                    <description><![CDATA[Ok, the six weeks are almost over... the script to the animated story is written and all backgrounds finished. All “actors”/ “acting parts” are constructed and are ready to be filmed. Today (Sunday) the kids will record surrounding sounds and voices for their little movie.  Saturday night everybody told some campfire horror stories in their tents…let’s say they all slept tight ;) <br />

                    <link>http://loreto.tigblog.org/post/769235</link> 
                    <description><![CDATA[Due to the omnipresent (swine) flu, our team is reduced to 15 participants ☹ but it didn’t keep us from having a great time. <br />
The Stop Motion Picture (SMP) group produced short animated clips – made of single images/ photographs mounted together as a “photo-film”. After a short introduction in how to use a digital camera (for those who didn’t participate 2008) small groups organized and realized their own little films all by themselves – great work ☺ !<br />
Meanwhile the video group (separated by nature and urbanity) interviewed each other, their “profe” Edison and Eduardo Torres the owner of the finca. The kids asked question about reforestation and its meaning to the forest, the animals living in it and at least to us humans who live surrounded by trees and the ones in the cities. The material will be part of the video, which the kids will present at the end of this year’s workshops… wir sind gespannt!<br />

                    <description><![CDATA[So, three weekends are done by now and there will be three more to go! The kids got to know this years artists and are already into the different works, doing great with there first video experiences. <br />
<br />
Mariuxi showed her group of kids, what is important while handling a videocamera and what kind of shots can be helpful for creating an interesting szenario. The camera kids are interviewing each other and people around them concerning different topics like life in the city, reforestation and how to evoid littering and why it is important to not destroy what nature is offering.<br />
<br />
The other group, supervised by Belén, is preparing their first Stop Motion Picture. They already drew different backgrounds and elements for their little movie. Upcoming weekend they will take the first pictures....<br />

                    <description><![CDATA[This years workshops are about to begin! The kids are chosen and ready to be part of the bambúProjekt 2009. Their turor and supervisor from the Streetchild-Organization "Chicos de la calle" Don Bosco Edison Flores told us, that they are in great anticipation of the upcoming workshops and are eager to get to know the new artists. This years workshopleaders on the other side, are also very happy and anxious for getting to Quito and meeting the kids. <br />
All preparation are being made and we wish everybody the best of luck and fun. Hopefully we can achieve the same publicity and impact we accomplished in 2008! And most importantly have a great time with the „Chicos“ in bringing some new points of view to their little lives ☺<br />

                    <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w74/lekilie/DSC_0444.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
<br />
Merry Christmas from the whole bambúTeam and a Happy New Year 2009 !<br />
<br />
<br />
Workshops und Ausstellung 2008 - REPORT<br />
<br />
Liebe Unterstützer des bambúProjektes, <br />
<br />
die Workshops und die anschließende Ausstellung sind ein voller Erfolg gewesen und zur Zufriedenheit aller Beteiligten verlaufen. Vor allem für die Kinder war es eine schöne und wichtige Erfahrung. Dies haben wir nur Dank Ihrer großzügigen Unterstützung schaffen können! Wir möchten uns hiermit ganz herzlich bedanken! <br />
<br />
Hier nun ein Bericht darüber, was wir genau gemacht haben. <br />
<br />
Nach langen Vorbereitungen begann unser Künstlerteam am 16. August mit den Workshops. Für insgesamt sechs aufeinanderfolgende Wochenenden wurden die 17 Kinder (Jungen und Mädchen zwischen 9 und 13 Jahre) mit einem gemieteten Kleinbus direkt vom Straßenkinderprojekt »Proyecto Salesiano: Chicos de la Calle« abgeholt und nach 90 Minuten Fahrt auf die in der Nähe des Dorfes Nanegalito liegende Finka von Eduardo Torres gebracht. Die Finka liegt im ecuadorianischen Bergnebelwald zwei Stunden nordwestlich von Quito, wo sich ein üppiges und teilsweise unberührtes Ökosystem befindet. Samstag und Sonntag wurde auf der Finka und dem umgebenden Gebiet geforscht, experimentiert, gemalt, gezeichnet, fotografiert, getüftelt. Gemeinsam mit den Künstlerinnen Neus Cortes und Silvia Santonja aus Valencia (Spanien) und dem Hamburger Künstler Niklas Hausser konnten verschiedene Herangehensweisen künstlerischer Ausdrucksformen untersucht und angewandt werden. Nach diesem ersten Kennenlernen wurden drei Gruppen gebildet, die sich für die restliche Zeit auf ein künstlerisches Gebiet festlegte. Die Kinder konnten sich für einen der drei Workshops entscheiden. Neus betreute die Gruppe Malerei, Silvia arbeitete mit einer Gruppe an Skulpturen und Zeichnungen und Niklas führte an den Umgang mit analogen und digitalen Fotokameras heran, wobei er die Bildfindung schließlich den Kindern überließ. <br />
<br />
Die anfängliche Scheu gegenüber den Leitern und der Technik wich schnell einer dynamischen Atmosphäre von Neugier und Experimentierfreude. An den Abenden und zwischendurch gab es andere Aktivitäten: selbstreflexive Gruppenaktionen, Baden im Fluss, Fußball spielen, durch den Wald laufen, Lagerfeuer machen und Diashows mit Fotos vom Tag ansehen. Es war nicht nur eine produktive, sondern auch eine herzliche Atmosphäre, die dazu führte, das sich Silvia auch wochentags mit den Kindern traf, um etwas über deren Alltag zu lernen und um gemeinsam Material für die Skulpturen ausfindig zu machen. <br />
<br />
In der Fotografiegruppe wurden nach einer sehr kurzen Einführung in die Funktionsweise von Kameras von den sechs Kindern und dem Künstler gemeinsam Bilder mit einer digitalen Spiegelreflexkamera (DSLR) gemacht. Einige – inszenierte und freie – Aufnahmen später gab es eine Diskussion über das entstandene Bildmaterial. Grundsätzliche Aspekte wie Komposition und Farben, Vorder-, Mittel- und Hintergrund etc. konnten an konkreten Beispielen erläutert werden. Die Kinder sollten anhand der Techniken eigene Wege finden können, wobei die Grundlagen als Hilfe beim Einstieg wie beim Experimentieren dienten. Durch die Möglichkeit direkt nach der Aufnahme das Ergebnis zu sehen (LCD-Monitor), konnte unmittelbar Einfluss auf das Bildergebnis genommen werden. Vom Fotografieren mit analogen Einwegkameras über das Arbeiten mit der DSLR-Kamera in der Gruppe bis zur Realisierung eigener Aufnahmen mit digitalen Kompaktkameras zu Hause, in der Familie oder auf der Strasse – überall entstanden ästhetisch beeindruckende Arbeiten.<br />
<br />
Zusammen mit den Gemälden und den Skulpturen der anderen beiden Gruppen wurden die Fotografien in Quito, der Hauptstadt Ecuadors, ausgestellt. Unter dem Titel »Yo veo esto – tu que ves?« (Ich sehe das – was siehst du?) waren die Arbeiten vom 8. bis zum 25. Oktober 2008 im Centro Cultural Metropolitano, dem renommiertesten Museum für Kunst und Kultur der Stadt, zu sehen. Unterstützt und eröffnet wurde die äußerst publikumswirksame Ausstellung vom deutschen Botschafter in Ecuador Christian Berger unter Anwesenheit aller zwanzig Künstler/innen. Das Kulturdezernat der Stadt stellte uns uns Flyer und Plakate für die Ausstellung zur Verfügung. Die Ausstellung selber wurde also viel größer als erwartet. <br />
<br />
Besonders schön war es dabei, die Kinder zu sehen. Diese Kinder, die normalerweise - wenn überhaupt - verächtliche oder auch mitleidige Blicke bekommen, konnten ihre Arbeiten darstellen, die Besucher hörten ihnen zu und brachten ihnen Interesse entgegen. Damit haben wir hoffentlich dazu beigetragen, den gleichgültigen Blick, mit dem diese Kinder oft gesehen werden, zu verändern und die Kinder als die sensiblen und kreativen Individuen sichtbar zu machen, die sie sind. Die Ausstellung war also eine große Bestätigung unseres Projektes und unserer Idee; die größte Bestätigung erhielten wir aber im Nachhinein, als uns Edison Flores, der Betreuer vom Straßenkinderprojekt, erzählte, dass einige Eltern von unseren Kindern auf ihn zugegangen wären, um ihm zu erzählen, wie ausgeglichen und fröhlich ihre Kinder seit kurzem seien. <br />
<br />
Die Kinder erreicht, ihr Selbstwertgefühl gesteigert und sie damit in ihrer persönlichen Entwicklung unterstützt zu haben, das ist für uns die schönste und wichtigste Bestätigung und gleichzeitig Motivation weiter zu machen! <br />
<br />
Wir bedanken und ganz herzlich für Ihre Unterstützung, ohne die dieses Projekt nicht möglich gewesen wäre! Eine Videodokumentation zu den Workshops und der Ausstellung von Marcelo Oviedo finden Sie auf unserer Webseite www.bambuprojekt.org. <br />
<br />
Wir sind derzeit mit den Vorbereitungen für neue Workshops im nächsten Jahr beschäftigt und wir hoffen, dass wir weiterhin Gelegenheit haben werden, unser Projekt voranzutreiben und auszubauen. Unsere Hoffnung ist, dass einige der Kinder bald so weit sind, dass sie selber Workshops mitleiten und andere Kinder unterstützen können. Wir haben viele neue Freunde in Quito gefunden, die uns vor Ort unterstützen und uns helfen wollen, dass Projekt lokal nachhaltig zu gestalten. <br />
<br />
<br />
Das Ziel des bambúProjektes umfasst verschiedene Aspekte:<br />
<br />
Zum einen soll unterprivilegierten Kindern, die auf der Straße arbeiten und/ oder leben, eine Möglichkeit an die Hand gegeben werden, im Austausch mit Künstler/innen neue Erfahrungen zu machen, ein anderes Umfeld/eine andere Umwelt kennenzulernen. Die Stärkung des Selbstwertgefühls steht dabei im Mittelpunkt, erleben diese Kinder in ihrem Alltag doch weder Bestätigung noch Zuspruch, sondern meist Ablehnung oder – im besten Fall – vollkommenes Ignoriertwerden. Daher auch der zweite zentrale Aspekt des bambúProjektes: den Kindern durch das Ausstellen ihrer Arbeiten eine Plattform zu geben, die Dialoge ermöglicht, eine Plattform sowohl für die Kinder als auch für die Besucher, seien es Bewohner, Touristen, Angestellte, Verkäufer, Taxifahrer, Diplomaten, Arbeitslose oder Künstler. Durch die Begegnung auf einer anderen neuen Ebene findet eine Öffnung statt, können einige Dinge klarer hervortreten, Verständnis gefördert werden und insbesondere wird den Beteiligten wie Besuchern die Unmöglichkeit deutlich, Menschen per se nach dem Augenschein zu beurteilen. Durch die Kunst lässt sich plötzlich vieles verstehen, was vorher schwierig zu beschreiben war. <br />
<br />
Das »Proyecto Salesiano«, in dem die Kinder einen Anlaufpunkt haben und wo sie Bildung wie auch Verpflegung bekommen, wird die Bereiche in denen während des bambúProjekts gearbeitet wurde in Zukunft weiter anbieten, so dass die Kinder ihre im Projektverlauf entwickelten Fähigkeiten erweitern und im nächsten Jahr weitermachen können – gemeinsam mit anderen Kindern, denen sie dann neue Wege zeigen. <br />
<br />
bambúProjekt e.V. ist gemeinnütziger Verein mit Sitz in Hamburg. Auf Initiative von Lorena Torres wurde der Verein von Studierenden der Hochschule für bildende Künste und der Universität Hamburg im Januar 2008 gegründet. Er hat aktive Mitglieder in Deutschland, Spanien, Ecuador, der Schweiz, Dänemark und den USA. Der Verein realisiert seine Projekte über Spenden und die unermüdliche Volontärsarbeit seiner Mitglieder.<br />
 <br />
<br />
Bei Neuigkeiten wird es in Zukunft eine eMail geben, wenn ihr die Up-to-Date-Mails nicht bekommen möchtet, bitte einfach eine Mail an newsletter@bambuprojekt.org schicken und ihr werdet von der Liste genommen.<br />
<br />
Allen also ein Frohes Fest, ruhige Feiertage und einen guten Rutsch 2009!!<br />
<br />
Hasta la Proxima !<br />

Everything is coming together very nicely as our artists, Niklas, Neus  Silvia are in Ecuador right now finishing last minute preparations before all the fun starts on Saturday. We have worked very hard and are excited to see how all our efforts are paying off. We sincerely appreciate everyone who has lent a helping hand and we couldn't have made this possible without all the generous help. We are looking forward to updating everyone with all the happenings during the workshops and the upcoming exhibitions.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[Sorry for not posting in a while, but we've been busy working hard ;) we are now proud to present: bambúProjekt e.V.! After months of paper work, we are finally a "Gemeinnütziger Verein" (NGO), so now we can go BIG ;). This is a big challenge for all of us that we happily accept. Our group is also becoming bigger and bigger and it's really surprising to see how paths are crossing in life and how many people are out there that want to make a change. Family and Friends are supporting us, we've also made some very nice new acquaintances and, of course, we're grateful for the old friendships that have come alive!  We are now represented in 5 countries and all sharing the same goal. To everyone, our kind thanks.<br />
 <br />
We are also trying to make our progress and information more accessible to you, so we are creating a new website where you will be able to find all the information you might need. If you are interested in Partnerships, Memberships or Volunteering, please contact us info at bambuprojekt.org. <br />
We are also calling now for Sponsorship and Fundraising for our Workshops, which will take place from August to October this year. Please know that even the smallest contribution can make a big difference to our cause. Through your donations and help, you can aid our progress. Gracias!]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[What are the goals of this project?<br />
<br />
The streetchildren issue<br />
<br />
The problematic nature of there being street children Over 5000 children live and work in the streets of Quito, the capital of Ecuador. The goal of this project is to give some of these children a retreat from their daily lives and to strengthen their self-esteem. We want to offer help by showing the children their own creativity in an area of unspoiled nature, which living in the city, they have never known. Our team of artists, and students, from the Academy of Fine Arts Hamburg (HfBK), the University of Hamburg, and the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de Valencia, want to bring together our different individual backgrounds in an effort to give these children a positive experience.<br />
<br />
Through working with the organization Proyecto educativo chicos de la calle*, which has been active since the 70s, we will get to know a group of 25 street children. This project will take place in the region of Nanegalito in the Ecuadorian cloud forest. There, we will carry out the artistic workshops with the children. They will be able to express themselves through different mediums of art (painting, photography, film). The contact with nature and the sharpening of their perception throughout this experience will help the children to forget their daily lives and to discover and use their creativity. During this learning process, what we want to innate and encourage is that of experiencing and discovering, of reflecting and valuing themselves as well as their environment. One of the goals of these workshops is that all participants- the children as well as ourselves- get the chance to discover and to learn something about each other and themselves. *this project of the catholic salesian order has various institutions in seven Ecuadorian cities. They provide help for children who work and live in the streets. The main goal is to give the children human warmth and support as well as the possibility of a school and professional education.<br />
<br />
Providing a base for further projects<br />
<br />
With this project, we want to create something sustainable. Through the wonderful opportunity to freely use and work on a Finca in the Ecuadorian cloud forest (one of the world’s most endangered ecological systems with the largest diversity of species per km²), we were able – thanks to private donation – to carry out our first workshop and to renovate a room ideal for our needs. This room will be used, along with the local people, according to ecological aspects. It will be a working place (workshops, atelier…), with a room for meetings, which can also be used as a guest room. Furthermore we would like to create, together with a Swiss engineer who knows the place, a sewage system which is safe to the environment. We also want to build a small water-driven power station to provide electricity. The renovated cabin will continue to serve as a place for workshops with children, as well as a home for future projects.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Realization of the project<br />
<br />
The determination of every member of the bambuProjekt to get involved is the result of everyone's enthusiasm and willingness to change things. The largest part of the team already know the country and people and have experience which will benefit the project. Lorena is from Quito and familiar with the cloud forest region. Jonas has lived in Ecuador and worked with our partner organization in Quito. Anna worked with youth organizations in Mexico. Niklas travels every year to Ecuador and could already realize various exhibitions. Rene went to Ecuador this summer for the first time and carried out the workshops together with Niklas. Tim already stayed various times in Ecuador, the last time during an eight month-study trip within the scope of the expedition-Welt.de We are absolutely convinced of our idea and we will put all our strength into this project. Help and support, even with unexpected problems, are guaranteed through our friends and families in Ecuador. With over 5000 children living in the streets of Quito, 25 of them could be seen as nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But it is a beginning, a model project, a realizable project which later can be extended. The important thing is to get started, to try to make a difference even when the beginning is small. It’s about starting an idea, turning this idea into reality, advertising this idea, making it public and creating a snowball-effect.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
How was the idea of the project born?<br />
<br />
Lorena is from Quito and familiar with the everyday scenes of the 2 million capital of Ecuador. The children beg at every traffic light for some centavos and sell roses even before dawn, with temperatures around 6 degrees in the Andean city. Because of visiting her father's finca during weekends, she is also aware of the threats of extinction for the forest's flora and fauna posed by illegal hunting, deforestation and the Petroleros' oil pipelines. Interested in these topics she met like-minded people who are experienced in nature conservation and youth work. Inspired by these many encounters with dedicated people and at the same time fascinated by the forest's flora and fauna she initiated our project:<br />
<br />
A project which helps to solve social concerns by using the given possibilities. Art-students from Germany and Spain will develop strategies to utilize the environment (e.g. the subtropical cloud forest) with the children in a free and creative way. The result of the collaboration between the children of Quito and the committed European students will be presented to the public through an exposition. We want our artistic approach to be understood initially as a way of describing, with suitable methods, the complex problems faced by the street children. Secondly, the artistic result is meant to point out a social problem, and help reflect it, without having to state a solution. <br />
<br />
Conclusion: We want to draw the attention of the public to the above addressed problems.<br />
<br />
