The symposium included an International Workshop of the Mythic Journey. The sixty-five participating students were divided in four groups, each group under the guidance of a mentor, viz. Roy Cerpac, Manel Esparbé I Gasca, Colette van Landuyt and Frans Oosterhof. The students were chosen by the respective faculties of the Institutes for the Arts in Athens, Reykjavik, Barcelona, Helsinki, Sarajevo, Arnhem, Cluj/Napoca, Gent, Krakow, Milan, Essen, Budapest, Manchester, Viterbo, Dublin, Prague, Copenhague, and St. Etienne.
Together they represented the different traditions and cultures of Europe and various artistic disciplines. Cherifa Hendriks wrote in a letter to Christian, september 3, 1998: “After La Fratta I felt a big urge to meet more people. More people with the same interests but from different countries with different beliefs and backgrounds. What happened there was really remarkable. People who had never met each other before tried to communicate in a creative way and tried to make the best connection to those ‘strangers’ as they could. Not only personally, but most of all professionally.” Cf. bibliography: Mythological Europe Revisited, VUBUniversityPress, Brussels 2000.
