Project Summary

The Creative City Net designed by the UNESCO claims to have cooperation bridges between the cities which are charactericed for giving value to the creativity as an agent of sustainable development.Dénia (Spain), Bergen (Norway), Parma (Italy) and Ostersund (Sweden) are considered as Creative Cities of Gastronomy, recognised by the UNESCO. From this starting point we develop this inclusive project with the main aim of improving the students basic skills. Taking always in consideration the development of healthy lifestyle habits asociated to an equilibrate and good nutrition. Taking profit, at the same time of the singularity that our cities offers. We do it with an open, participative and multidisciplary methodology and having the inclusivity as the main goal.The schools which participate in this project are: The Public School Pou de la Muntanya (Dénia), The Kaland Skole (Bergen), The Istituto Comprensivo Giacomo Ferrari (Parma) and The Lugnviksskolan (Östersund). All of them are ublic Schools. The four schools have got the same objectives: Enriching the mathematical skills and the linguistic competence of our students. Adopting inclusive, open and multidisciplinary methodologies in our classes. Developing inside the school contexts, programmes and protocoles that promote healthy lifestyle habits and an equilibrate nutrition. Creating and incorporating creative and open activities on our teachers year plannings. Enriching the educational quality of our school centers through the interchange of experiences among our teachers. Promoting the usage of new technologies (TIC). Our project activities are divided in four diferent thematic fields: Our cities (Our cities- Let’s visit). Where we know deeply the four creative cities and their singularities. Our diets (Our diets- Let’s cook). Where we study the Mediterranean diet and the New Nordic Diet. Healthy habits. (Healthy habits- Let’s move). Where we work and promote the healthy habits among our students always related with the Physical Education and Sport. Art and Cooking (Art and cooking- Let’s create). We know the relation between Art and cooking and we study relevant artistic pictures with a gastronomic theme. All of these activities are complemented by the students movility and the teachers interchange of experiences. All this work and experience enrich the quality of our education and strength the relationship between the european countries. The results that we claim to achieve are, in the firt place, the improvement of the students basic skills thanks to its aplication to the new technologies inside the class, more inclusives, and with a high component of the ICT. At the same time, we publish a didactic booklet with some of the activites done in each section with QR codes to extend all the information, always with the reference of the work done by the students. And we record videos introducing each city and talking about the lifestyles of each country. This project have a big impact thanks to its attractive thematic, the good nutrition, heathy habits and increased by the importance of the UNESCO creative cities. We pretend to make a qualitative educational step in the four schools. Also the four Educational Communities and the four cities will take benfit of this project.
