Project Summary

ERASMUS PROJECT
KA229
September 2019- June 2021
Art Ambassadors
France – Spain – Greece

Partners: Patricia Vera Morales / Marina Betinaki / Solange Ramond / Don Pierre Peraldi

General objectives:
We think that art matters and that students need to be accompanied to discover the world of museums or other cultural places which they often see as foreign, too old, too classic, too lofty, too intellectual. In order to carry out the project we established partnerships with cultural institutions.
We feel we need to take them on a journey through European art and museums so they can discover cultural institutions (how they work) and works of art that will help them get to know their own cultural heritage and build a European culture.
They will learn about the European heritage and will learn to enjoy its culture, how to talk about it through innovative approaches like collaborative learning + group work and new technologies.
They will reinforce their language and communication skills.
The ultimate objective is for students to feel included in the surrounding culture whether they be in museums or part of the heritage. We want students to feel they belong to this culture and this culture belongs to them.

Teachers will discuss the way we will organise all the visits: objectives / assignments / assessment
We make sure we agree on topics such as accommodation, meals, transport etc…

• 2 visits to the Musée du Quai Branly:
• 1 with French students acting as guides + a guided tour with an official guide and creation of a logbook..

Budget
Each country will be allocated its own budget, which means everyone will have to pay for its own expenses (the budget is calculated according to the place of origin and to the place of destination / mobility).
Each visiting country will pay for
• The flight tickets
• Urban transports in the cities visited
• Entrances to museums
• Accommodation and food

Each host country will be in charge of
• Planning visits and transport
• Booking visits to cultural venues
• Finding accommodation and sending accurate information and advice as to where the group can stay. Each team promises to be very active in helping its partners to find the right place and to send information well in advance so booking can be made at the most reasonable price.
• Providing lunch at school or pack meals (paid for by the visiting schools) or addresses where groups can have lunch for a good price
• Providing rooms at school so students can work together

Dissemination

The three partners agree to organise a virtual and physical exhibition in order to display their work and to have their schools benefit from this European project.
Throughout the project we agreed to exchange via new technologies (creation of a Twinspace, an eTwinning group among other implementations).
The targets will be assessed all along the project using different tools such as questionnaires, interviews, grids, meetings and exchanges to make sure we are in the right direction.
