\nArt for hearts sake <\/a>\n

This a 3 year project involving 6 schools from across Europe, to use the creative arts to positively impact schools\u2019 ability to meet the needs of diverse groups. \u200b<\/p>\n

The project objectives are to promote inclusion and diversity and enhance key competences. These will be achieved through participation in creative arts. The project will particularly support disadvantaged and marginalised participants and those who suffer from poor mental health. It will promote creativity and its benefits, in all our organisations. \u200b<\/p>\n

The activities will be an exploration of individual countries\u2019 cultural arts heritage, plus a collaboration to create a fusion of this knowledge into innovative arts resources: a playscript, dances, musical pieces, costumes, scenery, artworks, digital media and performance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"20240323_100454\"\n

\n\t\tShared Voices – connecting communities in the digital age<\/strong>\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

Recent Project: Shared Voices \u2013 connecting communities in the digital age<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our last project began in September 2020 and ended in August 2022. However, the journal aspect of the project is set to continue until January 2024. It was a project connecting schools from Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain, with our school here in Sherborne. The project involved children researching and writing articles for an online journal called, \u2018Journal-Us\u2019. The journal features articles from all the partnership schools and alongside becoming journalists, pupils also worked together on community projects to enhance the local environment or to help their communities in some way. The project was designed before Covid-19 took hold, however, it was recognised that there might be a need to work online and the journal was seen as a way to make this possibe. Therefore the majority of the project\u2019s aims have thankfully been achievable due to the nature of the project design.<\/p>\n

The journal and information about the schools involved, can be found here through this link.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tPast Projects<\/strong>\n\t<\/h3>\n\t

\"\"<\/p>\n

From September 2018 until December 2020, children took part in an Erasmus+ Project titled: Sharing our Past; Shaping our Future.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Working alongside children from schools in Croatia, Finland, Poland, Spain and The Netherlands, the project started with the children producing a comparative study where they looked at the histories of each other’s schools. Children then went on to study the educational provision in each school. You can see the results of both of these studies by clicking on the links opposite. <\/p>\n

During the second year of the project, children thought about what education might look like in the future. They designed ‘future classrooms’ (click on the link opposite) and created a syllabus for European Studies aged 4-15.<\/p>\n

Over the two years, the school hosted the first exchange visit before children from Sherborne visited Poland, Finland and Croatia. Unfortunately the trip to The Netherlands was cancelled due to coronavirus, so a virtual meeting took place instead.<\/p>\n

A former student of the school in Croatia went on to represent the country in The Eurovision Song Contest. On hearing his school was taking part in an Erasmus+ Project, he wrote a song for us! You can watch the song here <\/strong><\/a>or listen to it by clicking the media player below:<\/p>\n\t\t\nhttps:\/\/sherborneschool.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/NIKA-SNIMKA-1.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n\t
