Project Summary

The main idea of the programme “Ceci n’ est pas une ecole, C’est notre ecole!” is that prevention of school dropouts and non-discriminating integration of all students in the school community can be achieved with the development of a positive, creative, welcoming and friendly school environment; an environment which contributes to the equal development of creativity and uniqueness of each student, and the improvement of their self-esteem. The purpose of the programme, as described above, will be implemented with the use of various forms of art and technology. Art belongs to all, pupils, teachers, schools. In front of art all borders disappear and it can show what you really are and what you want to share. Five partners, the Music School of Arta from Greece (co-ordinator), Athenee Royal de Ganshoren from Belgium, Instituto de Educacion Secundaria La Flota from Spain, Istituto Di Istruzione Superiore “Enrico Fermi”from Italy and Agrupamento de Escolas de Nisa from Portugal, will work together on the implementation of a two-year programme .The students involved are 14-17 years of age. All activities realized during the programme derive from five fields; new technologies, drama, visual arts, photography and music. Five learning-teaching-training activities will take place in all partners’ schools and they will include creative-artistic workshops with the above topics covered, presentation of the results of the workshops, presentation of each country’s special features in each of the fields chosen, a joint exhibition of works of art and photography, a joint theatrical performance and a joint music event. The methodology used for the implementation of the activities entails team-working, active participation of every student, creative work, use of new technologies, visiting local authorities. The methodology used for the implementation of the programme entails goal-setting, activity scheduling, constant communication and collaboration among partners and activity evaluation through questionnaires. During the programme, the students are expected to develop communication and collaboration skills, express their creative side, realize the importance of art in the educational process, accept difference, improve their self-esteem, improve foreign language skills and experience a different educational system and a new cultural environment. Moreover, teachers are expected to work together and exchange educational practices and methods. Last but not least, students, teachers, families and local communities will take part in a unique experience and bonds of friendship among participating countries will be strengthened.
