CEP La Laguna applied for the MINEART project to address the need for engaging, accessible art education across European schools. The project aims to enhance teacher and students' understanding of European art, cultural diversity, and digital skills through an innovative, game-based approach using Minecraft Education. This method supports inclusion, critical thinking, and appreciation for European heritage among young learners, fostering a sense of shared identity and civic engagement across diverse backgrounds.
