Why did you apply for this project? What are the needs you plan to address?

The project aims to respond to two different needs. First of all, the pandemic context has redesigned educational patterns. Arts teachers are facing great challenges, as this subject is particularly in need of face-to-face contact and has lost ground in favour of “more important” subjects, in a period when exam subjects have been the focus of students, teachers, parents etc. Secondly, we will address another problem, that of lack of involvement – lack of students’ involvement in any extracurricular activities, lack of social campaigns, lack of interest in the problems that our societies are facing beyond the Coronavirus which seems to have occupied our entire existence and attention. With these two needs in mind, we have established this partnership which will serve the best interest of both the NGOs involved and also of the schools that are formal partners and those which will be associated partners of the NGOs. Therefore, the project involves 3 NGOs, 3 partner schools and 3 associated partner schools.

Participants

The target groups of the project include NGO members, teachers of Arts and ICT, teachers of Environmental Education and students aged 10-14.  Teachers of Arts, EE and ICT will be the target group of the training event that will be held jointly by PL and ES, at the beginning of the project. They will learn to collaborate in order to teach digital art and will get acquainted with digital art applications and websites, digital resources, teaching methods, teaching content. Students will be the beneficiaries of all the project work, as they learn to create digital art, identify, analyse and report environmental problems in their communities related to the main project topics, create digital materials.
