European Friendship & Telecommunications is an audiovisual and sms messages sender project that takes a look at friendship in our culture. One of the specific features of contemporary friendship is the use of technological supports both as the everyday means of communication between friends and in the spread of symbolic-media models of emotional relationships. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ European Friendship in progress Working on the difficult definition of the project, we realized the necessity of adding up complementary reflections to ours, elaborated by other people out of their personal experiences. Starting from a script of possible situations in the practice of friendship, we worked in three spheres: 1. Individual closed door conversations about friendship during five hours under the project Casas y Calles on january 22th, 2004. 2. Working it as a transversal subject with groups of our pupils of secundary school. 3. Informal talks with friends. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ audiovisual work A little boy has a telephone conversation with a woman friend in which they talk about diverse definitions of friendship, the diary practice of communication between friends and the spreading of symbolic-media models of emotional relationships. The boy travels towards her. The woman lives in a castle.
