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.

It allows the improvement of the skills of students and the training of educational professionals in new tools. Creation of a practical methodology to be effective against the growing complexity and diversity of European classrooms, reducing dropout and improving learning through Arts. Implementation of products and methodologies of good practices of permanent exchange between formal and non-formal learning. Application of an interdisciplinary approach.Objectives:1. Creation of a network based on a methodology of socio-educational intervention through art as a tool of transformation that supports the development of individual skills in education and promote entrepreneurship based on a theoretical and practical methodology of competitions.2. Exchange between formal and informal learning that promotes the work by competencies.3. Development of emotional intelligence to encourage imagination, creation and entrepreneurship.4. Preparation of materials that collect the experience and enable the training of future professionals of the national networks of each participating partner.5. Promotion of the entrepreneurial capacity of the participating professionals, in order for them to create networks and models of good practices that promote active citizenship and social entrepreneurship.6. Training of artists, and support the creation of jobs for professional artists in the field of education.7 Supportive collaboration from an intercultural perspective.8. 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)

CREATING BRIDGES is a project to exchange successful practices among entities from Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium and Italy that are linked by their work around our common European heritage. A close work between schools and museums in 8 European municipalities will help CREATING BRIDGES to promote social inclusion and improve the acquisition of key skills and competences in minors.Schools with high percentages of students at risk of social exclusion (mainly minors of immigrant and gypsy origin) - and their families - will be active participants in CREATING BRIDGES. The profile of our beneficiaries is very little linked to a European sentiment and has almost no access to culture.Museums, NGOs, universities, public educational and cultural entities, and schools will work together during 30 months. The project combines guided visits to museums with more than 1,500 children at risk of social exclusion (and their families). We will implement artistic workshops during school hours before the guided visits to ease the guided tours and implement artistic workshops after the guided visits to internalize the concepts and promote awareness of a Common European heritage. Minors get involved, improve their analytical, critical and interpretive skills, reducing learning problems and demotivation levels. The work is developed from a gender, intercultural, equity and citizenship perspective. Parents associations will also be trained to achieve the future sustainability of the project in schools.The outputs of the artistic work will be translated into shows, exhibitions and murals (to empower our beneficiaries) which will be shown in all participating countries. The project also involves the production of a documentary that summarizes the European experience of CREATING BRIDGES in museums and classrooms.CREANDO PUENTES wants to identify successful educational activities implemented between European schools and museums. More than 300 education professionals actively participate and exchange their experiences. It reaches more than 1,500 children and their families. +100 artists, volunteers and students in higher education practices associated with the world of education (psychology, pedagogy, social education, sociology ...) will collaborate and receive specific training. The project will improve national methodologies of socio-educational intervention in museums, which will encourage exchange and good practices.CREANDO PUENTES will be disseminated among educational administrations related to each participating partners, among non-partner collaborating entities, and will be spread in the environments of participating schools. We want to disseminate the project at the headquarters of the European Parliament in Madrid and/or Brussels, in order to give visibility to our achievements in the presence of all interested partners, journalists, and delegates from Embassies and European institutions. The ideal place would be the Yehudi Menuhin Hall at the European Parliament.Activities:01. Intervention with minors in participating schools and participating museums/universities during the three school years.02. Work with families. We also want to involve families in the project, and we want them to carry out a parallel work to the one implemented by their children (specific work with families or joined work with children and families).03. Work with teachers. We will train teachers of participating schools in the contents of the project, since we need their active participation in our activities with families and minors, a key element if we want our project to be successful.04. Entities with experience in non-formal education will disseminate the project's activities and methodology in their local, regional, national and/or international training meetings.05. Each school carries out each school year a CREATING BRIDGES day of open doors, a show, an exhibition or a collective mural of dissemination of the contents of the project (through theater, dance and plastic and visual arts).06. Preparation and editing of documentaries in which the experiences lived in museums and schools are collected and disseminated in social networks.07. The project includes an evaluation report. We do not want our project to simply entertain, we want it to transform.08. We will elaborate a didactic document (didactic units complemented with images of the theoretical and practical workshops) that includes all key and successful educational actions.The project also includes the creation of an open access web page in order to disseminate all actions. At the end of the project we will create a networking methodology between schools and museums, which we will initially export to other municipalities of all 5 participating countries and later on to municipalities in other European countries.

"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."

"ART FOR COEXISTENCE has been a 30-month project, made up of 15 partners from 6 countries (MOVETIA additionally financed the participation of 6 Swiss entities). We have detected keys and successful actions in the European educational field, we have disseminated them and apply them in other settings, responding to the reduction of school absenteeism, addressing disadvantageous situations with minors and their families, improving the skills of educational professionals.Art is an important resource in working with school children in marginal areas and at risk of exclusion. We have included an integrated gender approach.Beneficiaries:2,113 minors, adolescents and youngsters,2,166 professionals and families trained in national training spaces and international seminars507 Other beneficiaries142 Volunteers91 ArtistsActivities:1. 6 meetings in Velilla San Antonio, Turin, Évora, Berlin, Budapest and Brussels that included coordination and monitoring meetings (economic, logistical, pedagogical, organizational evaluation, informatics and methodological), and exchanges of good practices in schools ( 8 centers).
