Project summary

The goal of our project is to make students aware of the fact that art (through its different forms) live through ages and that it develops from a common and European cultural heritage. Thanks to this project, about twenty of French students living in a village, near a small town, will be able to collaborate with about twenty Cretan students, whose country gave birth to European culture and they will be able to discover a new culture and its influence over European art through this collaboration while Cretan students will become aware of this influence. All the work and visits achieved during this project will allow students from both countries to discover new ways of working and learning, in particular through their collaborative works. The students will communicate in English. Students will learn how to work together, how to organize their work, how to better use digital tools. To finish, we wish our students will develop their creativity and learn more about art. We will also wish their work will attract out-of-the-project students' curiosity. We will evaluate whether we reached our goals through questionnaires aimed at students participating to the project and out-of-the-project students, those questionnaires will be answered at different steps of the project to evaluate how the project helped develop students' intercultural knowledge and how it made more students' interested in the project. To finish, we will watch how students manage to better organize team work, and they manage to communicate with students in a foreign language and how they manage to better use digital tools all along the project.
