CREATEskills Winter School 2019
In the framework of the CASE (Creativity, Art and Science in Primary Education) project funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the EU, a Summer School took place on 8-13 July in Marathon, Athens, Greece. The CASE Summer School 2018 was a 5-day intensive course that introduced 3 case studies:
- Learning Science Through Theater,
- Learning Science through Puppetry and
- Learning Science through Digital Narratives
for creative science inquiry in the classrooms of primary schools.
It elaborated a methodology that regards teachers as agents of change and aims to empower their profession with skills and competencies that will enable them to widen their teaching capabilities by incorporating creativity and art in science education.
22 primary school teachers and education professionals from across Europe gathered on 8-13 July in Marathon, Greece in order to enhance their teaching capabilities. Participants were introduced to each case’s implementation methodology and they were divided into three groups according to their interests. Through a collaborative approach all groups cooperated in order to develop and present a final performance on a scientific theme, integrating aspects of all cases: theatre, puppetry, slowmation, digital narratives and enriching it with creative approaches on music and choreography. During the 5-day intensive course, social activities were also organized such as a visit to Cape Sounio and the Acropolis at the historical city centre of Athens. After the success of the 2018 edition, another Summer School is to be organized in July 2019.
