On April 8, 9 and 10, the first face-to-face meeting of the European project Other Spaces took place in Barcelona.
Over these three days, consortium members had the opportunity to meet in person and move forward with the project’s initial activities, sharing perspectives and lines of work. The meeting also made it possible to gain an overall view of the project and to define strategies to achieve its objectives.
During the meeting, participants visited the facilities of laSala, the Tàpies Museum and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), as well as partner schools, and took part in training sessions and joint working activities. In addition, they attended the performance Arrels by the Amaité company, a resident artist at laSala, an experience that allowed them to deepen their understanding of the relationship between artistic practice and education.
The project “Other Spaces. Encounters between artists, students and teachers for sustainable futures” is co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme. The initiative promotes innovative and inclusive education through the integration of artistic practices into teacher education studies, using a co-teaching model with resident artists.
The project is coordinated by professors Gemma París and Sílvia Blanch Gelabert from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and involves the participation of the Tàpies Museum, laSala, the University of Iceland and the Vest University of Timișoara. The project also aims to create a transnational network of teachers, cultural institutions, artists and researchers who collaboratively design intercultural learning experiences based on active and experiential methodologies, with particular attention to diverse and vulnerable educational contexts.
