The meetings of the heritage workshops have turned into an educational module dedicated to the communities of children gathered around the three monuments we deal with. The project started this year on April 20-21 with workshops on the theme “the urban planner” held in Olari and Câmpulung Muscel.
The children were enthusiastic about the new discoveries, the theoretical foundation thus became friendlier due to the practical perspective: they established where they are on the Romanian map and marked a few cultural exploration options around the manor and the villa with the indications of distance and means of transport available, thus making county cultural maps and tourist indicator posts.
Emotional maps were the means by which the children from Olari could outline their own universe with the spaces they love in the village and the city, and the great model was the challenge by means which the dwellers of Câmpulung managed to overlap the built and green layers of the city, to mark the access roads, the water route, heritage houses, landmark buildings, but especially they marked the interventions they would propose in the city according to the identified needs
The workshops gathered 15 children and a teacher in the community from Olari and almost 30 children and 3 teachers in the community from Câmpulung Muscel.

Following its mission to conserve, rescue and reactivate the cultural heritage, especially in the realm of architecture, in Romania, Pro Patrimonio Foundation focuses on practical projects for the protection and rehabilitation of heritage, , but also on the community involvement and identitary self-awareness, the memory and the value of cultural heritage.
Our projects for heritage education have focused from the beginning on the consolidation of a lasting relationship between a community and the cultural elements of value in its immediate vicinity through a more or less structured series of workshops and events dedicated to young audiences.
In the past three years, the children’s communities around the Neamțu Mansion in Olari, the Perticari-Davila Mansion in Izvoru and the Golescu Villa in Câmpulung-Muscel have benefited from constant activities that investigated the local material and immaterial heritage through games, models, practical workshops and crafts. Over 12 caravan workshops have thus been organized – Izvoru-Olari-Golescu – creating a habit within the respective communities.
The project “Education for Heritage” structures, transforms and enriches the meetings and workshops that occured so far in a heritage program that will be tested in these three communities, but is also dedicated and meant to be put into practice in any other community that wishes to encourage creative exploration of local cultural values and heritage by children.
The project aims to:
– making and implementing the program in 5 practical workshops that involve investigating the world of heritage through games and challenges about the jobs of heritage specialists and carrying out architectural projects (arranging their own play space, workshop, cinema or reading space) and gardening on a 1: 1 team scale, as well as celebrating the projects which ran over the year together with the whole community in a dedicated event;
– preparing a digital guide and a workbook for childrenaccessible online, which may be used in the future by other interested people or teachers eager to implement such a project in their own community;
– preparing of the support materials needed to support such workshops;
– creating a first set of objects, toys and gamesmechanisms for the promotion, development and growth of such post-project activities;
– Making short film for presenting and promoting the project that are accessible in the online environment.
We hope we can:
– enrich the existing educational offer through accessible educational programs addressed especially to disadvantaged or vulnerable communities where the cultural heritage is threatened;
– continue and encourage long-term initiatives of this kind both within the communities involved in the project, as well as in other communities;
– bring communities closer to the object and notion of heritage and to the foundation’s activities (both during and after the project) by using the spaces and equipment from the project for educational purposes, to care for the new gardens and even for personal initiatives;
– create a mechanism for workshop and event self-maintenance at the manors by donating to events and sales after the financing period of educational toys.

Another landscape workshop at the Golescu Villa in Câmpulung Muscel ended between May 14th and May 20th. The work team started work on the main driveway that goes up to the park and cleaned it until the first terraced area. In this context, it discovered a very well-groomed ditch which in the past collected water.
The garden spoiled and rewarded us with the blooming tulip tree and a whole symphony of flowers and shrubs in bloom. It should be noted that the roses planted last year during the similar workshop have caught roots and are growing beautifully.
As in all the previous years, the workshop also involved discovering the place, the concept of landscape observation extending the study area to other beautiful places in Lereşti, Mateiş or Dragoslavele.
The tour of the mansions – the second in this year’s series – and the Landscape Workshop are developing under the umbrella of the European Year of Cultural Heritage. More details on the reportage of Muscel TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIAQwq9XQdA

Another tour of workshops for children held at the manors looked after by Pro Patrimonio – Perticari- Davila Manor in Izvoru village, Neamțu Manor in Olari village and Golescu villa in Câmpulung – has come to an end. This second tour was coordinated by our generous Andreea Machidon supported by dedicated and special volunteers. For the very first time, we would like to thank one of the mothers, Daniela Marchidan, who has worked with patience and care with the children as well as with her 10-year old son. They have helped not only in the organization, but also in the process of creating objects. We also give our warm thanks to the extremely creative and fun Isabella Madauna, architecture student.
The theme of this tour around the manors was getting close to and understanding nature and natural elements by means of observation and reinterpreted drawing. The teams of children from the three manors managed to paint botanical elements on lunch-box type pouches suitable for gatehring plants, leaves or nuts and which will soon be on sale. They also designed their own pencil-case type minipouches for school which they personalized using the stamp technique after having made their ow FIMO stamps.
They managed to create an adorable series of colourful agendas using a simple method of book binding. These are to be their private agendas with modules they can change by themselves once they run out of clean pages. A very useful instrument for their future creative development is the notion of font that they found out about and which they exercised on their new agendas. The work was done outside in Neamțu Manor and Golescu Villa, the children fully enjoying nature, while at Izvoru the workshop took place inside the canteen rebuilt during the former workshops.
Tour of the Manors is the second from the series this year and is part of a more ample Pro Patrimonio Foundation project, Education for Heritage undergo this year under the umbrella of the European Year of Cultural Heritage #EuropeForCulture, #EYCH2018
Under the careful guidance of Andeea Machidon 12 children from Olari village gathered at Neamțu Manor on February 16 and 25 children from Câmpulung got together at Golescu Villa on February 17 and got to work creating MĂșTIȘOARE. The stories of characters who once lived in Câmpulung as well as stories from the creative-ludic world of Romanian traditional masks were retold in drawing through the crafts and culinary projects.
At the end, the cinematographic moment specific to the manor workshops was doubled by a series of creatively „assembled” snacks under the shape of characters … to be tasted.
Special thanks to teacher Liliana Chera, Andrei Săvescu (Asociația Edu Action) and the Scouts Patrole Units in Câmpulung, as well as to the dedicated volunteer, architect Roxana Jilescu.
Education for Heritage/ Educație pentru patrimoniu is one of Pro Patrimonio Foundation’s 4 projects underway this year under the umbrella of the European Year of Cultural Heritage – EYCH 2018. It consists in a series of heritage educative workshops dedicated to children taking place on heritage sites in three different locations: Neamțu Manor in Olari village, Olt county, Perticari- Davila Manor in Izvoru village, Argeș county, and Golescu villa in Câmpulung, Argeș county.
#EuropeForCulture, #EYCH2018
The series of landscape and gardening workshops at the Golescu Complex between 2012-2016 are connected to European concerns about the notion of cultural landscape (with a special cultural value resulting from the interaction between man and the natural environment) which the natural landscape is an integral part of. At the same time, the process and knowledge resulting from the workshops represent a period of professional exchanges and training on the topic of the landscape which have contributed to the creation of a Cultural Landscape Observatory in Câmpulung.
The landscape plays an important role in the cultural, ecological, environmental and social fields and represents the support of economic activity (landscape protection, management and planning can contribute to creating new work places) according to the European Landscape Convention in Florence, 2000, ratified by Romania through Law 451/2002.
Also, the workshops dedicated to gardening that occurred in the open park and at Golescu Villa are based on the philosophy that “a historic garden is an architectural and vegetal composition that, from a historical and artistic point of view, presents public interest” (Historic Gardens Charter, Florence, , 1982).
As a result, the gardening workshop in August 2012 coordinated by landscape designer Nicolas Triboi, attended by students from landscape design at Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism in Bucharest, focused on gardening, landscape reading, explorations into the agricultural area, talks about biodiversity change, etc.
Basically, in 2012 Pro Patrimonio wanted to organize a gardening workshop based on the model of volunteer work sites organized by the French association Rempart. The workshop objectives were to clean the garden and initiate the use of gardening tools (scissors, scythes, saws, wheelbarrow etc.), clean the old trees, extend the garden (by creating new paths and green chambers in the grove toward the forest), renovate the stone walls (dry masonry), build a pergola (reconstruction after an archive photography) etc.
The next workshop in 2013 supervised by landscape architects Nicolas Triboi and Clément Briandet (both graduates of the École National Supérieure du Paysage de Blois et Versailles) explored in depth the concept of landscape. From the garden of Golescu Villa to the great landscape, the program of this training workshop combined theoretical presentations with debates and practical activities on the chosen topics related to the evolution of the landscape, and with meetings with local personas who shape these landscapes in relation to Golescu Villa.
Golescu Villa and the Honest Goods Collection, object design and craft in relation to architectural heritage
The project is part of the strategy Honest Goods Foundation Pro Patrimonio to conceive a sustainable heritage brands. Series objects Honest Goods reflect a practical project pioneering object design and craftsmanship which resulted versatile items of daily use which solves the needs of general validity – lighting, utensils, fabrics and accessories for cooking and dining – and sitting under sign architectural heritage and cultural landscape. The uniqueness of the collection is given by inspiration of designers, local craftsmen technical, creative and production process open-ended type The unique character of this collection is marked by the designers’ inspiration, the local craftsmen’ techniques and the creative and production process which has an open ending akin to research by design. .
The exploit started in 2016 with sources of inspiration gathered from Golescu Villa (heritage building in Câmpulung, Argeș county), the needs of the place and its surroundings by respecting customs, crafts and materials in the Muscel area starting from the notion of cultural landscape. We aimed to reuse a historical monument not through conservation and institutionalization, but through inhabitation and integration in daily life.
The multi-disciplinary team made up of architects, designers and students documented the craftsmen in the villages, searched for structural solutions for fittings and finishing starting from basic human needs. Within this “locomotive” project, we wish to respect the following principles that reveal our vision about design (without imposing a certain style): functionality in relation to local materials, contemporary usage, multi-functionality, versatility, (objects should enable usage indoors and outdoors, in a rural or urban setting, in the domestic and public space), objects must be compact, modular, ergonomic.
As part of the “locomotive” project we aim to abide by the following principles, which attest to our vision of design (without imposing any particular style): functionality in relation to material, contemporary practices of use, multi-functionality, versatility (objects can be used inside and outside, in the country and in the town, in the domestic and in the public space), and objects that should be compact, modular, ergonomic. The result is a collection of variable geometry that can produce experimental series. The process of realisation has shown that the craftsman/designer relationship is constructed with patience and reciprocal understanding. There are challenges on both sides: the designers construct their ideas setting out from local techniques and idiom, while the craftsmen adapts and even extend their craft in collaboration with the designers.
The idea and the objectives have been first tested internationally at the London Design Festival in September 2016 and nationally at the exhibitions in Galeria Posibilă, Bucharest (2016) and Golescu Villa in Câmpulung Muscel (2016).
Models rethought and rebuilt after the experiment phase initiated in 2016 have been exhibited at the Romanian Design Week (RDW) 2017 , at the Threads of Tradition exhibition, organized by RDW and Romanian Cultural Institute Madrid (Central de Diseño de Diseño, Centro Cultural Matadero, Madrid, 15 June-16 July 2017) and at the exhibition Forumul Tradițiilor Creative (Muzeul Țăranului Român, Bucharest, 5-10 September, 2017).

The educational workshops for children called “Ghiduş de Câmpulung” (“Coltish in Câmpulung”) that had Golescu in Câmpulung Muscel as their start point, tried to get children acquainted with the notions of architecture and heritage. Everything started from questions like: What do you think are the most interesting places in your city? How about the least appealing? Do you know the buildings that are considered historical monuments? How about the meaning of “heritage”? What do you lack in your city? What do your parents and grandparents lack in the city? What would be the community project you would start tomorrow? What are your favourite public spaces? How would you describe the setting on your way home from school?
To “playfulness Campulung” in 2015, coordinated by Arch. Alexandra Mihailciuc and visual artist Delia Popa, children learned to work in stone from a master of Albesti.
To “playfulness Campulung” 2016 children explored assembly Golescu and city images and keywords: the story of my house designed by another exchange with children in the village Izvoru (jud. Arges), home-mask, discover as imagine what is behind the facade ?, Câmpulungului map proposals and interventions to promote step by natură- as Villa Golescu media through a treasure hunt ?,, surveys and maps emotional baton drawing.
The workshops were developed by Povestașii in collaboration with Artcrowd and offered free of charge to the children of Câmpulung Muscel by the Pro Patrimonio Foundation.
The textile workshops which have taken place at the Golescuu Villa (July 2015 and 2016) were created as means of raising awareness, a theoretical and practical education that allowed participants to grow familiar with the notion of cultural landscape in general (local architectural values, living styles, gastronomy, economic exchanges).
Textiles make up an important part of the cultural heritage values which must be rediscovered, preserved and passed on to future generations. Textiles are testimonies of technology, fashion, aesthetics, and social life in a certain period of time and provide information about hidden aspects of daily life in the past.
The workshop participants got acquainted with the mysteries of restoration and preservation of heritage textiles, learned about the complexity of the restoration process, and did hands-on practice on original textiles from the Golescu collection.
The workshops were coordinated by eng. Dr. Carmen Marian, specialist in conservation and restoration of archaeological textile patrimony, former researcher at the Textile Restoration Laboratory of the Cultural Heritage Conservation and Restoration Centre of the National Museum Complex “Moldova”, Iași.
