Abstract:

The cultural project „An Occupation of Loss”, initiated by performing arts specialist Taryn Simon, from New York University, was an international celebration of funeral practice, involving artists from around the world.

Abstract:

The goal of the Comenius Project “European Music Portfolio: A Creative Way into Languages” is to integrate musical activities in primary foreign language education. This learning approach can reduce language barriers and help social integration. It can also nurture self-confidence and self-expression and improve intercultural understanding. The project developed a European Music Portfolio to support early foreign language learning. However, a strong emphasis is placed on the fact that integrating music and foreign language learning is based on an understanding of integrated learning in all subjects.

The project created:

Teacher’ s materials, a website and e-learning platform with ‘good practice’ examples demonstrating the uses and benefits of music in foreign language teaching.

Pupil’ s version of the “European Music Portfolio: A Creative Way into Languages”.

A Comenius Project Development course designed to support primary teachers in how to include musical learning in foreign language teaching.

National and international train-the-trainer courses.
