Project summary

This Erasmus project is linked to the Europe 2020 Strategy, the ET2020 Strategy and the Bruges Communiqué. Its main objective is to form an active, responsible and socially integrated citizenship which aims to overcome all forms of discrimination through art and technology, both in their countries and in Europe. The various artistic expressions and technology are used as a link of union and universal symbol to express the longing for coexistence and peace of humanity through all times as well as a motor of development in creating and connecting the advances of science with the needs of society in daily life, in a process of improving living conditions at personal, social and political levels. This project focuses on the development of arts and humanities in education, in a context mediated by technology and the possibilities that the Internet and digital programs offer, to achieve a more inclusive education in the current multicultural 21st century societies. The fundamental objectives of this project revolve around the development of basic and transversal competences in students, through different artistic expressions such as theater, music, painting, photography, design, cinema ..which are value as especially suitable areas for not only innovation and creativity, but also for education in values and emotional education. All carried out today, in the globalized information society. Our students not only need theoretical contents and knowledge data but also need these practical, value-based, critical approaches to make everyday decisions, form opinions and express feelings to be active citizens that bets on solving problems in a peaceful way, in multicultural, greatly technified and highly complex democratic societies. It is a multidisciplinary project that involves very diverse curricular areas such as Theater, Music, Drawing, Audiovisuals, Ethics and Education for Citizenship, Literature and Spanish Language, Technology, Computer Science, English and Physical Education all oriented towards the development of art and technology in education as a means for social cohesion and integration, education in values and the fight against inequalities and discrimination, fight against xenophobia and commitment to coexistence and peace, all together. The language of this project is Spanish. For this reason, the project is also a unique opportunity for the promotion of Spanish as an international language and communication in Europe; language skills such as reading famous works, collaborative writing workshops, theater plays, famous Spanish lyrics, video recording and poster collection, and exposing photographs with selected phrases from famous authors, all in Spanish are developed. Throughout the project Teacher Training Workshops whose objective is to share and communicate different and innovative educational practices that implement and improve our curriculums and ultimately, educational quality (different methodologies, shared digital tools, curricular contents , Information technologies applied to education) will also be carried out. There is a permanent teacher training whose ultimate aim is to increase the interest and motivation of students for learning as well as the integral development of people. In our educational community, we will promote the European Development Plan and the Internationalization of the Center through communication and cooperation with European centers collaborating in the project, as well as the active participation of all educational agents, students, teachers, parents and non-teaching staff in the management and organization, in problem solving together and in improving the management of the center. In our localities and countries, we will also learn about the various training paths of artistic and technological studies at higher and university levels, as well as their work dimension. We will analyze what the labor market is and its conditions as well as the companies of the sector that work in our towns, cities and countries. The aim will be to increase cooperation between the school and the different participants (public sector, the world of work, civil society) as well as the various authorities to promote increased employment opportunities, local, regional and transnational initiatives that promote mentality and entrepreneurship in the context of art and technology.
