EXPOCHESS VITORIA-GASTEIZ 2016


Introduction:

elke rehder expochess vitoria-gasteiz 2016

EXPOCHESS VITORIA-GASTEIZ 2016 is a cultural festival pursuing to join various branches of arts with Chess and Women to reach a transversal approach to the chess world.

It will open with the 2ndInternational Painting Contest about Chess, which will be followed by various painting, photography and philately exhibitions. It will carry on with a photographic exhibition within a new section called “Queen’s move on the image-board”; Álava and Morelos in the game, intended to show cultural and touristic spots of both cities Vitoria-Gasteiz and Cuernavaca (Mexico), joining them with the topics Chess and Woman. As a key outcome of our project, we will inaugurate the I International Congress about “Women and Chess”, our main novelty –a social, cultural, psychological and pedagogical event, which faces the great challenge of attracting women to the chess world.



Goals:

Bringing Chess closer and fostering equality

The main goal of this 2nd edition of EXPOCHESS VITORIA-GASTEIZ is to keep on building bridges to bring Chess closer to the general public and women in particular, contributing to the uprising of women’s participation in all spheres of Chess.

We will achieve it through a range of attractive activities, such as photography or painting related to Chess, which will reveal it as a familiar activity. We will also draw mass media and public and private authorities’ attention, whose backing is vital for our project.

Furthermore, we have organized a congress, in which an expert group will analyse and diagnose the low participation rate and lack of interest of women in Chess and whose results will be useful for further research towards the establishment of educational rules and procedures aimed at achieving effective equality in Chess.

Besides, by hosting such a cultural and touristic event widely covered by media, we will link the international profile of Vitoria-Gasteiz with art and Culture around Chess and will attract a great number of visitors.

The venue for our festival will be once again the hotel Gran Hotel Lakua in Vitoria-Gasteiz, internationally known for its commitment to culture and Chess.

• This is a non-lucrative festival, since one of its goals is to guarantee the funding of subsequent projects.
