One of the project's aim is to make the educative community aware of the importance of human rights by using music, language and arts and to respect and defend those rights so as to become constructively critical European citizens.
Not only language helps bridging the gap to understanding and cooperation but also music and art as non-verbal means of communication play an important part in our project. Applied in lyrics, poems, songs, videos or drawings the aesthetic dimension help to see beyond the pure communicative purpose.
Preparing their participation in Chieti meeting, the last of the 1st year's project implementation, the students from all countries,
besides all, concentrated on a new
activity; Poetry.
They were
encouraged to create poems, energizing their minds and spirits through
immersion in a creative and intellectual journey; and building the momentum to
carry us away into an ongoing experience.
The period of
poem-writing started after the 2nd Comenius Meeting in Limassol, on March 10th
2012, and continued into the spring school holidays, which ended on April 25th. More than 35 poems took part to the competition.
All pedagogical
teams from the 9 partner-schools decided upon the best poem of their school,
which participated to the final phase of the Poetry Competition. All the other poems were shared
for paintings or illustrations.
All young
students explored their creative potential and discovered new approaches to
learn and disseminate knowledge on the Human Rights, showing their artistic
talents through poetry and the arts.
Juries from all schools voted by e-mail the 3 best poems. All poems of the competition were interpreted during a specific ceremony during the 3rd Comenius project Meeting in Chieti on Saturday, May 5th, 2012.
