Name of the place / building: Kindergarten/ Folklore museum’s courtyard of Syvros
Short description of the building/place:
In the summer of 2021, the artists volunteers from Syvros leaded by the president of the village and the volunteers of Solidarity Τracks, with the support of the City Hall of Lefkada, painted, decorated and animated the cultural and educational complex of the village, in the frame of RESCUE project under Erasmus plus programme (Adult education). They designed and created a mural at the primary school of Syvros, with the aim to provide the children beautiful learning environment, as well as artistic and aesthetic revitalization of the building, and general cultural development of the small community of the village. The activity was based on the initiative of the local residents. Apart from the artistic design of the central exterior wall of the school, volunteers also painted an interactive game with ecological connotations in the school’s courtyard.
In the low wall in front of the terrace of the museum, a traditional motif was designed. as inspiration of the old textiles decorated with this kind geometrical shape in the style of the old carpets that can be seen in the museum.
Moreover, opposite the building, in the other part of the courtyard, a little garden for the children was created. Wooden flowerbeds (jardinieres) were made by the volunteers and put there. The main reason for this was to have children participate more in actions regarding nature and the environment. In each flowerbed, there were different plants, and wooden sticks with the plants’ names were added. On this side of the courtyard, as there was an existing metallic frame covered in plants, more frames were added in order to facilitate exhibition works made by the children or artists presenting their work. All kindergarten-related fences were painted accordingly.
