Description
CAREM is a Comenius Multilateral Project aiming at developing and disseminating good practices of teaching based on the Collaborative art-making method in order to foster intercultural education, reduce social marginalization and promote European Citizenship in the school contexts.
The project provides for the development and trial of developing and testing educational activities, pedagogical materials and strategies based on making art in a participative and collaborative way. The activities developed during the project will be tested and adapted in each partner country, with the collaboration of students and teachers of primary and lower secondary schools that will be actively involved in the project. In the framework of the project, training for teachers will be arranged, and some support material will be also provided to try out the new tools learnt during the training.
