The “LIFE on mARTS” project aimed to address the objectives of the participating organizations from a dual perspective. On the one hand, it promoted collaboration between cultural, artistic, and scientific institutions and the educational sector, aiming to develop innovative and interdisciplinary educational models that would foster the cultural growth of younger generations and enhance the teaching of STEM/STEAM subjects. On the other hand, the project encouraged the international openness of the partners, creating a concrete opportunity for exchange between different methods and approaches (artistic and scientific), thus supporting joint experimentation and professional development. The encounter between the Italian and Greek educational systems stimulated the creation of shared practices, replicable paths, and skills useful for managing future European initiatives, strengthening the capacity for networking and promoting the integration of creativity, science, and active citizenship. Finally, the final online meeting was held on May 30th, where teachers were given a detailed presentation of the project's results, the tools available to them, and where to consult and download them.
CasermArcheologica developed the “LIFE on mARTS” project in collaboration with the Natural History Museum of Crete to address the need for interdisciplinary and transnational educational pathways that enrich the skills of school communities by fostering dialogue between art and science. The two institutions combined their expertise: CasermArcheologica, active in the fields of creativity and cultural regeneration, and the Museum, specialized in scientific research and environmental education. The project aimed to enhance this complementarity by developing a shared, creative, and accessible approach. Educational tools were designed for teachers of all school levels, intended to support the teaching of scientific subjects and raise awareness among students and educators on environmental and climate-related issues. This method promoted experiential learning, collaborative work, school engagement, and the transferability of the educational models developed.
