Job shadowing in Petöfi museum

Jobshadowing in Budapest, 6-11 August 2012 Liivi Rosenvald, Katrin Roositalu and Margit Kilter - three ladies from three small literary museums in South Estonia - were welcomed in Budapest on August 6 by the heat of 40 degrees, which probably marks the record of the air temperature in the country. For us it seemed a few degrees even higher due to the excitement about our very first trip to Hungary. So we took it as a good sign foreshadowing „hot“ (in every positive meaning of the word) days of grasping, saving and recording the aura, impressions, emotions, sights and all kind of information. We can assure now that we were not wrong! Which museums did we visit? - Petöfi Literary Museum - Endre Ady Memorial Museum - Hungarian National Gallery - Museum of Applied Arts - The exhibitions and activities of all the museums which took part in the Museum Quarters at Sziget Festival. What did we learn about the Petöfi Literary Museum (PLM)?

Job shadowing at the A. H. Tammsaare and the Eduard Vilde Literary Museums and at the HeadRead Literature Festival in Tallinn, 31 May-3 June 2012

Report by Pierre Marson

From May 31st to June 2nd, Jeff Schmitz and myself, both staff members of the Centre national de littérature in Luxembourg, were in the Estonian capital for a job shadowing visit at the A. H. Tammsaare Literary Museum, the Eduard Vilde Literary Museum and at the HeadRead Literature Festival. The first and the last day of the mobility were mostly spent on the trip, as there is no direct flight between Luxembourg and Tallinn, a fact which we regret very much after our wonderful experience in that friendly city.

Communication meeting in Luxembourg

Dear all,

wonderful days in Luxembourg are over and I really really want to thank you Pierre, Jeff and Claude for making our days so enjoyable!

Here is short overview about the results of our meeting.

First of all: Antonis will add a sub-blog to this page which will be accessable only for the project members. This shall be the place we will put our presentation, so all the members of our group would have a possiblity to familiarise with presentations. So, as soon as this sub-blog is created we'll share the codes and you'll have all the information shared in Luxembourg concerning the communication!

Visit of Elle-Mari Talivee and Kadri Tüür from Estonia to the Centre national de littérature in Mersch, Luxembourg, 17.-21.11.2011

Report by Kadri Tüür

Not much to say about Thursday, the 17th. Travelling took some time (read: the whole day); Marc was so kind to come and pick us up at the airport and give us a lift to Mersch where one of the two studios of CNL was prepared for us (equipped with two beds instead of the regular one, and with ample information material with greetings from Pierre). The studio itself was an admirably compact space with a guest room / writing table / kitchen and bathroom downstairs and a half-open balcony type bedroom with a bridge to the nearest window upstairs. We immediately fell asleep and felt like young & careless students again back in the golden bygone times when we shared a dorm room in Tartu. This was a pleasant feeling.

First Project meeting in Petöfi Museum, Budapest

First of all I would like to thank all the kind workers of the Petöfi museum for finding the time for us (we all know how busy are the days of the people in the literary museums)! I really enjoyd your hospitality and ofcourse also the beautiful Budapest! The Petöfi Museum was also an inspiring place! Estonians did learn a lot and we will have a meeting on Thursday, Nov 10, to present all the topics and ideas shared in this first meeting to all of our collegues in the literary museums in Estonia.
I think our first meeting was very fruitful. We all had agreed in topics about the project before we propound the project application, but there was many aspects we needed to talk through.
So, here is the summary of our meeting and the most important conclusions.
