The project entitled “Art & Literature in Education's Nature! Is it an A.Li.E.N.?” is to be implemented by six schools: Turkey,Lithuania,Croatia,Spain,Italy and Greece(school applicant). We are all experienced and full of enthusiasm schools with a serous Etwinning and Erasmus footprint so far. Our school and local communities are looking forward to this project with great interest. Giving children access to all varieties of literature is extremely important for their success. It provides students with opportunities to respond to literature; it gives students appreciation about their own cultural heritage as well as those of others; it helps students develop emotional intelligence and creativity; it nurtures growth and development of the student’s personality and social skills;Developing positive attitudes toward our own culture and the cultures of others we help for both social and personal development.Exposing children to quality literature can contribute to the creation of responsible, successful, and caring individuals. In this way future leaders will be nurtured by developing students' social and emotional skills, communicating internationally in the arts. Arts education on the other hand is often said to be a means of developing critical and creative thinking by developing skills that enhance performance in non-arts academic subjects.Emphasis on both Literature and Arts education can have a positive impact on the three subsets of skills that we define as “skills for innovation”: technical skills; skills in thinking and creativity;behavioural and social skills.It is crucial to empower our young generation to tackle with future challenges and to be competent enough for the future world where they will be leading the society and economy as adults. Our objectives are A) to improve -students competence of Learning to Learn – identifying and leveraging personal strengths and preferences in a way that enables subsequent learning -competence of Multi-literacy -communication competence (meaningfully exchanging ideas with others) make up the rest of these learning tools-cultural competence when students successfully navigate different values, ideals, and traditions interacting and cooperating with others- work and Entrepreneurship competence collaborating and negotiating with others to create new solutions at school and in the broader community- creativity competence- multilingual & digital competencesB) to share, pass on and construct Collective MemoryC) to tackle early school leaving and disadvantageD) to include innovative learning approaches E) to enable cross-curricular collaborationF) to promote the STEAM approach through interdisciplinary teaching with the involvement of all academic disciplines (coordinating school awarded the Label Etwinning school was recently selected as STEM Greek school)to promote inclusive education.A rich variety of activities is planned to take place before, during and after the LTTAs: workshops, logo, poster, even sonnet creations, museum visits, cultural events, tales & legends are to immerge everyone into European linguistic, literature and art background and history. A creative combination of evaluation and dissemination activities, drama and short play presentations, mini films, seminar events, website designing and administrating, storytelling and meet the author (either virtually or metaphorically) sessions, even transforming school walls to “art galleries” will be presented in our S.H.AR.E. ending festival hosted by the project coordinating school in Greece.The methodology to be used is the student centred approach, inquiry based and cooperative learning, tailoring instruction to meet individual student needs (inclusive education methodology). Also the Project-Based and game-based learning with challenging activities, the Museum and gallery pedagogic strategies and the experiential education learning. During public speaking sessions (National oral literature, Art on the walls, My Erasmus story) we focus on integrating intensive experience and skill-building into the fabric of education. This approach to teaching and learning is centered on our belief that education should place equal emphasis on development of character and the intellect.The results and impact of our project envisaged is to be disseminated on regular basis via our website, the Erasmus and Etwinning Platforms. In situ diffusion activities in all countries will highlight the potential impact of our efforts and reinforce longer terms benefits. The A.Li.E.N. project footprint will inspire our school and neighbour school communities and create a school atmosphere with more attractive education and training implementations, in line with nowadays individual needs and expectations. The increased competence in transversal skills (like social, civic, intercultural and language competences, critical thinking, digital skills and media literacy) will be the long lasting benefits of our Project.
