Based on the exchange of experiences, we intend to detect those key actions in the field of European education which are successful educational activities, disseminate them and apply them in other countries, giving reply to: 1. the reduction of absenteeism 2. address situations of disadvantage with minors and their families 3. Enhance the skills of educational professionals. We will work as a network, and create open multimedia educational resources, which can be afterwards references of key actions. It involves 15 partners, which defines the heterogeneity and complementarity of the project. We assume the complexity of the number of partners, and higly value the previous experience of joint work of some of its members in other projects and the attitude and commitment shown by all 15 partners. The number of partners, given the commitment expressed in previous contacts and meetings and the number of countries involved, is an asset of the project. It takes place in Velilla de San Antonio, Turin, Evora, Brussels, Berlin and Budapest, with the aprticipation of 7 schools with a high percentage of students at risk of social exclusion. The project will involve more than 200 teachers and over 1,000 pupils. 15 artists, more than 50 public educational technicians, volunteers and university students in practices will actively collaborate. The key will be a coordinated work between teachers, children, their families (600 people) and the socio-educational community in general. We expect at least 4,300 direct and indirect beneficiaries. Open educational resources will be iellaborated to implement the project in other centres/entities, using a WIKI space a its dissemination tool. The agglutinating activity of the project will be a video-book of short stories and a short film of the representations of all created stories (performances of dance, theatre, exhibitions...), creating a space for the exchange based on the research on our personal and cultural realities (traditions, tales, multiculturalism and other capabilities...). Each municipality will hold 1 transnational meeting (6 meetings in total) attended by all members,. The meeting will enable all partners to get in contact with differentiated and specific practices of each partner/collaborator. These meetings will include coordination meetings - exchanges of good practices, with the presence of partners and representatives of the educational communities of the organizing municipality. The project includes training action with families, teachers and educational professionals of partners and collaborators. Trained people will revert their learning to their communities. The project includes a process, end and starting evaluation, and we will submit a final external evaluation report. A differentiating element is that the work is carried out during school hours, allowing us to work with the entire educational community as an element of standardisation. It will be a practical and participatory program aimed to facilitate social cohesion, reduction of absenteeism and improvement of learning motivation. External agents (artists) are incorporated to show other perspectives and points of view. TThe objectives coincide largely with the expected results: 01 Apply and extrapolate all educational keys of success identified and implemented during the life the project. 02 Create a permanent network with the aim to improve the competences of teachers, using methodologies based on art that develop emotional intelligence. 03. Training of more than 200 teachers. They participate, exchange experiences and acquire new tools, applying new educational keys of success in their own centers, in order to improve skills, social cohesion, and overcome children learning and behavior difficulties. 04 Training of families of students. They need to be co-trainers of their children in different areas: establishment of guidelines and limits, address cultural and generational diversity... 04. Results reach more than 1,000 students: the project is aimed to improve their competences, their learning motivation and social cohesion. 05 Preparation of materials that allow the implementation of the results. 06 Reduction of absenteeism, learning problems and levels of demotivation. 07 Creation of a stable international team among participants who will promote exchange, and use the WIKI space for resuls and best practices dissemination. 08. Training of 15 artists in the field of education, as well as volunteers and interns 09 Continous work with the local communities, from a perspective of gender, interculturalism, equity and citizenship. 10. The project will be spread by/between educational administrations of each municipality. 11. As verified in the evaluation report, participants will be highly satisfied with the training and exchange activities experienced.
ART FOR COEXISTENCE has been a 30-month project, made up of 15 partners from 6 countries (MOVETIA additionally financed the participation of 6 Swiss entities). We have detected keys and successful actions in the European educational field, we have disseminated them and apply them in other settings, responding to the reduction of school absenteeism, addressing disadvantageous situations with minors and their families, improving the skills of educational professionals. Art is an important resource in working with school children in marginal areas and at risk of exclusion. We have included an integrated gender approach. Beneficiaries: 2,113 minors, adolescents and youngsters, 2,166 professionals and families trained in national training spaces and international seminars 507 Other beneficiaries 142 Volunteers 91 Artists Activities: 1. 6 meetings in Velilla San Antonio, Turin, Évora, Berlin, Budapest and Brussels that included coordination and monitoring meetings (economic, logistical, pedagogical, organizational evaluation, informatics and methodological), and exchanges of good practices in schools ( 8 centers). A trip to Bern financed by MOVETIA and the participants themselves (2 Swiss centers). 2. 1,392 laboratories with minors, families and teachers in which a video-book of short stories and short stories was worked. 3. 18 artistic shows to show the experiences analyzed 4. A web page for the dissemination and exchange of good practices 5. Preparation of educational dissemination materials 6. Elaboration of graphic material that includes good practices Methodology A participatory methodology (MUS-E) was implemented, from art and creativity, incorporating into the formal education work specific tools from the world of art and non-formal education pedagogy - conducting laboratories and practical workshops -, with a focus integrated gender. Objectives Created a NETWORK to strengthen the European identity from active citizenship, through heritage Trained teachers and technicians from different administrations on heritage and identity, through laboratories of theoretical and practical training. Prepared and disseminated materials that include the good practices of the training at the content level. Involved families, mainly of immigrant origin. Created a website for the dissemination and exchange of good practices Carried out an external evaluation of the meetings to see the achievement of the established goals. Involved volunteers as energizing agents. Results and impact Agreements have been signed between NGOs, universities, centers and educational administrations to strengthen the project in 6 countries. 6 international meetings were held. 2,166 professionals were trained with an innovative methodology and multiplier effect An international team of 91 trainers was created and continue after the project. Educational keys to success have been released +18 dissemination events have been registered and disseminated to bring the project closer to new European municipalities. 2,113 minors participated and families were involved. Workshops were held with minors, families and their teachers. There is a web page for the program, which allows its future dissemination and exchange. The external evaluation of the international meetings was carried out. 142 volunteers participated. The essence of the common past and the challenges of the present were challenged with 5,019 people, with a Europe made up of a significant number of minors from families of non-European origin. This training model will be extended to minors, teachers and families from more than 100 schools during the 2 school years following the end of the project in the 6 participating countries (20-21-22). During the life of the project a "pilot project" took place in 8+2 schools. The project improved and supported the relationships of parents associations and teachers and approached families (many of them with previous no contact) to schools. +50 European entities actively participated in the project.
