AroUnd the fiRe OveR the wAters - Sharing Arts, Music and Culture for Peace and Inclusion

Description

"""AroUnd the fiRe OveR the wAters - Sharing Arts, Music and Culture for Peace and Inclusion"" acronym AURORA, is a project proposal based on sharing common ideas come from initially two partners - Romania & Italy who based the Twinspace similar project. Quickly, the other three partners from France - the main coordinator, Cyprus & Sweden showed interest for the topic, starting to compare their own organization needs with the new possibilities of international collaboration. Soon it was obvious that all partner schools shared the same requirements of institutional development through a common learning experience that must be directed towards the development of intercultural education, whose values: tolerance, freedom, openness, acceptance of differences, understanding of diversity, pluralism & cooperation, respond to the determinism of the present society, characterized by diversity & change. Likewise, we determined that the problems of our educational communities, such as school failure, the feeling of exclusion, the phenomenon of school drop-out, caused by the phenomena of “ People Mobility”, call for an approach to education through the vision of a world of diversity: cultures, religions, different languages, people with different opinion & ideas. In the wake of the eTwinning further communication & online meetings, our main objective was to develop our schools as institutions that promote an education to all the students of each partner institution & particularly to students aged 10-15, our target group, which takes place in an intercultural perspective in order to prevent & reduce school exclusion & failure, having subordinate aims:Preventing early school leaving by reducing disparities in learning outcomes which affect learners with fewer opportunities: SEN, student with disadvantaged backgrounds & learners with disabilities Combating failure in education by providing informal & non-formal learning.Raising awareness of Europe cultural heritage, using art, music & traditions as means of motivating & hooking up on learningPromoting the social inclusion of pupils by allowing them to open up to other cultures, to make their culture known, by living an unprecedented artistic & cultural experienceReducing acts of violence, incivility & vehicle a peace message within their structures through the virtues of music & the arts in terms of attention, concentration & stress reductionGiving students a serene & ease environmentThe involvement of all participants was substantial from the start, we moved on to dividing the implementation period in four stages of activities ""Partners around oceans and seas"", “The music all around: the rhythm and the sound”, “Let’s become all artists”, Together for peace: Sharing our experience in the field of intercultural dialogue for peace and inclusion beyond the project borders” & ensuring for each of them two organizations to be held responsible for a good & effective management. Also, members of the teams took responsibility for dissemination & exploitation of results, management, partner communication or risks.Innovative & learner- centered pedagogical approaches, innovative activities & teaching methods, acquiring & improving ICT, foreign languages & communicative competence in English as working language of the project will be developed & improved by an international partnership which confers all participants an European perspective which is highly beneficial for each in terms of not only teaching but also management & possibility of future collaborations different areas.The results are a materialized expression of the objectives as we intend to create diverse materials to be used in classes for regular use or in non-formal contexts. They will be posted in the project TwinSpace regularly & the outcome of the project will be a Project Interactive Platform representative of all our common experience, collecting stories & other important cultural items created by our students. What's more, not only will visitors outside the project access our base, they will have the facility of uploading themselves new interesting materials on the topic, enriching & diversifying our final product. There will be conclusions & steps to be taken consequently, we will hopefully be glad to emphasize the change in student attitude & reaction towards the multicultural environment so as they will be able to become young people fit for a dynamic society & labour market.Certainly, most of the project results will be used in other partnerships, national or international, including eTwinning future collaborations. Also, the project knowledge & materials will be used in designing optional courses. Our final product, Project Interactive Platform called ""Around the fire, over the water"", an online collection of stories & Erasmus+ experiences, will be available for improvement by us, sharing & inspiring other people. Finally, we will use this resource for any other Erasmus+ partnership, when suitable."
