Project Summary

Many pupils have skills in the creative sector , which are hardly used or promoted in school life. Unfortunately , it is observed that more and more students have problems with learning languages. Therefore, we have the idea to promote languages through creativity: The pupils will participate during the project at various creative activities which will allow them to deepen playfully the languages.

The project is intended to promote both “basic skills ” and “high skills”. Combing fun with learning (foreign) languages is perceived as one way to prevent early school leaving. In addition, our project is to improve the quality and efficiency of language teaching , so that sustainable results will develop in the schools by long-term improvements. It should be ensured that pupils have an improved chance to find employment in the labor market.

The innovative element in this project is the interdisciplinary approach. It is expected that the creative activities in subjects such as art, music, theater … allow significant progress in the learning and use of the mother and/or foreign languages. The project combines the teaching of languages (grammar, spelling, vocabulary , writing texts, …) with the classes in creative subjects through innovative activities.

Each partner school has selected a topic:

1) Dance (Vzw Wico Campus Sint-Hubertus)

2) Poetry and music (Valkenswaard)

3) Comics (Städt. Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliches Gymnasium Mönchengladbach)

4) Musical ( théâtre musical) (Institution Notre Dame des Anges )

5) Photography (Gymnázium Šternberk)

6 ) Singing and music ( Lycée classique de Diekirch )

In principle it is possible to students of all grades , except the final school classes to participate in the project. Each partner school proposes certain grades for their activities and meetings organised by them. Each partner school has also the possibility to introduce Erasmus+-classes or optional Erasmus+subject .

The project will be run mainly by teachers from creative subjects such as art , music, multimedia …. as well as the language teachers (parent or foreign languages).
