Project Summary

Because of the growing of the unemployment rate and consequent number of disadvantaged families, and of the growing number of foreign families it is stressed the need to make the school a place where to prevent disease, building a confidential and collaborative mood, enhance the students’ resources in order to avoid early school leaving;
In this context we think that our project can meet these needs because it provides also the implementation of creativity, of activities and subjects and of the awareness to be part of the European community, in adition to the innovation of teaching.
This project consists of the cooperation of five countries and it is aimed to realize an Erasmus Plus CHOIR AND ORCHESTRA . All the schools have already an experience of partnerships and most of them already worked together. As a matter of facts, the project was precisely outlined thanks to a previous experience of the partners. 16 students from the partner countries travelled abroad to realize the choir and orchestra concerts. Groups of students of each school were involved in the project without participating actively in the students mobility. There have been around 500 students involved in the partnership.
The partners have chosen the songs and the pupils started to produce materials. These songs were performed in three the international concerts in Poland, Portugal and Italy.The students discussed themes, played the music, researched info about authors, biography, curiosity, music genre, etc. Some of them met their pairs during students’ mobilities and the concerts. Other outcomes and result were a “songbook” , a music vocabulary , an online song dictionary, a virtual music museum, a project calendar. As far as the songbook is concerned, we put in some info of each song, the score and some activities or games related to the songs. The arrangements were done by our music teachers except for the score of the songs played in the concert of Portugal, because in that occasion the Portuguese team provided a band composed by their students, so in the songbook the most part is arranged by our teams and only a short part is taken from the internet ( only regarding the music score). Other teaching materials have been published it is important to underline thet also the competences were implemented like English language, ICT, music and European citizenship ones. We have produced score and arrangementfor all the songs of the concerts, by the music project team. During the pandemic we have found a different way to cooperate and to sing together online through specific software that allowed to edit more videos in an unique one. So we have some multiscreen songs. The last mobility was vitual as so as the last concert that was supposed to be in Czech Republic. We edited 5 songs, were all the partner took part, playing instruments and singing. There was a continuous action of preparation and evaluation of the materials, and the analysis of the results covered all the aspects: process, outcomes, digital competence, language competence and European competence.
The impact on the students was really positive because they implemented also emotional competences and other capabilities concerning life-competences such as supporting cooperation, integration and contribution to mutual respect. Teachers have benefit of the activity because they could innovate their teaching. Also the virtual mobility was an authentic experience made in international context because all the participants had to be in touch and to prepare their tasks, cooperating , playing and singing in distance as if they were together. The students felt to be be part of an educational and inclusive project . All the activities, documents, learning/teaching materials are published in the project website, twinspace, facebook page and Erasmus + Project result platform.
