, Qiqi, Francesca, Thomas, Artus, Luisa, Theodora, Krista, Alexandra, Evelyn, Klara, Svan, Adèla, Julie, Ibrahim, Christoffer, Daniel, Ryan, Hayley, Nicole, György, Fanni, Patryk and Joanna is amazing.

As Daniel says, the results speak for themselves:

Denmark…and the workshopweek has started!

In March the Alter Ego project (the EUNIC project, one of the flagships of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue) started with a meeting, setting up the whole project. And look, today we are in the middle of the first workshopday. The winners of the Europeanwide competition arrived yesterday…and it is indeed exciting to see how all cultures and nationalities mingle here with one common interest share their artistic/creative qualities together.

We have an amazing group of artists here. Richard Sammel, Olivier Cherki, Senso, Greg Avau, Hanna Siira, Anne Schönharting, Alain Mbaki Makengo, Redas Drizys, Daniel Scott, Sabina Grigorieva, Nathalie Vasco, Elena Crisanti and Reiu Tuur are giving the best of themselves. And work with 40 youngsters from 22 countries on unique art pieces.

Thanks the the youth press agency StampMedia you can follow the daily work online and later on there will be a documentary made of the week.

The results of the workshop will travel through the Internet via a virtual exhibition later this year and some of the works will also be part of a physical exhibition, travelling through Europe in 2009.

The day after

A real warm ‘thank you’ to everyone for being there, for helping out. Blogboat 1.0. was inspiring thanks to you all. A report will be available soon and C.H.I.P.S.vzw is also planning to make a small publication. But for now, just look at the different twitter streams (afternoon and evening) and the AppelfanBE photos, as well as the post of LVB and Dorien Aerts on the onlinejournalismblog to grasp a first impression.
