SIJO: Poetry from yesterday and today for intercultural dialogue
SIJO, a Korean poetic form dating back to the 7th century, embodies a spiritual and philosophical depth that transcends time. Composed of three 17-syllable verses, it explores themes as universal as nature, love, and philosophy. This project, through its educational dimension, will allow young Romanians to discover this literary tradition while enriching their cultural and philosophical perspectives.
According to Andrei Tarkovsky, art is a "metalanguage" that transcends human barriers. Through SIJO poetry creation workshops and a dedicated festival, the program aims to reconnect younger generations with the essence of poetry as a mirror of the human condition and a bridge between cultures.
