Project Summary

The initial idea was the fulfillment during 24 months of the 4 phases of the project in each associated center. All the phases have materialized in the different school centers at different rates, that is to say, not all the didactic workshops coincided at the time of their execution, however, all of them were carried out before the premiere of the theater-musical show in the language native.We proposed dates for the premieres of the shows in the training exchanges during each May of the two years of the project, but the German partners did it before for pedagogical and organizational reasons celebrating it in the month of March.In relation to the first phase on the creation of the script of the theater-musical show, there were discrepancies about the content and duration of the performance organizational issues, material resources, use of the stage space..The last phase of the project on the fusion of the show in the learning-teaching-formation meetings was excellent and very satisfactory for all the participants, since we carried out all the activities programmed by the coordinators of these meetings (Germany and France).As we expressed two years ago, the objectives pursued to motivate students towards their school responsibility are detailed at the level of results:1.The reduction of truancy has not been very significant, since once the project is finished, the percentage has not changed much in relation to the project beginning.2.The use of intuitive and deductive methodology has served to develop a different aspect of the project with positive results in achieving the objectives.3.The involvement of the educational community has been impressive, since we have been able to involve our parents, teachers and students in the project development.4.Our project has been constantly self-evaluated.5.The dissemination section has been a fundamental pillar in the duration of the project, as all the partners agree on the importance of this section, performing activities such as theatrical contests, lectures, .., which will be specified in detail in the dissemination section of the Erasmus Final Report.The number of centers associated with the coordinator has been five schools.Regarding the profile of the participating organizations, all the schools have carried out an arduous and effective on the involvement of the educational community in the project, a key and fundamental pillar for its realization.The participation of fathers and mothers, the involvement of teachers in the assembly of the show in each associated center, the coordination and participation in the teaching workshops, the organization of body expression in the nature workshops have been a success.To make a summary of the activities carried out during the project, we will follow the order of the 4 phases of their implementation.1st Phase:We completed the two transnational teachers meetings designed, where we discussed and expressed the development of the project in sections such as dissemination, activities, evaluation … We created the scripts of each show to be performed in the training meetings.2ndPhase: The didactic workshops and the two body expression in nature workshops were elaborated and developed satisfactorily. They were made before the premiere of the show in each associated center in the native language and of before the two training meetings in Germany and France.3rd Phase: The premieres of the shows were carried out in each associated center in their mother tongue. The only difference in this phase was that some schools did it on dates different from the one indicated in the project for pedagogical and organizational reasons.4th Phase: The two training sessions were held both in Germany in March 2017 and in France in May 2018. The three differentiated parts were developed in each meeting, so that the body expression in the nature workshops were held in the nature during the first three days, five days for the fusion of the didactic workshops and premiere of the show in English language and one day for cultural and social activities.In relation to the results of the different sections of the project, the following aspects of the final report will be meticulously detailed, which, in summary, have been relevant for the educational community. And in relation to the impact achieved in the different associated centers, it is necessary to add the consolidation of the human and social values developed during the project in our students. And the consolidation and sustainability of the theater as a parallel and extracurricular activity in the associated centers as a training complement for our students.We hope that the following objectives will be achieved:
– Reduction of truancy by motivating our students with stage and theatrical activities.Interest and motivation for learning a second language.Social values will be strengthened in our students.Interest for learning a second language.
