In our project 'Inclusion through Art and Media' (I AM) we cooperate with 6 European schools, from Spain (Sitges), Denmark (Maaloev),Hungary (Budapest), Iceland (Reykjavik), Germany (Achim) and The Netherlands (Huizen). With the priority in our project on Inclusion, a diversity of partners in North, South, East and West of Europe, will give it definitely a more powerful dimension. At all partner schools, staff and teachers are aware of the task we have as educators to not just transfer knowledge to pupils, but also offer them the tools to enhance their abilities for good citizenship. Inclusion is part of everyday (school) life and teachers as well as students and parents, experience new challenges every day. Looking at today’s situation in Europe and the world it becomes more and more obvious that the challenges will not end very soon, and therefore teachers and students need to be equipped with the necessary competences to meet and adequately deal with diversity. All partner schools have integrated 'Citizenship' in their school curriculum either through special classes or project weeks.During the project our goal is to develop and exchange new teaching materials to be used for this purpose. In other words, appealing teaching materials for youngsters when dealing with inclusion, in the widest sense of the word. Evaluations among pupils having been involved in former projects made clear, that different art forms were really appreciated and enjoyed as tools when working on specific topics. Art connects people and is inspiring to work and communicate actively on a joint product in an international setting. Not learning by the book but being creative while coping with important issues will have a lot more (long lasting) impact on youngsters from 14-17 years old. (VWO-level)Improving language skills is another important objective of our project. Our language of communication is English and with all the activities online and through physical exchanges all participants will be challenged to use English, written and spoken. In this intercultural setting ' the need to know ' will boost their language skills, together with their self- confidence in speaking a foreign language.Although the number of mobilities is maximized, we have decided to travel with 4-6 students and 1-2 teachers per country to each exchange meeting. Which means at every meeting around 25 foreign students and 5-10 teachers from abroad will be hosted, so many families will be taking part in the project as well. We do our utmost to increase the number of participants. Not just by raising the amount of mobilities but also through eTwinning activities for all, traveling or not.These activities and results will be put on TwinSpace so they are accessible to all participants (around 800 students and at least 40 teachers in two years). Apart from this number, some partners (Germany and Hungary)will also involve students from a special school (in their communities) for disabled students. These schools will also be involved during the exchange meeting in their town and through eTwinning. All partners will strive to involve pupils with a migration background or refugees in the project.During the two-year project, each country is responsible for the organization of an exchange meeting which will last 6 days including two travel days. Which means three each year, in November, January and March. Apart from the meeting, each country is also responsible for the development of teaching materials prior to the meeting and put them on TwinSpace so all participants can work on them and the whole project community can be in touch, working, comparing and discussing the outcome of these assignments. During the meeting results and experiences will be exchanged with those at home. After the meeting, evaluation and final results can be found on TwinSpace as well. Each country has decided on which specific field of Inclusion it will focus and what art form it will use in the process. Topics which we will work on vary from bullying, gender issues, refugees/immigrants and peers with a mental or physical disability. Art forms range from drama to painting, photography, videoing and sculpturing.Students will learn through workshops, organized by experts about different art forms and use of different media, challenging their creativity and thinking out of the box.With this project students will be involved in a one-year (and maybe for some even in a second year) lasting experience. The continuous interaction between peers from different nationalities and working with pupils with disabilities or those with a migration background or refugees will have a huge impact on our students. We expect to enhance a personal growth for all participants whether it be students, teachers or parents. Through dissemination of the project results, we also hope to create more tolerance, an open-mind and empathy in our wider (school) communities for those who seem different at first.
