The ArtsTogether project Integrating migrant children at schools through artistic expression, that is funded with the support of the Directorate General Migration and Home Affairs – AMIF of the European Comission, aims to promote the teaching of art in order to foster inclusion and integration of migrants children at school.
The ArtsTogether project aims at developing and testing a curriculum based on artistic activities and collaborative approaches that will be used in order to equip teachers for dealing with diversity, fostering mutual understanding and respect among their students and improve the educational performance of migrant students. The activities will have direct beneficiaries, children of migrant background which will create a collaborative space with native children and will overcome linguistic and cultural barriers. The action will be mainstreamed by organizing events with educational organisation and public authorities providing policy recommendations at educational and schooling level.
The kick-off meeting of the consortium of the Project will take place at Four Elements in Athens, Greece on 10-11/01/2018.
