"CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT The Coordinator school works in the outskirts of Palermo, in a socially and economically disadvantaged district, where the risk of the school dropout and the problem of the early school leaving are remarkable. So, the project was mainly conceived in order to reduce the rate of school dropouts and, although the methods and the tools to face them have been very different, all the partners worked in a homogeneous way. The project "" ARS Antiquité, Recherche, Sauvegarde "" was based on the experience gained by our school on the thematic of Cataloguing of the archaeological, architectural heritage and works of art, as matter of fact, in the past, in collaboration with the association ""Castle of Maredolce"" and the Touristic Guides of the Province of Palermo, an accord was undersigned with a group of schools of the territory to realize the didactic project ""At school of Cataloguing."" Furthermore, later on, the same theme had been treated in the ""Visit of study n. 215"", a transversal action of the program LLP, addressed to managers and inspectors coming from different European countries with great success.TARGETSThe whole practices related to the cataloguing and thanks to the observation in presence of the artistic, architectural heritage of the other countries, allowed to requalify the scholastic institutions, to train the staff, to carry out the research and to put into practice new teaching-learning “formal - informal - not formal” methodologies. On the occasion of the first C1 mobility in Italy, all the participant teachers were trained to the cataloguing and the compilation of the relative cards. All the mobilities allowed to strengthen the active citizenship, to enhance the study and the learning of the foreign languages for pupils and teachers, to experience the cultural exchange among countries, to share good practices and innovative experiences, both human and didactic ones.PARTECIPANTS - ITALY, ICS Maredolce: nursey, primary and secondary school- FRANCE, Association Ecole Jeanne d'Arc: primary school- POLAND, Publiczne GimnazjumSPSK: secondary school- TURCKEY, Ahmet Altikulac Anadolu Lisesi: high school- ROMANIA, Liceul Teoretic Constantin Brancoveanu: high school- SPAIN, IES Andrés Bello: secondary schoolThe project involved teachers of all the disciplines: experts in foreign languages, teachers of Art, Sciences, Technology, architects, archaeologists, geologists, experts in Fine Arts, in restoring architectural and artistic heritages and experts in cultural heritages cataloguing, in methodologies of evaluation and environmental impact etc.ACTIVITIES
