O_live results contribute to modernize the EU education/training system and create competences that benefit individuals, schools, institutions and society as a whole. In particular: Firstly, teacher empowerment. To support primary teachers with additional attractive teaching tools. To offer them a fresh, easy to implement, time oriented, action-game oriented method. Ensuring effective civil education, positively impacting students' learning outcomes and overall development. Secondly, to encourage/build safe, inclusive and democratic learning environments where teachers explore knowledge along with their students. How?Mainly by using their bodies, skills and minds through a method that combines Creative Drama and Sport. Both are proven to be highly motivating, social, fun learning tools cultivating conceptual understanding and critical thinking. Last but not least, to inspire and enhance the awareness/skills of primary school students (in the pre-adolescent phase, 8-10 years old) to adopt an active and democratic way of life. Based on the common values of the EU and Olympism such as unity, respect etc. To become a better version of themselves and eventually in the future to contribute to a more just, peaceful and sustainable world
2017/ The European Commission's Eurydice report highlights the need to strengthen civic education in schools through additional materials for teachers 2020/ Based on Democracy Index report the 70% of countries recorded a decline in their democracy score 2022-2023/ Based on ACLED Conflict Index due to wars, it has been one of the most violent and conflictive years since the end of World War II. Political violence has increased by 27% The societies are increasingly tired, overwhelmed by content saturation and exhausted by the speed of the changes they have to assimilate. How do we respond to all of these? We chose to be active! To create O_live, a project that returns to the basis of humanity, to values. Our thinking was simple: Democratic and active citizenship, human values are skills and skills need to be learned. The future citizens and leaders of the world will come from the schools that we have now. So, if we better equip students our world will be better! And who is at the heart of education? The teachers. They have a significant influence on students as they can foster a growth mindset. Students with such a mindset are more likely to develop into democratic, reflective and adaptable citizens.
