LET'S ENJOY CULTURE AGAIN

Description

Context2020 is a year with one huge topic all over the world. A topic that has led to many changes in people's lives. The new Coronavirus spread quickly from China to Europe and the rest of the world. Almost 5 million people in Europe are or have been infected. During spring it led to the lockdown of most countries. Borders closed and all of a sudden, society closed as well. Restaurants, cafés, museums, art galleries, sports facilities, schools... The world went online. As teachers we had to get used to virtual classrooms. We saw many students having difficult times adjusting to this new virtual life. Some got very lonely, while others found peace. Today we are facing, what is probably a second wave and some countries are beginning to lock down again. With this project we want to arise awareness of both the difficulties our students have dealt with, but also what makes us stronger. Through creative thinking we want to put transnational cooperation and teamwork in front. We have gathered a team of schools with different profiles from north to south, east to west. Participating countries are: Turkey, Spain, Germany, Norway and Denmark. The project will focus on 5 topics:1) music's influence on young people2) How to live with a pandemic3) Young people's relation to health and wellbeing4) Expressing yourself through painting and art creation5) The future after covid-19Students, participating in this project, are between 15 and 18 years old. During the 2 years, around 800 students and 50 teachers will participate at some point. About 125 students and teachers will participate in Learning/Teaching/Training activities, of which there will be 5. At Transnational Project Meetings, 3-4 teachers are represented from each country at each meeting. It is important for the project that the schools are placed in different areas and are addressed to a large variety of different social layers, because we want our project to be based on diversity.Students are going to work with: Debating, surveys, interviews, blogs/vlogs, filming, writing materials, art work, music, sports activities, presentations and much more. Some activities will be formed along the way.Main objectives:- reinforce cross-sectoral cooperation with experts in the fields of creativity, and cultural awareness.- develop students’ creative thinking, decision making and conflict resolution skills.- enhance greater understanding and responsiveness to social, ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity- increase motivation and satisfaction in daily work- increase cooperation between students in an international scope- foster a willingness among students to include everybody through art and sports- Lifelong learning- create synergies between schools and organisations from other fields- promote a greater sense of European identityMethodologiesThe project will work with different methodologies, depending on the task or activity. Here are some:Learning-by-doing, Cooperative learning, Research, Direct instructions, Game-based learning, Virtual learning and Debating.ResultsOur main result of the project is a documentary by students - to students. The film will be the final product of 2 years’ work. We are following different young people on their thoughts on lockdown and the life after. We will see how they deal with this new situation in their everyday lives and also how they express themselves through creativity. Other results:Project song and music video - we will write lyrics and music for our own song and at one mobility we will produce a music video for it.Project group painting - so students can cooperate across borders and express themselves with colours.Posters and leaflets/postcards on the documentary/projectTrailer of the documentarySurveys on the students’ knowledge/opinion on cultural, creative aspects of art and healthIndividual art to express the reactions to covid-19 Website to upload the resultsProject logo Impact on participantsKnowledge on educational possibilities within creativity, culture and healthKnowledge on different cultures of participating countriesKnowledge on different creative expressions Knowledge on health and wellbeingHands-on skills will be developedDevelop learning skills such as decision making, project management, teamwork and ICTStudents will increase their competences in the English languageStudents will increase their cooperation in an international scope.
