Project Summary

United In Diversity

At the elementary school in the town of Allerheiligen im Mürztal (Austria), the majority of all students with a migration background originate from Romania.
At the Scoala Ginmanziala no.1 Tileagd (Romania), children from three ethnic groups have lessons in three different languages.

The aim of this project is to strengthen their self-worth and awareness that the cultural variety in Europe is conceived as an enormous benefit and opportunity.
At the participating schools, a total of 721 students are educated.
20 of these kids as well as 8 teachers will visit the partner schools.
The other students and teachers get the opportunity to contribute in a joint artistic project.
The following activities will be implemented: Job shadowing and exchange meeting, student exchange with joint preparations for a performance at a public cultural event, documentation in the form of a music video as well as shared concept development and production.
After a planning meeting, artistic contributions will be prepared in the partner schools (songs, dances). The contributions will be coordinated shortly before the public performance. In addition, a joint intercultural highlight of this event will be elaborated. The accumulated photo and video material will be used for making a music video.

We expect increased interest in Europe’s cultural variety, greater acceptance of different forms of expression of different cultural identities and augmented appreciation of people’s own cultural origins.
In the long term, the partnerships of these two schools as well as other schools across Europe will continue to open the doors to our classrooms, widen our perspectives and make intercultural learning a hands-on reality.
