N.Skioni / Halkidiki - GREECE


Send E-mail  Web Site
Intern.Gogakou Chıldren Folk Camp


In a small village of Kassandra, we have created "Once upon a time", with much artistic feeling and love for children and man, tradition, nature and life... "Once upon a time... Means holidays and relaxation! Entertainment and action! Daring and adventure! A live fairytale-like reality...

In a ravine where holly, myrtles, arbutuses rove their braches. At a place where nightingales compose their musical symphonies In a valley whose boundaries are set by pine clad mountainsides.
Near the unique natural spring of Kassandra "Patatlaka", where gurgling waters spring from the heart of the mountain...
...at a place with a climate that can be compared to no other. At New Skioni, located at the peninsula of Kassandra in the prefecture of Halkidiki, only 1 km from the northeastern part of the picturesque village. All tradition gathered in this valley which seems as if untouched by time; however you will discover that time here is never enough if you want to see everything.

With the initiative of Dimitra Papachristodoulou - Gogakou, educator by profession, who wanted to give sound principles to her children - pupils and dreamt of a live folklore workshop, we created "Once upon a time..." with much artistic feeling and love for children and man, tradition nature and life.
Children are approximately the same age, forming small groups with an older person us their team leader, stay in small modern houses.
Experienced educators and trainers have prepared special programs concerning entertainment, creative and athletic activities.
Special care to the health of children, offered 24 hours a day by a doctor or a nurse.
Because technology has made man arrogant and egocentric Because we think that environmental education does not work when man face environment authoritatively. Because the "Nature-Animals-Man" triptych must retain a balance
Because man can never realize the fact that man and environment are interdependent by means of words but by experience and actions. This is the reason why we created "Once upon a time"
At its live folklore workshops you will see nature, man, animals in an interdependent harmonic and balanced relationship.
At "Once upon a time" you will see no dead exhibition areas.
You will experience live tradition, a fairytale-like reality, a game of tradition and life, of nature, man, animals, in as ideal relationship.

More than ever, Greeks need our friendship, our presence, our love.

Come with us, and do share with us this very unique experience !

Village-people, musicians, dancers, teachers, inn-keepers, friends, neighbours : all our Naxian friends actively participate !
They just wait for you, for us.

Much more than a dance-seminar : a true festival, with 12 days packed with live music, joy, celebration and life !

If Greeks are facing an unprecedented crisis, they still have an incredible wealth, that none will take, borrow nor steal : their outstanding music, their exceptionnal dances, their extraordinary folk culture, their unique tradition.

Bulgarian Folk Music & Dance Seminar

Dear Friends of Balkan Music and Dance,

Summer is always full of festivals and other events worth attending, but our Bulgarian Folk Music & Dance Seminar, which takes place in the beautiful ancient city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, is unique because of the way tradition comes to you. Our rich, one-of-a-kind program couples the teaching expertise of instructors from the Academy of Music, Dance and Fine Arts in Plovdiv with the music and dance wisdom of tradition bearers from around the country.

• Dance classes are taught by “village masters" from various ethnographic regions in Bulgaria. Different groups of dancers and musicians are featured throughout the week, teaching dances and songs from their own villages.

• Instrument classes are taught by some of the finest teachers in the country. Lessons on traditional Bulgarian instruments (gudulka, kaval, tambura, tupan and gaida) are offered to both beginners and experienced students, while modern instrument classes (accordion, violin and clarinet) are oriented toward players who already have some experience.

• Singing classes are very inclusive and welcome students at all levels. Songs and singing styles from various regions are presented, focusing both on voice production and ornamentation.

All classes are translated from Bulgarian into English. A Bulgarian language class, as well as some optional evening social activities offer you an opportunity to widen your experience of Bulgaria.

The Bulgarian Folk Music & Dance Seminar, now in its 8th year, is especially designed for non-Bulgarians (or Bulgarians interested in connecting with their "roots" music and dance) who want a more in-depth opportunity to learn Bulgarian traditional instruments, singing styles, and dance than is normally possible for groups or individuals traveling to Bulgaria. Please refer to our website for more information. We are continuing our special 15% discount for members of the East European Folklife Center (www.eefc.org).

Participants from past years have raved about their wonderful experiences at the Seminar. You can get a glimpse of this from the many photographs, student comments, and information from previous Seminars that is available on our website (www.folkseminarplovdiv.net). You can also take a look at the Seminar's new Facebook page, Bulgarian Folk Music & Dance Seminar, Plovdiv (or just search Plovdiv Folk Seminar).

Registration may be completed online. Payment for the Seminar can only be made by bank transfer or on-site payment; details are on the website.

Feel free to contact us with any questions - we speak English, Bulgarian, Greek, German and Russian! Please mark these dates and consider becoming a part of our big family!
