West Est: Sharing Musical Identities Learning Europe

Description

"Music has been the base engine of this project that had its beginning in October 2017 in Formia, Italy, and its conclusion in May 2019, in the same place. With this project, it was intended to create greater awareness of the importance of music, as a unifying element between countries, cultures and forms of socialization. Across Europe, many students listened to and enjoyed the same kind of music, and this can be the first step towards a better understanding and learning of different cultures, religions and ways of living.The project aimed to develop students’ musical intelligence, increase experience, “think outside the box” and find alternative solutions to learn and share knowledge through music. It also had the objective of introducing new techniques,making known good practices and developments in music, as well as reliving the old themes and musical instruments from different countries. Nowadays, music is a transnational language we can use to communicate without stereotypes or barriers.It was with great enthusiasm that ""I.C. Alighieri"", “Agrupamento de Escolas Artur Gonçalves”, ""Gradinita cu program prelungit"", ""Iayse Temizel Ortaokulu"", ""Music School of Tripolis"", ""Zespol Szkol Publicznych nr 5"" embraced this project, which included factors of great importance such as the involvement and enthusiastic participation of students and their families, the possibility of getting in touch with other European schools, the contact with different educational systems, the possibility of comparing and adopting.Each or two transnational project meetings,organized with total success by the host schools, reinforced the development of a distinct interpersonal relationship and cooperation, in order to build a common approach to all the issues elaborated and included in the plan, as well as to respond to all the difficulties encountered during the implementation of the project.The cooperation was based on a partnership between all the schools involved. Teachers and students communicated using portals, forums, instant messaging, video conferencing, etc. All partners presented their skills and competences throughout the project. Some partners shared their experience of working on projects and others shared new ideas and vision.All the activities were carefully prepared for the students and by the students of the participating schools and had as objective to make known the culture, arts/music and specific characteristics of each country.All the work was carried out in order to develop teaching and learning techniques, especially the use of ICT, critical and creative thinking, cooperative behaviour, teamwork, communicative activities, creativity and intercultural integration.Some aspects stand out:- to introduce basic knowledge of musical instruments, melodies, dance of different countries- our students had the opportunity to improve their learning skills with new innovative programs- to become socialized by dancing, singing and playing with others- to promote team work and cooperation in musical activities- to increase creativity while performing- to increase motivation for language learning- EnglishParents, especially those whose children have entered into mobility, have actively collaborated with the school,encouraging their learners to come into contact with different educational systems and cultures.Students who participated in the meetings reported their experience as transformative at various levels. Therefore, they highlighted the contact with realities completely different from their own, as well as the experience of welcoming and being welcomed, and experiencing the departure from their territory of comfort.The team meeting activities, the formal and informal discussions about the project details, and the questionnaires for students and parents were very important as motivational tools for the group.The quality of the students' work and their willingness to collaborate in the proposed tasks were evaluated, in the expectation of involving as many students as possible in the project activities.The impact and dissemination of our project on the school community (students, teachers and parents) was great and unique.The students who had the possibility of directly or indirectly coming into contact with the project were undoubtedly more enriched.At various points in the project, we evaluated the schedule, quality, cost, satisfaction and performance of participants in order to understand the usefulness of the work developed.Having always in mind this: Have the objectives been clearly defined? Who participated? And in which activities?Surveys were carried out to ascertain the opinion of all participants on the course of the project, the degree of achievement of the objectives, the satisfaction obtained with the participation and the results observed.The results of the evaluation were presented and discussed with all partners and taken into account at all times of project life."
