Erasmus +: What is it?

Erasmus+ is a program of the European Commission for Education, Training, Youth and Sport.

The program supports three main activities:

 

Key Action 1 (KA1) – Training activities for professionals and young people.
Key Action 2 (KA2) – Cooperation between educational institutions, to promote the development and implementation of innovative practices in education, in which our school is registered.
Key Action 3 (KA3) – Support for the reform of the policies of the Member states and cooperation with countries outside the European Union.

 

The CEE Can Rigol participated in the experience in another European program, the Comenius that took place between 2012 and 2014 with a great educational success. With this good previous experience and driven by the desire to continue innovating our educational practice and to bring Europe closer to our students, the Center worked to merge with other schools and get a grant from the EU to carry out a new project, this time Erasmus +, the Xpress Artemotion in Europe.

 

The school Can Rigol is the only public school of special education throughout the Catalonia that has been financed to develop the Erasmus +, thanks to the participation in the 2014 call.

 

Artemotion Xpress in Europe is a project included in the Key Action 2 (KA2) destined to cooperate for innovation and to make an exchange of good practices, strategic partnerships between educational or youth organizations and other relevant actors. The program enhances the mobility and cooperation opportunities aimed at teachers and educators.

 

Our program began in September 2015 and ended in August 2018. It is based on improving communication and expression of emotions through art, and relies on the use of the Learning and Knowledge Technologies transversely to achieve these improvements.

Our Project Erasmus Plus: “Artemotion Xpress in Europe”, 2015-1-EL01-KA219-013904_1, which we developed between 2015 and 2018 with special education schools in Greece, Romania, Poland, Slovenia and Germany, has been awarded the 2021 European Award for Innovative Teaching from the European Commission.

 

Our Erasmus Plus project: “Artemotion Xpress in Europe”, 2015-1-EL01-KA219-013904_1, which we carried out between the years 2015-2018 with special education schools in Greece, Romania, Poland, Slovenia and Germany, has been selected as a “success story and example of good practice” by a group of experts from the General Directorate of Education, Youth, Sport and Culture of the European Commission.

Quoting Luca Perego, Deputy Head of Unit “Success cases are completed projects that have distinguished themselves for their impact, contribution to policy-making, innovative results and/or creative approach, and can be a source of inspiration by other centers and strategic partnerships. The selection of the project as a success story has been carried out on the basis of rigorous criteria regarding its quality, relevance and results. As a result of this selection, visibility will be given and recognition of our project, for example on our websites, social media and when preparing documentation for conferences or other events.”
