ITALY: “M.A.D. for Italy! Music Art Drama in artistic itineraries”

Guest participants: 21 students and six teachers, who will work with students and teachers of our Institute. Participants will be between the ages of 13 and 14 years. The choice will take into account the points of gender equality and inclusion. With equal merit, there will be a tendency to encourage the mobility of pupils belonging to weaker social groups, because they have fewer opportunities to visit countries different from their own. All participants must have carried out the preparatory activities required by the host school. As a host school we ensure compliance with the safety standards and the creation of a serene and joyful atmosphere aimed at welcoming our guests putting them at ease from the beginning of the meeting.

• This second mobility will use “clarification” as creativity technique;(Why? How? Story boarding? Performance)
• and city-based and nature based- teaching activities;
• the topic illustrated will be gender equity and we will suggest activities responding to sustainable criteria and promoting languages.
• Italian School promotes experiences of Music, Art and Drama languages in its curriculum so the town/ school has chosen to order an event in those eras.

TWINSPACE:

The students will first have to understand "Why" this title working on some documents gathered in a Wakelet about Italian artists, forms of art, inventors and getting acquainted with the association who will work with them. Then they will have to imagine “how” they will be able to proceed to imagine their performances according to the offer; for this they will make a story board to the final performance (places to visit, workshops, things to prepare, instruments, costumes, digital tools...)
