Project Summary

ART FOR COEXISTENCE has been a 30-month project, made up of 15 partners from 6 countries (MOVETIA additionally financed the participation of 6 Swiss entities). We have detected keys and successful actions in the European educational field, we have disseminated them and apply them in other settings, responding to the reduction of school absenteeism, addressing disadvantageous situations with minors and their families, improving the skills of educational professionals.
Art is an important resource in working with school children in marginal areas and at risk of exclusion. We have included an integrated gender approach.
