Our project aims to develop students' attitude towards art, their observation of it, creativity and the use of ICT for creating artworks. The students are aged from 6 to 12. There will be a strong co-operation with national artists and galleries in all involved countries to present and guide young students into the world of art at national and international levels. Project is also environment oriented and involves many other school subjects to produce materials on the topics. So topics coverage will involve cross-curricula links, incorporating different school subjects with the stress on the use of  ICT.

We plan to involve different school subjects while doing project activities such as art and crafts, music, history, civics, mother tongue and English language, maths, physics, biology and geography. There will be also a strong stress on environmental education and new technologies of course. 

Project covers a wide range of  thematic areas or topics from cultural heritage, history, music and literature to environment communication,  interculturalism and raising pupil achivements and quality of education.

The overall aim of the project is to help children (including those with special needs) to acquire knowledge of their local and partners’ artists, nature, towns and countries.

They will achieve certain skills through interacting in simple tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar matters, using different techniques for creating art including ICT, exchanging it interactively with peer students abroad.

So they will learn to draw, organize work and use different devices (camera, Computer, Internet, printer, scanner…). So they will cooperate, work in groups, exchange ideas and materials. All work produced during the project will be published in the special project website.

What are COMENIUS projects in short

COMENIUS  focuses on education, from pre-school and primary to secondary school, and it is addressed to all members of the education community in the broad sense – pupils, teachers, other education staff, and also local authorities, parents, non-government organisations ...

COMENIUS supports school partnerships, projects for the training of school education staff, and school education networks. It thus aims to enhance the quality of teaching, strengthen its European dimension and promote language learning and mobility.

Who was
Johann Amos Comenius (J.A. Komenský)?  

COMENIUS also emphasises certain important issues: learning in a multi-cultural framework, which is the cornerstone of European citizenship, support for disadvantaged groups, countering under-achievement at school and preventing exclusion.

He was born in what is today the Czech Republic. He was a theologian, philosopher and pedagogue who believed that only through education man could achieve his full potential and lead a truly harmonious life.

He was one of the founding fathers of modern education, but, having lived through the period of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), Comenius was also a cosmopolitan who strove for human rights, peace between the nations, social peace and the unity of mankind.
