Six countries are involved in our project TEACH: The European Art Chain. Each country is experienced in international projects and has profound expertise in specific art disciplines. Finland: music/dance/media, Spain: painting/cinema, Germany: music, The Netherlands: design/sculpture, Italy: theatre/archtecture, Latvia: folk music and dance. Artistic expression often has its origins in admiration of an existing masterpiece of a different art form. So Michelangelo paints his "Giudizio universale" thinking of Dante's "Inferno", the novel "Girl with the Pearl Earring" starts from a famous Vermeer painting, Ravel and Débussy composed music taking their inspirations from Impressionists' paintings. A film can move from a free interpretation of a novel, a novel from a painting, a painting from a poem, a poem from the views of a city, in a sequence that is maybe never-ending. In our work we would like to emphasize that continuous exchange of materials, narrations, suggestions is part of the play of the never-ending creation, from art to art. We want to involve European students in "creative transitions" through the disciplinary realms of literature, architecture, sculpture, cinema, music, theatre, photography. In this project, from September 2015 to August 31 2017 we will explore how art can work as a tool for international language and understanding, both in a historical and environmental way. Art group activities, to be implemented in a European context, will be able to effectively synthesize many competences (communication in foreign languages, digital competence, learning to learn, interpersonal and intercultural competence, sense of initiative, cultural awareness and expression). During the two years of the project an average of 40 students (per year/per country) are involved in the project. Either at home, at an exchange meeting or both. Students work at home as well as during the exchange meetings on the different assignments. At home students do research (f.e. do research in your own country on design in 20th century/folk music and dance/film genres) on the topic for the next exchange meeting. While at the meeting, the assignments are more into the transition of different disciplines.Teachers will monitor the activities but students take initiative, devide tasks. Using the PDCA method (plan-do-check-act), the group of teachers, through a practice of action-research, will work together having as their main aim the continuous improvement of the learning process, which is considered very important. Each group will have to prepare a presentation on the process and the result of their work for a large audiance. Students are free to choose how they want to present their product. During the project different groups within the community will be integrated in the project. (primary school, home for the elderly, people with Down-syndrom) Taking part in an international project influences the student' s life in different ways: from choosing for an international study, increased language skills, improved understanding of different cultures and more open minded towards people to developing cooperative skills and taking initiative and doing research. But at the same time parents' ideas on European citizenship. As for the teachers, we expect an impact of great importance.The experimental use of innovative methods of teaching / learning and the employ of action-research in the teaching practice, in a context of activities based on Art, are aimed at the design of a new profile for the teaching profession.Teachers, as well as students, will face then the activities included in the TEACH project in order to acquire new skills, hone new methods, internalize new operating processes. The experience gained during TEACH project will allow the involved teachers to act like "baker's yeast", key-persons, multipliers in the process of disseminating and transferring methods and practices within the educational contexts of each partner-school. Cooperation with foreign teachers will diminish prejudices. They will experience a multi national event and the differences in teaching methods. It will encourage teachers to look from a wider perspective. Teachers can exchange didactical approaches, increase their personnel development of educational skills, but also exchange f.e. problems in education in a specific country (financial problems, amount of drop-outs, ICT problems, minority groups, broken families).It will make teachers/staff aware of the necessity that we have to implement national projects in our curriculum, as it is our duty to prepare our students for a life in an international context. At school we can develop their international sense and scope. Materials/products/reports will be uploaded on the E+ DP, so that they will be available for other people, eager to work on the same or similar themes and applying the proposed methodology. Participating schools will use their website to show work done during the project.
