Motivating and empowering generations through art and sport

Topic(s) addressed

The primary focus of this project was motivating and empowering stakeholders in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis. Developed areas focused on enhancing diversity and inclusion in school education promoting a comprehensive approach towards language learning as well as using art and sport to foster common values, civic engagement and active participation. 

Target group(s)

In order to increase the professional competence of teachers, nine teachers were involved in the project.

Methodologies

This Erasmus+ project brought people together to collaborate and learn effectively through sports and art. Each school ensured the establishment of an Erasmus+ panel to carry out active work. 

The project focused on achieving new learning experiences and improving intercultural communication by combining sports and arts to increase student motivation.

Innovation environment

Each school organised art exhibitions dedicated to the actions people can take to fight against climate change, and it raised students’ awareness about the subject.

Teachers’ role

Teachers carried out the role of integrating other schools’ artistic and sporting activities in their own institutions. The project allowed teachers and students to design a pedagogy for learning that reflects the values of cultural and social inclusion through sport and art.

Impact and output

At local and regional levels, the project was disseminated through the press and other media, with many people spreading awareness through communities via word of mouth. The project was also developed on the eTwinning platform, where experiences could be shared throughout the process. Workshops involving artistic, sports and cultural activities were held at each of the partner schools across five days. 

The project, which finished in Belgium with its final exhibition, had a wide impact with the participation of regional citizens, parents, teachers and students.
