The idea of the “Art and Interculturalism” project was to highlight the importance of all peoples in terms of cultural expression and to emphasize to children from other countries that the culture of the country they left is as important as the culture of the country they live in.
The plan addressed the horizontal priority of inclusion and diversity, because it highlights the cultural identity of all people, and strengthens their pride in their origins.
It is a partnership of schools with a high percentage of pupils from different cultural backgrounds. It includes the Esperino Gymnasio Rodou with 60% of foreigners, mainly first-generation refugees and immigrants, the Gymnasio Gennadiou Rodou with 60% mainly children of economic migrants and the Agrupamento de Escolas de São João da Talha in Portugal with 50% of first and second generation foreign students.
The schools’ partnership is supported by the non-profit educational company ICON Greece, which supported the project’s activities and designed the final product “Art and Interculturalism”. The South Rodou Police Department is also involved, highlighting the social face of the police.
The main objective is the inclusion through the promotion of artworks of different cultures. The main activity of the project was for each student to choose an artwork related to the culture of the country of origin or residence and present it to the students of all schools.
The term work of art will be broader and may include a monument, a painting, a building, intangible cultural heritage, tradition or anything else connected with cultural heritage.
