Description

All primary schools involved in the project “Together in music and art deal with the cultural heritage from music and art of their country. A mutual exchange is made by exhibitions with originals and the exchange and use of video/DVD and internet. The children learn about music works and facts about the lives of famous composers from their country. In concerts they introduce pieces of music and songs to their foreign partners and interested public. Furthermore the children learn about local painters and their works and they make themselves pictures with corresponding techniques which they present in exhibitions. This exhibition can be seen virtual by the public on the common website of the project team. The teachers´, pupils´ and parents´ appreciation of the different cultural traditions will develop further by these common exhibitions, videos/DVDs, the exchange of pupil’s work to the local artists and the discussion with works of art and the painters from other countries. Sittings in on classes during the project meeting and common thematic teacher’s meetings shall give the educationalist an insight into the educational systems of the countries involved. The communication between the pupils and teachers shall be promoted by e-mail, video conferences etc.
