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

•   improving awareness of own cultural identity

•   Increasing awareness of European citizenship

•   improving oral and written skills in English

•   improving ICT skills

Project plan:

•   collecting ancient traditions about art and music through movies, photos, audio recordings

•   exploring folk stories and presenting them through music and visual arts or writing our own stories

•   planning activities and promoting events

•   school visits with workshops and visits to museums or exhibitions

•   concerts in both schools + installations or exhibitions


In our earlier projects our schools worked on the themes of travelling in landscape and water, as both the presence of nature and the element of water are an integral part of our lives. During both projects we created a blog to document the work of our students.
