Project Ambassadors of European culture
Activities of project „Ambassadors of European culture” have finished successfully
The Society „Erfolg” with the support of „Erasmus +” program organized the international youth exchange project „Ambassadors of European culture”. From 13th till 24th October, 24 participants from Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria and Latvia gathered in Daugavpils and during the time of 10 days fit into role of ambassadors of culture, sharing and obtaining new knowledge about other cultures. Even if all project participant countries are united in European Union, there still can be seen difference and uniqueness of cultures and traditions. It could be seen during the project activities, while sharing language peculiarities, observing national dances and trying treats, which participants brought from their countries.
From the beginning with the help of brainstorming activities participants got acquainted with the definition of culture as such, getting to know seen and unseen sides of culture, so that the next day they could begin to learn more about every participating country separately. First country, about which youth learned more, was Romania. Participants learned about national dances and outdoor games, which was very successful despite of cold weather. After dances and games participants tried treats which were brought by Romanians.
Next day was marked in colours of Czech Republic. Participants played question game with gifts after watching funny and interesting videos about Czech Republic. After games participants learned Czech national dances and songs, what was followed by traditional Czech treats.
During the next, already 5th day participants had several outdoor activities. At the beginning participants went to fashion exhibition „Chest of memory”, where participants could try on any from offered historical costumes and take photos. It was followed by tram excursion through Daugavpils and excursion to tram depot. At the end of the day participants played a game about stereotypes „Tram to Moscow”.
Participants from Bulgaria prepared interesting and funny presentation about their country and finished it with attractive quiz. As usual it was followed by the table of Bulgarian treats.
Within the project was also prepared presentation of Latvian culture. After interesting presentation and attractive videos, to participants was shown a technique of making traditional Latvian decorations from straw. Every participant could use the possibility to make a gift for themselves. Latvian dances were presented and participants were treated with homemade layered rye-bread dessert and other treats at the end of the day.
At the end of the project activities participants went to orphanage „Priedīte”, where they shared with their national dances and games, taught to children different words in different languages and drew together. As it was the last day which participants spent together, they spent a lot of time talking to each other, shared future plans and discussed possibilities of seeing each other in the nearest future.
Besides the presentations of cultures of different countries during the project time were visited such places and institutions as Daugavpils Regional and Art Museum, Clay art centre, Daugavpils Fortress and Mark Rothko Art centre, Latvian house etc.
During the last evening of activities, upcoming moment of leaving was sweetened by wonderful dinner in restaurant „Čili pica” and a thought of soon reunion.

Облишиш все.
Ввійдеш, мов пілігрим,
Освітленим
в Любов,
Що світ уповні.
Немає знань.
Немає кіл іззовні,
Бо ви --
Два гейзери,
Відкриті для шукань.
Світи - для вас,
розтулених до шалу
І уст врозліт.
І врозсип раз у раз
В водоворотах зір, очей під шквали
Палких мовчань,
Гарячих слів і фраз.
Є тільки ви,
Два полонених чи
Дві крапельки єдиного спасіння.
Час залиши.
Тепер повз вік він вільний.
Віль осідає в глиб очей.
Навік.

The Council of Ministers Building and the District Courthouse Building.wmv
The Council of Ministers Building
Come join TheCeļotājs visit to the outside area of The Council of Ministers Building located at Brīvības bulvāris 36 and the District Courthouse Rīga Regional Court located at Brīvības bulvāris 34 which share a common area between them.
Built in 1936 by Frīdrihs Skujiņš 1890-1957, during the Soviet occupation, the Council of Ministers building was the office of the Baltic Military District of the USSR. It is on the site of the cemetery of the church of Saint Gertrude which stood on the site of the Riga Cinema in Elizabetes iela. Guntis Ulmanis, the first president of Latvia after renewed independence, has an apartment in the building.
Born in Riga in 1939, Guntis Ulmanis, grandson of Karlis Ulmanis, studied Economics at the Latvian State University after which he worked on the board of the Bank of Latvia. He was a member of the Communist Party from 1965 to 1989 and a member of Riga City Council. In 1993, Ulmanis was appointed President and served two terms.
That Guntis Ulmanis had a notoriously shaky grasp of English was seen when he addressed a prestigious lawyers' conference in the United States beginning his remarks with: I'm pleased to be in the company of such distinguished liars. He of course meant lawyers!
The District Courthouse Rīga Regional Court
Come join TheCeļotājs visit to the outside area of the District Courthouse Rīga Regional Court located at Brīvības bulvāris 34
The District Courthouse was built in 1888 to the designs of Jānis Fridrihs Baumanis. It was designed so that from the air the building looks like the Tsar's crown. On the building are two plaques; one to Baumanis who was granted a rent-free apartment on the top floor and the other to Gunārs Astra
Jānis Fridrihs Baumanis 1834-1891, who became the first professionally qualified Latvian architect, was the son of a river pilot. He began his working life at the age of 11 learning his father's trade, however eight years later he became a carpenter and within three years, he was managing 40 workers.
Ever wanting to improve himself he then worked for four years with the architect Heinrich Scheel. In 1859, he was noticed by the St Petersburg architect Ludwig Bohnstedt, who encouraged him to enroll in the Berlin Royal Building Academy and later in the Saint Petersburg Academy of Art.
Gunārs Astra, 1931-1988, whose only crime was the defense of human rights, was arrested by the Soviets in 1961 and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. On his released in 1976 he returned to Riga, but seven years later was rearrested and imprisoned again, only to be released a few weeks before his death. Astra was a light in the darkness, whose spirit proves that there is no power on earth that can strangle the desire for freedom and the aspiration of people to live in a democratic country based on the rule of law.
The plaque on side of the District Court, which includes a quote from his second trial, reads:
In this building on 15 December 1983 the fighter for the freedom of Latvia Gunārs Astra was sentenced.
I believe that this time will disappear like a nightmare. This gives me the strength to stand and breathe here.
He went on to say not included on the plaque Our people have suffered beyond belief and therefore have the experience and we will survive this dark stage as well.
While still a student, together with Robert Pflug he won the contract for what is now the Saeima Parliament building. Outside his profession, he was involved in the 1861 Berlin festival of gymnastics and was one of the founders of the Saint Petersburg Association of Architects. In 1868, he helped found the Riga Latvian Society of which he was chairman (1872-65).
He also constructed three temporary timber concert halls in Riga for the song festivals of 1873, 1880 and 1888. In total Baumanis built over 150 buildings in Riga, He also built 17 Russian Orthodox churches in Livland province.
