The partnership behind "Reach Out" consists of a school and a youth-organisation (leisuretime) in DK, LT & PL + University College Absalon (DK), who will be responsible for research/intellectual output in the project. The schools did already back in 2014 set up 3 goals for their international projects: - free student exchanges in school-time as an integrated learning tool - teacher swob - workshops in schools with artists from other countries. The 3 involved schools are member of a network, which now consists of 18 schools around the Baltic Sea and first of all has been busy with implementing mobilities for 8th grade students, but now misses implementing "workshops in schools with artists from other countries" and is interested in seeing, which impact this will have as an alternative or ammendment to the mobilities. The 3 leisuretime structures do all have experiences with such workshops and knows well a row of artists, both national and international, who will be working at 4 schools in Guldborgsund (DK), Klaipeda (LT) & Wejherowo (PL), which all will be visited 3 times by 3 artists following a program developed in a national-funded project in 2010. This program secures that the whole school is taking part in for example morning warming up, and so all student will increase their intercultural knowledge and -understanding and be much more a European and/or global citizen. The workshops in 2010 did also show that the students named "corridor-walkers", who either leave the classroom or are asked to leave, now were positive, constructive active, and in Reach Out University College Absalon will research on this, and especially look at the impact from the workshops on learning-motivation and well-being in school in order to prevent school-drop-out and boredom in the classrooms.
