The Piano (2018) / what makes STN:ORT special
Stn:ort 2018 is over and it was a great joy!
From the 6th to the 11th of August , together with over 40 volunteers and over 1000 visitors, we brought the Palace in Sztynort and its park to life. Our harvest are memories, new ideas, knowledge, networks, and…. some photos: go to the gallery!
Because we want to make the process through which the festival took shape accessible to a broader public, we have decided to publish the festival report as an open document on this website. Download our festival report “Learning from STN:ORT 2018: Experiences, Insights, Goals” here.
This year’s theme was “Walks in Steinort”. Read more about the theme. Our week programme held activities for adults and children: There were guided tours through the manor and park, creative workshops, exhibitions, as well as evening events – concerts, animation screenings, talks, and a book reading.
