Artit

Object:

 ARTiT is a Grundtvig project aiming to provide adult educators with the necessary skills, for the development of innovative training modules which will support adult learners' creativity and critical thinking through the observation of artworks. The need for this project arises from the fact that methods which develop creativity in the field of adult education are not widely spread across Europe even though the European policies consider these competences to be fundamental for citizens in order to manage change and adapt to new social and economical conditions.
  More specifically the ARTiT project aims to:
  • elaborate an integrated methodology based on art learning, which can be used in various environments of adult education
  • identify adult trainers' attitudes and practices, concerning art based training in all participating countries
  • develop and evaluate a pilot training program for adult educators on art based learning
  • provoke a qualitative change in adult trainer's practices, by promoting their creativity and developing their sensitivity concerning the method of systematic observation of art
  • enhance the trainers' knowledge, skills and competences in using this method when designing, developing and evaluating their modules

In order to meet the objectives of the project, an overview of existing practices, approaches and attitudes will be analyzed, followed by the development of a pilot educational proposal. The projects outcomes will be elaborated in order to develop an integrated training kit addressed to adult educationalists across Europe, for the development of adult learner's creativity through Art Based Learning.

DELAC“Discovering Europe through Language and Culture using ICT”

Institutions involved:

 Cyprus, Denmark Estonia, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain

The Goal of our Learning Partnership

 “Discovering Europe through Language and Culture using ICT” is to develop new ways/tools to help adult learners achieve the intercultural competences, which are needed in fast-changing society - to adapt to the requirements the European Labour Market and the requirements for the individual person living in a globalized world with diversity and complexity. This includes flexibility and mobility and having the knowledge about travelling, different viewpoints and customs in different cultures as well as a common second language.

Core objectives:

 The main idea of this project is using the basic skills of ICT parallel with English language learning in order to integrate these useful actions and experiences in the everyday learning environment adult learning in all participating countries local as well as regional teaching and learning basic ICT in English is just one of the few steps in our common project. Developing creative and innovative skills as flexibility and mobility using both common web environments for the learners to comment the same piece of art will lead to the sense on toleration and understanding between different cultures, which are the basics for communicating with different countries and to meet theses partners. By participating in the contact seminar in Cyprus we have experienced how much easier it is to keep up the motivation and enthusiasm when you have met your partner face to face. Knowing the partners you continue the communication which you have started - developing consciousness about similarities and differences, achieving a real understanding between different European cultures. Therefore the project includes physicalmeetings face to face as well as “meetings”, communication and cooperation using ICT.

Outputs – results/products:

 One of the results will be a common web page, which will stay reachable to adult education providing institutions after the project is finished. This web page will be equipped with different essays, collages, and number different learning materials as well as rectified introductions about each participating country and its culture. In result of these actions the English language is strengthened as well as the knowledge of using ICT. Knowing the partners you continue the communication which you have started – developing consciousness about similarities and differences, achieving a real understanding between different European cultures. Through the combination of action and reflection it empowers students to take responsibility for their own learning. To qualify the process of reflection there will be cooperation with a group of evaluators from teachers’ education in Cyprus and officials from Portugal. The results and process will be disseminated in leaflet, CD and web based.
