SESAM 2018 Belarus Sponsor pack

May 1-10 2018 Belarus Čareja — Bielaja Carkva

ABOUT US Belarusian Architecture Students' Association together with Belarusian Union of Architects, Belarusian Union of Designers and local community of villages Čareja and Bielaja Carkva (White Church) continue to develop cultural and educational projects whose aim is students’ and specialists’ creative and professional development.

International architecture school SESAM Ex Nihilo is an unprecedented event in architectural, design and educational spheres in Belarus. Not only Belarusian and foreign students together with professionals will exchange experience and skills, but will realize mutually created ideas, while integrating Belarus into a global market of architectural design. We offer your company cooperation and support.

SESAM (Small European Students Architecture Meeting) origins EASA — European Architecture Students Association — is an international network which connects hundreds of architectural schools and thousands of students that specialize in architecture, urbanistics, design and arts.

EASA is organized by initiative youth that doesn’t just sit around and is a vehicle of progress in architecture and architectural education.

In 2016 we (Minsk architects) successfully organized and conducted spring architecture school SESAM Terra Incognita in which 90 students and professionals from Belarus, Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Germany, Poland, France, Algeria, Ireland, Armenia, Finland and Switzerland participated. For 7 days, under the guidance of Belarusian and foreign tutors, 8 groups were exploring Minsk, its history and culture on different levels so that they could see the capital from perspective of foreigners and, as the result, present a couple of photo and model exhibitions, as well as the architectural form — camera obscura.

The news about the school was quickly spread on the whole EASA network. We decided not to stop and organize a new, more large-scale and colorful architectural school SESAM Ex Nihilo.

LOCATION Čareja- Bielaja Carkva (White Church) Čareja is known in history since 1464 when a monastery was built there. In the end of 15th century the village became one of the most important Sapega’s family estates and in 1599 The Holy Trinity Church was built in a nearby village Bielaja Carkva which has been preserved to these days.

In 2017 the festival SPRAVA was held in Bielaja Carkva and in 2018 a cultural centre and an art residence will be built in Čareja.

The idea 76.3% of population of Belarus lives in towns and cities.

The number of people in villages keeps getting smaller and smaller. Schools, kindergartens, cultural centers and libraries in villages are closing every year.

In the middle of nowhere, one hundred architects will search for the ways to bring life back in the villages, and villages — back to the life.

To make it together from nothing.

Ex nihilo.
