Project Summary

On the occasion of the 2018 European Year of Cultural Heritage, actors from three territories renowned for their Baroque legacy met in Sospel for three days to build the DIA.PA.SON project (Dialogues and Artistic Learnings Sospel, Oberwöltz, Noto/Baroque).
Their objective: to put artistic and cultural education at the centre of the training and empowerment of individuals and citizens by developing their sensitivity, creativity and critical thinking. This project offers to educate through ART and to appropriate Baroque in all forms and languages. It aims to promote the social and educative value of the European tangible and intangible cultural heritage as a “central element of cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue” (PEAC – Cultural and Artistic Education Programme).
Through this project, partner town councils and schools hope to strengthen students’ and adults’ abilities related to the concept of MOBILITY (as illustrated by our choice of priorities):
– Travelling through time: Art History;
– Travelling through space: through mobility, including physical travel to arouse our students’ habits and interests, and exchanges, to “develop the participants’ knowledge in contact with a broad and diversified audience”;
– Travelling away from the self, “focusing on the bigger picture”; developing skills that will impact our student’s self-confidence to reduce early school leaving, as shown by the recent international studies on the subject;
– Finally, “travelling without moving”: opening digital horizons to meet the European Parliament’s goal of encouraging “European citizens to discover and explore their heritage to strengthen their sense of belonging to a common European space”.
Our project seeks to be a lever to make local culture into a growth and mobility factor for young people. The actions envisaged by the actors aim to reach a family audience, to expand all participants’ knowledge and to fight early school leaving, favouring goodwill through heritage (including architectural, tangible and intangible, living, cinematic and natural heritages and more) and culture.
Thus, we want to make the appropriation of local heritage a positive lever to promote transmission, exchange, European citizenship and language learning: a journey from the past to the future (referring to the 1975 European Council: “A Future for Our Past”).
3 adult mobilities and 3 student mobilities are planned.
Participants: town council cultural departments, teachers, educational advisers, primary and secondary school headmasters, school inspectors and pupils.
These mobilities target two of the Erasmus Programme’s main objectives:
– to reinforce young people’s qualifications and skills as well as their active citizenship;
– to encourage adults to develop new abilities, methods and tools: appreciation, empowerment, knowledge and know-how.
The three first mobilities will be joint training events organised to plan the student mobilities. Each mobility will include a major event: Oberwölz’s Christmas Market, crafts and concerts, Noto’s Infiorata and Sospel’s Festidance.
Tangible and intangible Baroque dialogues: music in Oberwölz, crafts and singing in Noto, “traditional dancing” in Sospel.
Furthermore, each mobility will include a training activity: visit of the ECML in Graz, Art History course in Noto, “traditional dancing” course in Sospel.
The mobilities will be planned during the Transnationals and the host team of each mobility will propose a security plan.
The methodology we will rely on will allow us to respect the established timetable and the production of defined activities. The project will be managed on eTwinning and using a logbook and e-mails. During the Transnationals, the pilot teams will write “mid-term reports” and one “final report” using the Mobility tool and the sample documents available.
Expected results are:
– PRODUCTIONS: materials (PEAC, video tutorials, Baroque music and song repertoires with educational brochures), events (Erasmus Days, Festidanses, Infiorata, etc.);
– ACHIEVEMENTS: organising training sessions and improving the participants’ skills and ability to use platforms.
The diffusion and exploitation of these results will be the central focus of a strategy implemented by all partners (at local, regional, national and European levels). It will guarantee the activities’ sustainable impact in the years to come. As one of its goals is town twinning, the DIA-PA-SON project has an inherent long-term vision to allow the Cultural and Artistic Baroque Dialogues initiated between Oberwöltz, Noto and Sospel to continue…
