Are there any "recipes" for artists in times of crisis

Students from the Panayot Pipkov National School of Arts (NUI) in Pleven reflected on this question during the World Cafe at the school - an activity on project "Managing the COVID crisis with care, reason, values, unity, solidarity" (Manage the Covid crisis with Care, reason, Values, unity, solidarity). The other topics for analysis were - What needs to be changed and improved in the future in digital learning at school and in online learning?; How can the health culture of the population and specifically the vaccination rate be increased? and How to reduce future vulnerability, which for some groups was greater in the pandemic.
"Panayot Pipkov" NUI is now a traditional partner of the Contemporary Pleven Media Foundation, which is the coordinator of the project.
The participants in the cafeteria - students of VIII, IX and X classes showed knowledge combined with artistry and rich imagination.

The format of the event suggests that the discussion of the issues is carried out through creative problem solving, encouraging collaboration and the sharing of new ideas and opinions by all participants. The students are divided into groups and sit at their assigned tables. Each group is given a question or problem to which they must propose a solution or give ideas for a solution. At regular intervals, the students move to the other tables, with one host remaining at each table, who summarizes the information from the previous conversation and writes down the new ideas of the new group. The goal is for all groups of students to pass through all the tables of the World Cafe.
At the end, the table hosts presented a summary. Most topics were attractively described in drawing form.
The method was new for the students at Panayot Pipkov National University of Applied Sciences, but they all coped brilliantly with the task.
Teachers Magdalena Nikolova and Snezha Danova are to blame for their preparation.
