PROJECT - THE STORY

Everybody has their story to tell. Every country, every nationality, every group of people, every family and every individual have their stories, their legends, and their history. The history of a story or a folk tale may go a long way back  in time. Besides, it is also interesting to see how history and old traditions may still be visible in modern life and modern design. Therefore, our schools, Liceo Artistico Cardarelli and Liceo Musicale Cardarelli and Järvenpään lukio decided to have a look at the stories told by ordinary people. We are going to examine how stories are depicted in visual arts and in music. Furthermore, we are going to  tell stories via music and visual arts as well as via writing and speaking.


Aims:
•   getting acquainted with ancient ways of life
•   increasing cross-cultural awareness
•   cross-curricular collaboration
