Educarte is a 24-month project, with 9 partners from 5 countries. The project explores how to promote European identity and intercultural dialogue in 8 European public schools through Art in order to strengthen the creativity of minors (the vast majority of them of immigrant origin and at risk of exclusion) and develop digital competence and their empowerment.The 8 schools are characterized by being located in areas with a high% of population of immigrant origin in Madrid, Turin, Terni, Évora, Budapest and Brussels. We include an integrated gender approach, analyzing the role of women, invisible in the past, within the framework of the European Defense of Human Rights and Memory.Beneficiaries1,500 minors, adolescents and young people who lack a European cultural identity, plus 300 family members (80% of them of immigrant origin and at risk of exclusion)700 educational and artistic professionals trained in national training spaces and international meetings100 volunteers1,200 people participate indirectly in dissemination events through Art, reaching 3,800 direct and indirect beneficiaries Activities6 meetings in Madrid, Terni, Ghent, Turin, Évora and Budapest, that include coordination and follow-up meetings (economic, logistical, pedagogical, organizational, evaluation, IT and methodological), and meetings for the exchange of good practices.1,280 theoretical-practical laboratories (160 per school) implemented in schools during school hours by experts in European identity and intercultural dialogue (theoretical part - 15%) and by artists (practical part of internalization through Arts - 85%) in the 8 centers in 5 countries.+30 micro-videos created by minors to develop their digital competence and be protagonists of the project.5 training actions with educational and artistic professionals on creativity and art for the development of skills with minorsMethodologyA participatory methodology will be implemented, based on art and creativity, incorporating specific tools from the artistic world and non-formal educational pedagogy - conducting laboratories and practical workshops with an integrated gender approach - into the formal education in European identity.GoalsPromote equal opportunities for minors and families at risk of exclusion through the creation of a NETWORK of schools.Train in new pedagogies and learning models favoring the development and digital skills, based on creativity and art and European identity, active citizenship and intercultural dialogue.Train teachers and educational professionals by an international team of artists and experts in European identity through Arts.Develop digital skills with minors following a practical modelWeave networks between institutions and administrations with competences in the educational framework of public schoolsPrepare support materials and videos to allow the implementation and replication of resources and tools in other schools and entities.Disseminate good practices and work carried out through websites and social networks.Involve families, minors and teachers in order to take action.Conduct an evaluation.Get the involvement of volunteers.ResultsAn innovative project is carried out promoting equal opportunities.An intervention NETWORK is created, with the participation of 8 schools and 5 universities and +50 administrations and entities.The participants are provided with tools to find creative solutions that will allow them to face new challenges.Digital skills are favored trough creativity, enhancing a creative development.The European identity as a common space is worked through arts, an active citizenship approach, and through tangible and intangible heritage and intercultural dialogue.An international team is created specifically made up of artists and multidisciplinary experts from 5 countries.6 international meetings are held to exchange good practices.Professionals from the educational and artistic world are trained in the project methodology.Exchange is encouraged and experiences are shared between 8 schools.At least 40 collaboration agreements are signed on the matter of European Identity & Arts between NGOs, foundations, universities, schools and other entities.Didactic materials are elaborated with methodological and didactic recommendationsCommunication and dissemination work is carried out.

"<< 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.

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.
