The core purpose of Artists in Creative Education is to create a
transnational guide for artists to work in primary schools, with a
particular emphasis upon developing the skills and understanding
necessary to work creatively in schools in disadvantaged areas. The
guide will help to:
- Develop a shared and greater awareness of the creative
approaches to education across all European countries exploring
individual and collective language, understanding and practice.
- Establish collaborative transnational partnerships.
- Provide professional development for the artists who take part in the project and those who read it.
- Successfully plan and implement a creative learning exchange
programme which will result in significant benefits to children and
young people.
- Deliver a collaborative learning exchange programme between
artist practitioners and schools with children at the centre leading to
greater European co-operation.
- Deliver a practical programme where children, young people and
teachers will benefit from the creative work and European connections.
- Lay the foundations for facilitating the transnational movement of labour.
