The Homelands project is also about training. At the start of the Homelands process with the new artists, a 1-week artistic residency is organized during which an (inter) national team of IYMF cultural ambassadors and experts work with the tandems, teaching them complementary artistic activities, pedagogical and social skills needed to engage in the co-creative process.
2 additional training sessions/master classes will be integrated in the process in order to address the needs and challenges that will rise during the project and to prepare the final result of each project.
“The importance of co-creation in challenging times”
In order to keep our community alive and nurtured, to help co-creators around the globe to continue their creative work in this online new reality and to find new and hybrid ways of interacting with our audiences without losing the basics of co-creation, The Homelands trainers realised 5 online trainings.

Ilse Wijnen
For some time now, Ilse Wijnen has been working mainly on a project basis in the art sector, instead of presenting herself individually as an artist. Grasped by the transformative power of images and sounds, the working process merges form and content and blur the boundaries between different disciplines.
Due to the wide interest, the studies that have been conducted are very diverse: art history, archaeology and anthropology; drawing, sculpting, painting, lithography, restoration painting and film art; recitation and theatre of movement; voice (Sound-oriented singing Lichtenstein, Roy Hart…) and vocals; practical philosophy (including Zeno and Initia)…
The richness of art and ancient cultures, music, myths are expressed in stories, workshops with children and adults, elaborating artistic concepts, studio guidance, decor, acting, directing, writing dramaturgy and screenwriting, writing poems and stories, art visual works, visual anthropology realizations, landscape installations ...
She engages herself in educational, social and purely artistic projects and research labo theoretical matters.
She does not regard her work as the most individual expression of a feeling, but as a process based on an inner necessity.
Since 1984 she creates as an artist with insider –and outsider artists in the KNEPH atelier in an anonymous way, such as Gesamtkunst in the Middle Ages.
