Project Summary

This project aimed at interconnecting schools and pupils so that, during those 3 years, they could learn to work together while learning about other cultures, through direct contact, and their take on the idea of poster art. During those 3 years several activities made the teachers and students taking part in the project became observers and contributors to the chosen subject matter.
The project started in September 2015, when each school presented the project and chose the teams that will be directly involved. The teachers met in Austria so that they can present their take on the project. The first meeting was a presentation of the partners to introduce their schools, educational systems and cities. Detailing the first year programme, integration of the project into the curricula
Each year, before every mobilization, a research on the country to be visited, including information and pictures, was displayed on the Erasmus+ corner in each school. After each mobilization the mobility was evaluated later internationally ( by all partners with a questionnaire prepared by the hosting country) and locally ( each school integrated project activities and objectives into its school curriculum, displayed it on the Erasmus+ corner in each school and published it on the projects’ website). After each mobility, the application and evaluation of students’ questionnaires on the matter was done. Result reports and graphics were uploaded to the websites. Skype meetings, chats and emails were periodically in order to ease communication between coordinating teachers, so that they can decide on further subjects to tackle through the project. An e-magazine was made by students and teachers, reflecting the activities of the project after the first years. Project team and management staff at schools locally and with the coordinator teachers via skype meeting and email internationally, has done each year evaluation.
The students developed artistic skills, through learning new techniques and direct contact with different cultures and approached towards art. They made experiment with grafitti, screen printing, woodcutting and enjoyed new forms of expression.
Working on big surfaces and in an international team required our students to work cooperatively and improved their teamwork abilities and social skills.The integrative effect of art has been contributed to a better understanding of cultures.
We aimed at an active participation of all students in the project via surveys, questionnaires, twin-space tasks, competitions, searching activities, painting activities, street art exhibitions, mind maps and discussions. We wanted to help our teachers to exchange pedagogical methods with European colleagues. Facebook discussions, mobilities and online lessons encouraged them to follow technological developments and innovations in the educational field.
We intended to improve the use of a foreign language.
There were 8 countries in the project: Austria, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Macedonia, Romania and Portugal in cooperation with B&H and Ghana.
Final product:
ART TOWN – open exhibition (+video presentation/media coverage) with all results of “Creativity can move mountains!” competition conducted internationally.
The POSTER ART AWARD 2018 and the exhibition in the art gallery “Rathausgalerie” was the main art event at the end of the project. It was and it is still a summary of the best poster art ideas during the project time.
