Community School Museums

Changing the world requires one step at a time. The COSMUS project is the first step in this process, by way of teaching the participants knowledge of diverse cultures and an understanding of how to live together, in a perspective of global citizenship.

Objectives
To develop strategies of social integration, intercultural understanding, a sense of belonging and of valuing people. These strategies are achieved in the contexts of school, community and the city.
To promote formal and non-formal learning processes through transference of skills, digital literacy, ICT and multimedia, as well as communication in both native and foreignlanguages.
Promoting the capacity for social and civic responsibility and entrepreneurship in cultural, aesthetic and artistic environments.
To satisfy the needs of training and learning of teachers and pupils in a meaningful way and at the level where there is flexibility in the approach of the application of the curriculum. This is achieved through collaborative work, as a team or independently, by sharing and building knowledge responsibly as well as through a logic of innovation, creativity and problem solving.
At the invitation of the Project coordination, the intervention of the Department of Museology/CeiED consisted of coordinating training actions with the schools involved in the project.
