In this project students study the European cultural heritage focussed on art to find an answer to the question: what binds Europe together? For that purpose we use Art by creating a project where students learn about EU cultural heritage, similarity in cultural heritage, to create a mutual product of art: representing the bonding of EU based on heritage and their ideals to face European problems and to fight for a better future for all. The EU is facing the most difficult days in its existence.Students aren’t aware that Art bonds people, despite where you’re from, what kind of religion you have, the color of your skin, economical background. It leads to better understanding, to better social inclusion (also for new comers), creates a better future.We want students to find own answers to this question, work together to get more social involvement, to become a better European citizen, to reach social awareness and that people have more similarities than differences. Our objectives are that the learning and growth will be carried out in an innovative and motivating learning environment. Our aim:: we want students be highly committed to the content of the project (inclusive education). In this way it empowers active citizenship. Young people will be open to cross-sectorial cooperation. We achieve: social awareness, entrepreneurial skills, better skills in the use of technology and digital media, better research skills, the use of and exploring of creative skills, better debating skills. Concrete results will be: - a product of art (final product) by each partner made by an international group of students combined to one piece of art - knowledge of European and national cultural heritage - outlines of the piece of art as a whole and pieces to produce in mixed international groups - presentations of research results and product - workshop to get knowledge of entrepreneurship (focus on social entrepreneurship) - taking part in Session Night Live - a touring exhibition Planned activities to lead to achievement of the objectives:: - a research assignment about cultural heritage of the home country of a partner school done in mixed international group of students to gain knowledge and awareness mutuality of cultural heritage - outlines of the piece of art based on the results of the students research (the mutuality of Europe has to be visible) - presentations of research results and product and explaination why their idea represents the mutuality of Europe and why their idea is the best to represent social inclusion, to get a better Europe, that Europe has to stick together to face the dangers mentioned in the background of the project - Students will choose the best plan to carry out. - a final product of Art by each partner made by an international group of students combined to one piece of art. The students have to produce their part of the piece of art during workshop time (atelier-hours) coached by art-teachers - debating battles: to achieve even more social awareness and understanding the students will follow workshops on how to debate and will take part in debating battles . Topics will in connection with the project. In this way the student will even more learn how people of their own age think about the dangers Europe is facing and how these dangers can be solved according to the participating students - Session Night Live. Students of all participating partner schools will perform during Session Night Live to express the mutuality of art. They will choose music or dance which is typical for their country of origin. The reaction of the audience to the performances will show the students that art is really bonding together Europeans. In this way students will increase social awareness, will learn that art bonds, that you can use art to reach ideals, that working and living together is part of social inclusion (you learn from each other, get respect for the others, feel responsible for each other) and that Europe has a mutual background. 20 students (age 15-16, pre-university level) will be involved in the project in each partner organisation. In mobility’s planned in the project, students will host peers from partner countries or will be guests themselves. Students will get into contact with host families, friends and neighbours. All this leads to better understanding of cultural diversity in EU, more tolerance, which is an important part of our project. 5 organisations from 5 countries are involved. They will disseminate the results of the project in their countries. Each partner also cooperates with numerous other foreign partners (schools etc) therefore the results will be presented and promoted outside the participating countries. In this way non-participating teachers and students can benefit form this project in the long-term. Interested? We will share the project, experiences with other schools ( part of our dissemination)

We had plans to present and to promote the results outside the participating countries. In this way non-participating teachers and students would have had the benefit form this project in the long-term. Because of the travel-restrictions by Corona we could not carry out this plan, just like the 2nd part of our plans in april 2020. We could not travel to each other. All the mobilties were not allowed. Interested? We will share the project, experiences with other schools ( part of our dissemination)
