eTwinning project: Recycling through art
This project is designed for students from 10 to 16 years old.
The profile of the project is based on active experiential learning. We are going to probe the interdisciplinary and integrated perspective on Environmental Education in relation with Visual Arts Education. Through our project we are going to underline the value of Aesthetic culture on shaping a healthy coexistence of people in the modern environment and create critical thinking personalities.

The journey started when Esperanza Caro from Madrid, Spain accepted the invitation of Theodora Chandrinou from Athens, Greece to participate in the “Recycling through Art” project and the main activities as a base. Thanks to our friendship and both Fine Arts Artists and Teachers we designed this project with respect and responsibility.
We invited our colleagues to participate and the project gave fruitful results for the benefits of our students.We worked all together and we managed to get the best out of the children.
We thank all the participants, students and teachers, for the perfect collaboration we had.
Special thanks to Irene Confalone from Italy for her remarkable co-operation.
