2. ABOUT PRO ART & CO
Pro Art is a non-profit organisation involved in multidisciplinary education, innovation and the development of
informal, non-formal and intercultural learning (e.g. about joint European heritage through the engagement of
institutions, museums, libraries, theatres, national parks etc.). The activities incorporate structured and informal
training, both for training staff and learners, and include some formal school subjects, especially for youths, adults
and migrants: basic knowledge of science, history and art, digital communication and social media, environmental
subjects and the multicultural quality of communication and collaboration with partners and associates across
Europe and the world. Pro Art tutors and training staff are highly educated and professional in many subjects that
are related to our activities. Pro Art has been involved in work with European partners (since 2004) first in LifLong
Learning programme and now Erasmus + projects on the advancement and exchange of experiences, exploration of
new methodology, pedagogy and practical use of new technologies in teaching in informal and non-formal learning.
Some of our activities involve increase of competence and proactive engagement in active citizenship, gender
equality and social inclusion through different approaches and collaboration with partners from other European
countries.
Pro Art organises events in Parliament every June, related to current topics and discussions with members of
Parliament, professionals, students, school children and teachers and general public. We also participate annually in
Parliament Week organising events which include presentations of social issues and current events and topics,
discussed between the panel of professionals and MPs and the general public in audience. We received Certificates
of Achievements from Parliament for engagement, promotion of the UK history, work of members of Parliament and
inclusion of public and young people in these events. In December 2017, Pro Art celebrated a 25th Anniversary and
continuous work with people from all genders, races, faiths and ethnic or geographical origins, as well as from all
social, economic and educational background. We believe that our world, the planet Earth, belongs to all of us
equally and we have to protect it and share it unselfishly with all other living beings on Earth.

4. Cooking Lessons and Fun.
Pro Art organised cooking lessons during the restricted travels and visits to public places in winter 2020 until
springtime 2021 - and invited Pro Art Members to participate and bring their children and to introduce the healthiest of
the international dishes to be explored and cooked. It was popular and more people joined in this project and cooked
healthy dishes.
INTRODUCTION
Healthy food includes vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, spices and herbs. In the past meat was less consumed than vegetables and
grains because it was more expensive. Today, most food is bought in shops and markets with very little grown by individual
households. People in the cities are encouraged to get allotments and to cultivate plants, herbs, vegetables or fruits, or on their
balconies, windowsills or communal places. Those interested only have to search and find out which plants will be successfully grown
in this available environment.
Why we should do that now?
If we have children and family, we can make growing food an educational and fun activity. It is rewarding to grow our own organic
products, cared for with love and pride. This would be an opportunity to engage the whole family in looking after plants from seeds,
buds and grown plants.
• This is also an opportunity to learn new, lifelong skills which may even save their lives in future.
• We can also start exploring our nearest markets. This is an opportunity for the whole family to learn about healthy food and how to
read labels and to choose healthy options.
• Naturally we cannot grow everything in our homes or allotment spaces, some food is determined by geographical places and
elements such as climate, water or rain, temperature and other environmental conditions. When children are involved in this
activity, it will be an interactive way of learning about plants and food, the environment and the importance of protecting it.
• Our native presenters will demonstrate how to cook world food and delicacies. This will be authentic, home based, fun and can
involve the whole family in creating their own serving decorations. The focus will be on new cooking methods and ingredients that
people across the world use to spice their food.

5. Who said men cannot cook?
With some of our participants we also
organized some multicultural dinners.

from negative attacks. It was presented as a joint effort of
UK and 4 European partners led by Italian organisation

explanations, community talks and visual presentations
of positive and negative sides of it, also especially
interesting visual learning about national cultural heritage.

9. Brompton Cemetery in London
Meetings with members of public from different ethnic
and cultural background around the world, and young
people and public about different cultural rites and
customs when people pass away and how they are
remembered by family and friends before they have
been buried or cremated or donated their organs to
medicine.
This was our annual event which was gathering people
of different faith and culture to the Brompton cemetery
in Central London where we organise talks with help of
Friends of Brompton Cemetery, about diverse cultural
heritage and rites when people pass away. This is for the
first time that some people learned about what other
cultures do and mourn people and how British people
do from different parts of the country. The talks
included visits to some special monuments where
historic personalities were buried, such as Emmeline
Pankhurst the leading woman suffragette and her
daughter, among other significant people. It was also
learning about how people cope and say good buy to
loved one, learn history and cultural heritage of
different religious groups, also about local personalities
who changed Britain’s culture and public life.

10. Carnaby Street – iconic London in 1960s-1980s
Carnaby Street, the famous gathering in 1960-80s and
centre of the new cultural movement in music, fashion,
film, everything which changed the world forever. This
is today a historic icon in London as much as Parliament
or Westminster Abbey or Oxford Street shopping. This is
one of historic places of our time which became the
world’s modern cultural iconic substitute for Cultural
and Social Freedom. Pro Art is organising groups of
visitors and local members and learners to go to
Carnaby Street to feel the vibe and this is our annual
‘pilgrimage’ to rock and pop art era.
