EduArt
Education meets Arts in Partnerships for Creativity
Year: 2021 – 2023 – Program: Erasmus+
For who is the course?
This course is designed for all those who want to approach issues such as civic engagement, inclusion, effective communication, stereotypes and prejudices, innovation, creativity, conflict management and all those situations that can be created when organizing an initiative in their city.
How to start the course?
The course is completely free and online. It is sufficient to register on the e-learning platform and then access it freely whenever you want with your credentials. The course does not have a time limit to be carried out, but it is necessary to complete all the units to obtain the final certification.
EduArt wants to enhance the communicative and social competences of people in their neighbourhood and thus strengthen social cohesion. At the same time, it promotes educational skills necessary for working with heterogeneous target groups and the use of digital media.
Creativity and art are the chosen means to encourage the locals to come and learn together. In four EU countries, our partners form tandems of educators and creative artists. Together with local residents, they develop pilot courses using artistic forms of expression such as acting, puppet theatre and painting.
To this end, EduArt refers to the most visible symbol of the Corona pandemic: the mask. The themes of mask and masquerade are the golden thread running through all learning activities. The key outcome of EduArt will be an EU-wide adaptable model for adult education using cultural and artistic means as well as taking account of the social environment and resource availability.
EduArt demonstrates how non-formal education can contribute to coping with societal challenges and how it can enhance quality, innovation and future-orientation of adult education throughout the EU.
