Innovation through Creative Arts
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2018 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

In too many projects based on creative arts specialists go into schools, carry out a body of work and then leave without any permanent changes to the curriculum nor the up-skilling of teachers and development of teacher competences. This project aims to provide participating schools with the training and support needed to effect changes to curriculum delivery.We intend to put young people at the heart of this project giving them the opportunity to work with teachers and contributing to the success of the outputs. Participating teachers will receive comprehensive training on how they can embed creativity across the curriculum and how by improving their own skills in delivering creativity they can raise standards across all subjects but especially in literacy, numeracy and digital competences. As part of our dissemination and sustainability plans we will train participating teachers to coach others in order to embed creativity across the curriculum in their own setting but also teachers from a wider group of schools, locally, nationally and internationally. Creative Arts (overarching description of any activity such as drama, music, graphic arts, performing arts, film, visual arts etc.) is increasingly being recognized as an effective tool for working with young people and to give them a means to express themselves openly. Creative Arts is an effective tool to empower all students including those with behavioural or mental health problems through creativity. It is a form of expression that improves and enhances physical and emotional wellbeing through reconciling emotional conflicts and fostering self awareness. In today's society the perception of the success is parallel to academic success.We will include young people from a wide range of ability and socio-economic background. This projects meets the European Prog. objectives of promoting equity and inclusion by facilitating access to education for learners from a range of ability and those from disadvantaged backgrounds and fewer opportunities compared to their peers.Some participating pupils are disadvantaged because of:-disability. That is participants with special needs people with mental, physical, sensory or other disabilities-educational difficulties. This includes young people with learning difficulties, at risk of early school-leaving, low qualification and/or poor school performance- socio-economic disadvantage. To include young people with a low standards of living, low family income, dependence on social welfare etc.The pupils will take part in a series of activities throughout the project allowing them the opportunity to express themselves through creativity and to identify skills that they believe make a creative teacher. Through social media and eTwinning pupils will work with pupils in the partner regions to share ideas and creative projects prior to exhibition during the multiplier events. They will be given the opportunity to present their ideas and those of their peers overseas to teachers from other schools, families and the wider community. All participating schools will work with families and the wider community to develop family engagement activities. We know that achievement amongst school pupils is directly impacted upon in families where parents do not see the value of education, this can be for many reasons. Parents may themselves have experienced low achievement in school, many may not have attended school. This can be improved by the engagement of families in their children's learning and creative arts are a non-threatening way for families to get involved whilst developing their own literacy, numeracy and digital competences.
