Few words about the project
IncludeArt (2022-1-ES01-KA220-SCH-000088779) is a two-year project that started in November 2022, and it’s funded by Erasmus+. The project aims to support students and teachers by finding more creative ways to teach and by developing more digital skills by using new creative tools. The project aims to support teachers, school leaders and others in the reaching fields to develop more creative and digital skills by using new creative tools such as web radio. The project activities are about social inclusion that focuses on religion, disability, age, sexual orientation, race, and ethnic origins as the main reasons for discrimination. Teachers have the task to build trust with their students and to help build trust among the students in the classroom. The project wants to improve the skills of teachers in the field of inclusion through an innovative methodology, based on the history of music & arts, highlighting integration and success stories of famous (and local) artists from disadvantaged groups. Schools participating in the project will be equipped with web radio + training in radio broadcasting to reinforce creative activities and promote social inclusion of students through creativity and the arts. Through this, teachers will increase their performances at work, and their professional skills and competencies will be improved.
