MUS-E Amigos em Direto (Live Friends – LiF)Context:Digital communication tools have entered the daily lives of schools in the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to its urgent implementation, its understanding remains basic. It is justified to invest in these new media, because they will be powerful tools in the future of the new generations. The MUS-E Program maintains an international network of artists, with its own methodology, working on inclusion by artistic practice in Basic Education, in academic time and in coordination with teachers. Description of activities and methodology:The MUS-E Live Friends Project (MUS-E LiF) will incorporate a structure with 7 partners and their previous experiences will be seen as complementary. It will be developed in 4 regions / municipalities: Asturias, Budapest, Leiria and Kassel. It will involve about 90 teachers, 900 students, 30 artists and 25 technicians from the 4 countries. More than 80 volunteers and trainee students from higher education will collaborate. It will involve the families of the students (about 500 people) and the community (about 2000 indirect beneficiaries). The MUS-E LiF will therefore integrate actors from the teaching sector (teachers, students and auxiliaries) and actors from the culture and creativity sector (MUS-E artists). MUS-E LiF aims to connect basic education classes (6-10 years) from 4 European countries within the MUS-E school network using modern digital synchronous and asynchronous communication tools. The duration of the MUS-E-E LiF (24 months) will be divided into 4 periods sensitive to the school calendar and in each, classes of different nationalities will be asked for communication and development of work proposals.The content of these proposals will be that of Artistic Expressions, to be developed in the project sessions, in school time, in collaboration and international coordination between teachers and artists. These activities will be the subject of formal presentations, online, open to the educational community and recorded for future memory. In parallel, synchronous and asynchronous knowledge exchange activities on schools, communities, languages, uses and customs will be promoted in order to strengthen European ties. Families will be invited to participate, helping students make their contributions.Interspersing these working periods, each country will hold a transnational meeting in which representatives of all partners will participate, for preparation (briefing)of the next period and reflection on the previous period (debriefing). The second meeting will be transnational formation, taking advantage of the teachings of the first period, launch and great learning. The last meeting will be only debriefing and compilation of good practices. Coordination meetings will be held between project partners and representatives of the educational communities of each municipality. Goals:The MUS-E LiF Project, assumes the following objectives, coinciding with the expected results and impacts: The promotion of students' creativity in artistic expressions (music, dance, movement, theater, visual arts...) and their adaptation to the digital universe. The promotion of digital, synchronous and asynchronous media within the school community. The promotion of European cohesion, from the ages of basic education, through knowledge, understanding, acceptance and online interaction with international counterparts. The integration into the local and international group of disadvantaged children (and their families), by broadening their horizons and motivation for school and for the future. Outputs:The result of the artistic practices developed by the students, in multimedia materials, open and available to the educational community. Reflection on the work performed during the Project and the compilation of experiences and good practices, for dissemination through digital e-twinning platforms and social networks. The preparation of a report with the evaluation process (initial, process and final evaluation).Results and Impact (according to the established objectives):Students will enjoy: International contact with their counterparts. Strengthening European perception and identity. Practice of digital communication technologies and multimedia production. Promotion of creativity in artistic expressions and in its adaptation to the digital universe. Motivation for school attendance, by submitting proposals of high interest. Integration of disadvantaged or at-risk pupils from social exclusion and their families by broadening their social horizons.Teachers and artists will enjoy: Access to international contact with their counterparts. Practice of digital communication, translation, and multimedia production technologies. Practice of coordinating artistic and educational activities in an international context. Practice of their own artistic expressions, in an international context.

Promotion of cooperation between regional authorities, ministries of education and municipal administrations. Implementation of integrated models of education between participating countries.Project Description:It is an international project that has directly benefited 1339 professionals (teachers, management teams from schools, pedagogical coordinators, psychologists, educators and social workers, artists and technicians of public administration). The project proposes the training of these professionals to implement their work in the field of education in primary and secondary schools to improve social cohesion. The project has an intersectoral character since it implies responsibles for different educational environments: management teams, teachers and parent associations (at school level)), local public responsibles, autonomic, regional and national responsibles, associations and cultural enterprises (training artists), internships and volunteers. The project is linked with the acquisition of new methodologies that foster creativity and entrepreneurship, and is based on a process of learning and service.Each country implemented a training meeting attended by 779 professional members of its national networks. The training was managed by a team of specialized trainers, ambassadors of good practices. This team (composed of 21 people) was multidisciplinary (it will include artistic and pedagogical disciplines) and multi-sectoral. Each trainer provided artistic, social and/or pedagogical specific and differentiated teaching. The training team rotated through all participating countries.Training meetings consist of initial theoretical training (2-3 days). Once the theoretical training has been finished, participating professionals receive practical training (additional 2-3 days) in different institutions of the training hosting country, based on observation and participation in artistic workshops, sessions and training laboratories in schools situated in areas of priority attention. The workshops were held with children, their families and their teachers. During these practical experiences participating professionals learned how to implement the practical application of social and pedagogical tools acquired in the theoretical methodological training.There were also meetings of coordination, planning, monitoring and evaluation of the process, which counted with the presence of partners of the project, as well as experts in pedagogical-artistic methodologies in the field of the European Union.Intellectual products: European methodological guide of socio-educational intervention through arts, Evaluation report, multimedia good practices guide and a WIKI space (http://fyme-erasmusplus.org/arte-motivacion)

"<< Background >>The partner entities, from a previous joint analysis and reflection work, consider that within the framework of the 2030 Agenda and the promotion of the Sustainable Development Goals promoted by the UN, it is necessary to promote inclusion and equal opportunities, mainly of people with disabilities, who are undoubtedly doubly vulnerable and sometimes invisible. Promoting the participation of people with disabilities or special educational needs in carrying out activities of an artistic and cultural nature, to help generate parameters that guarantee an inclusive, equitable and quality education, in line with SDG 4.It will be done in a positive and friendly way, not from the vision of the deficit, but from the potential and capabilities that these minors have and for this we want to use the tools that art facilitates us to value all their potential, because before the Art we are all the same, and creation and imagination have no physical limits, nor psychological is just a matter of where we look. Build a more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable society where no one is left behind, in line with SDG 11.We request it due to the need to work in the educational context, to alleviate situations of inequality to which people with disabilities seem more exposed, in specific special education centers and primary / secondary education, with students with special needs. In all the centers we will work during school hours and with all the students, so that there is a real inclusion between students with some and other abilities, we believe that inclusive work is very important, each setting aside their potential.In addition, a professional line linked to artistic work will be generated when they finish their schooling, something very novel since most of the alternatives are linked to physical work (carpentry, gardening, ...). We want to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all, in line with SDG 8. Based on art and culture as a vehicle for inclusion, EMOCIONARTE seeks to generate actions that allow achieving SDG 4, 8 and 11 particularly.In education - and also in employment - the construction of citizenship is a key aspect and, logically, in them the promotion of people's awareness and participation as active citizens. With the purpose of ""leaving no one behind"" EMOCIONARTE aims to promote personal autonomy and active participation, education in values, learning throughout life, as well as the achievement of personal skills, involving both educational institutions, such as foundations and organized civil society. EMOCIONARTE intends in turn to give tools to teachers who work with minors with special needs based on non-formal methodologies through Art, using a language that they do not understand about disability. The project will help teachers to find new skills in children.It is necessary to generate good practices that help establish an inclusive and equitable education, where from the art, transversal teaching-learning processes are generated that promote responsible citizenship among students, supported by the principle of inclusion. The knowledge of new employment opportunities for people with disabilities will be promoted, not only as recipients of the offer, but also for the generation of opportunities, and that allow their emotional and personal development, showing capacities beyond the physical ones. Additionally, one of the expected results of the project implies an increase in the participation in occupations that are significant for the participants, which will increase their participation in different contexts (not only educational or professional, but also in the field of leisure and recreation).<< Objectives >>We want to apply the development of emotional intelligence and art as a model of intervention with minors with disabilities, influencing the exchange of good practices to favor the inclusion of minors, their entrepreneurship and training for employment through artistic development. Working in specific centers and ordinary centers with students with special needs, since we believe that it is necessary to provide verified practical methodologies, pooling the different experiences in the partner countries, so that the policies of each country for defense are collected. of an education for all, accessible and of quality, from practical actions. Collecting a profile of beneficiaries marked by their family situations, of possible exclusion not only as a problem of material deficiencies but also a lack of expectations and skills.Goals:1. Share good training practices with minors with disabilities and generate reference models that can be replicated to improve the inclusion of these groups from the point of view of art, which contribute to guarantee an inclusive, equitable and quality education, in line with SDG 4. We involved 15 centers, with specialists from different areas (teachers, social workers, educators ...) and different administrations (city councils, social policy departments, education, culture and universities), to weave a network that allows supporting and sustaining inclusive projects so that society see the potential of these people.2. Create “amateur artistic companies” (dance, choir, theater) made up of minors with and without physical and / or mental disabilities, promoting their active participation and carrying out artistic activities that allow a more inclusive, safe, recipient and sustainable society, in in line with SDG 11. We will introduce people to the artistic world who, due to their disability, are often marginalized, helping to overcome prejudices that disabled people have more limitations when faced with the artistic event and, by extension, with other social and cultural facts .3. Promote the improvement of the quality of life of people with disabilities, their personal and cultural development, developing their personal autonomy, empowerment, entrepreneurship and their ability to excel, in order to enhance self-confidence and security, their levels of self-esteem and their self-concept. We will facilitate the development of sensoriality, sensitivity, affections and emotions and their cognitive potential, favoring learning situations and the acquisition of a positive way of communication with the environment.4. Develop educational actions of theoretical-practical training with artists, educators and other participants in matters of social skills, artistic area, creations of productions and shows with minors with other abilities.<< Implementation >>Prior to the start of the project. Presentation of the project to different administrations, entities and educational centers for their knowledge and involvement. Presentation in Extremadura, Asís-Terni, Budapest, Évora, Eberbach-Dottingen and Brussels of the project to different administrations, entities and educational centers.

Each show is performed 3 times. Therefore 18 representations that can be replicated in different spaces of the participating municipalities. The shows will have public and / or private municipal support and will be free. 6 international coordination meetings EMOCIONARTEWork in 15 schools: Los Angeles, Proa and Ponce León (Extremadura), Cruz da Picada and Manuel Ferreira Patrício (Évora), Trixhes, Jean Herbet and IRSA (Terni), Benedetto Brin and Virgilio Alterocca (Terni), Serafico e Sant ' Antonio (Assisi), EGYMI and Óbudai Nagy László (Budapest) and Sonnenbergschule (Ballrechten-Dottingen) with minors and teachers. They are carried out at least 1,440 hours (during 24 months) during school hours. Minors with disabilities receive workshops through different artistic disciplines (theater, visual arts, dance, plastic arts, music ...) that prepare them for mixed shows. In schools, workshops are held during school hours for all students with the aim of working on inclusion.Compilation of all materials for the presentation of the final project activity report.<< Results >>R. 1 A set of good practices has been generated, through the creation of joint companies in 15 European schools and the launching of shows, which help promote an inclusive and equitable quality education, where through art and education culture, transversal teaching-learning processes are generated that promote responsible citizenship among students, supported by the principle of inclusion.R.2 The shows and preparatory work in schools have promoted new tools for future access to employment opportunities for people with disabilities, not only as recipients of the offer, but also for the generation of opportunities that society can offer.

"CAPACITARTE (Capacity & Art) trains professionals in the artistic-pedagogical world in order to extend and develop their skills in active non-formal methodologies through art, creativity and culture. These professionals of the artistic-pedagogical world trained in non-formal methodologies through Art will revert their learning in future trainings with management teams, teachers and AMPAS of educational centers located in areas of priority attention.PrioritiesExtend and develop the skills of educators.Detect successful educational actions at European level in terms of equity, diversity and inclusion.CAPACITARTE creates a practical methodology, based on successful actions, which will be effective for its subsequent application in teachers, management teams and parent associations of schools with an increasing complexity and diversity in their classrooms.ContextWe will work with teachers and parent associations located in environments affected by spatial segregation in stigmatized neighborhoods, difficulty to access social protection systems, exclusion from labor markets, gender violence ... which makes the training in innovative tools and methodologies necessary.MethodologyThe training core will be a participatory methodology will be implemented through art, culture and creativity, incorporating specific tools from the artistic and pedagogical world of non-formal education. The methodology implies an integrated approach to gender and includes the implementation of laboratories and practical workshops.Goals01 The project will carry out effective training to professionals of the artistic-pedagogical world in active and innovative methodologies.02 They will acquire tools that will then be applied to school teachers, management teams and parent associations03 Create an intervention NETWORK to improve learning through art at European level.04 Create an international team of trainers.05 Elaborate materials and gather all training contents and micro-videos.06 Create a web page to disseminate and promote the exchange of good practices07 Train +300 professionals from all national structures08 Disseminate the project among educational administrations09 Carry out 6 international training meetings10 Carry out an external evaluation report of the program11 Transfer the contents of the trainings to school boards of +6 centers of the implemented pilot project.12 Sign adult training collaboration agreements between partners and public and private universities.13 Involve families to address social inclusion14 Involve +100 volunteers15 Achieve an important impact of the project and make the results achieved visibleActivitiesThe project has an inter-sectorial nature and involves entities from very different areas (NGOs, foundations, universities, town halls, training companies ...).Two schools participate in order to apply the CAPACITARTE model with teachers and parent associations.Approximately 100 mobilities will be carried out in 6 ""3-day"" encounters to exchange differentiated and specific artistic, social and / or pedagogical knowledge. In these 6 meetings (Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Belgium, Italy and Germany) theoretical training is shared with practical training.There will be 2 meetings of coordination, planning, monitoring and evaluation of the process.The project will end with an act of dissemination at the European Parliament.ResultsCAPACITARTE will directly train +300 professionals and indirectly train +1.500 professionalsMaterials will elaborated - a collection of all trainings A project website is createdCAPACITARTE is disseminated on social networks.The project will be disseminated among public educational administrationsAn external evaluation has been carried out, collecting results and transferring of contentsWork has been done at university levelCAPACITARTE will incorporate more than 100 volunteersIntellectual products:Creation of a WEB pageMaterials collecting all training actionsMicro-videos of training actionsMaterials disseminated in social networksModel of workshops and laboratoriesCollection of a visual information modelExternal evaluation reportSustainability:The project will be sustainable in itself since its main objective is to detect educational keys of extrapolable success, and it will be therefore the people who have attended the training and diffusion meetings those who will make it known in their work environments. In turn, the national structures of all participating entities (partners) will be in charge of disseminating the results of the project in their forums and social networks, so that each country will continue to train professionals in the artistic-educational field."

The WE ALL COUNT Project has several key priorities: 1. Reduce school absenteeism. 2. Address the disadvantage of children and families, by developing the Schools’ work for Families. 3. Improve the competence of education professionals in order to solve absenteeism and disadvantage. 4. Consider diversity as an asset and not as an inconvenience. The project envisages an online process and the development of open multimedia educational tools eligible to become an example of good practices. The project involves 13 partners, reflecting its heterogeneity and complementarity. We believe to be capable of managing the complexity arising from such a large number of partners in the light of preceding European projects and of the commitment and enthusiasm expressed by the new partners. Indeed, we believe that, seeing the great effort made by everyone in the preparatory meetings and consultations, the large number of partners involved is actually a point of strength of the project. The project is to be implemented in areas both urban (in Rome and Budapest) and rural (in the province of Toledo), in schools with a high percentage of socially disadvantaged students. It involves more than 120 teachers and over 400 students from 3 Countries. It envisages the cooperation of more than 10 artists, over 30 senior school officials, voluntary workers and university trainees. The key element of the project will be the work conducted with the children and their families (involving more than 500 people) and with the community in general. The direct and indirect beneficiaries are expected to be at least 3,200. The project envisages the development of open educational tools in order to implement the project in more schools and the creation of a e-twinning / WIKI space in which to disseminate materials and results. The leitmotif will be the production of a short film on memory, the present and future of the children and their families (with dance, music and theatre performances, exhibitions, etc.), which implies a space for exchange, starting with a search into one’s personal and cultural reality (diversity as an asset). The final products are to be produced by the children and their families (empowerment). Three transnational meetings will be organised in Rome, Budapest and in the province of Toledo, to be attended by all the partners with a view to exchanging the good practices specific to each group. Coordination meetings will be scheduled with the presence of the local partners and representatives of educational communities. Training classes will be provided. Trainees will feed the training received back to their communities. The project start-up, process and conclusion will be assessed and a final external evaluation report will be drafted. Part of the project will be implemented during school hours, making it possible to involve the entire education community. The project programme is practical and participative. There is no learning of theoretical contents but it involves absorbing them and putting them into practice so as to facilitate social cohesion, reduce absenteeism and improve the students’ motivation to learn. External agents (artists) will be involved to reveal different visions of reality. The project will be disseminated by the European Parliament (in an event with Euro-Parliamentarians), with the attendance of all the project partners. The objectives mostly coincide with the expected results: 1. Create a long-lasting cooperation network aimed at improving the professional skills of the teaching staff through the development of a socio-educational intervention method based on art and developing people’s emotional intelligence. 2. Train more than 120 teachers from 3 Countries, who will know the project and exchange their experiences. 3. Create Schools for Parents. Families are trained to take active part in the work that will be carried out with their children in different areas: definition of rules and limits, using technological devices, overcoming cultural and generational diversity, etc. 4. Disclose the results obtained with more than 400 students who will improve their skills, their motivation to learn and their social cohesion. 5. Develop material to improve national methods: 1- a document to illustrate the method 2- evaluation form 3- DVD with best practices. 6. Reduce absenteeism, learning difficulties and the level of demotivation. 7. Create a WIKI or e-twinning platform through which to disseminate the work carried out. 8. Train 15 artists in the field of education, in addition to voluntary workers and trainees. 9. Work with the community from the perspective of gender and intercultural difference, equality and sense of citizenship. 10. Disseminate the Project among local education administrations and in the European Parliament. 11. Assess the satisfaction of participants with respect to the training received and the exchange of their experience.
