Project summary

ERASMUS PROJECT KA229 September 2019- June 2021 Art Ambassadors France – Spain – Greece Partners: Patricia Vera Morales / Marina Betinaki / Solange Ramond / Don Pierre Peraldi General objectives: We think that art matters and that students need to be accompanied to discover the world of museums or other cultural places which they often see as foreign, too old, too classic, too lofty, too intellectual. In order to carry out the project we established partnerships with cultural institutions. We feel we need to take them on a journey through European art and museums so they can discover cultural institutions (how they work) and works of art that will help them get to know their own cultural heritage and build a European culture. They will learn about the European heritage and will learn to enjoy its culture, how to talk about it through innovative approaches like collaborative learning + group work and new technologies. They will reinforce their language and communication skills. The ultimate objective is for students to feel included in the surrounding culture whether they be in museums or part of the heritage. We want students to feel they belong to this culture and this culture belongs to them.

Throughout the project we agreed to exchange via new technologies (creation of a Twinspace, an eTwinning group among other implementations). The targets will be assessed all along the project using different tools such as questionnaires, interviews, grids, meetings and exchanges to make sure we are in the right direction. This recap as written by the coordinators has been agreed on by the partners (see Annexes)
