IES AVENIDA DE LOS TOREROS

It's a high school located in Madrid.

The bigger part of the students are immigrants.

Our students participants in the project are in 3rd grade of ESO.Their main characteristic is their low academic status and the

difficulties to go through their learning process. So we areconvinced that new opportunities to learn should be given withnew methodologies and tools.

CASA DE LA CULTURA-TUNIA (Colombia)

It's a non profit foundation whose aim is to preserve the culturaltradition, archeological findings and documentation on thefoundation and location of the small village and itssurrooundings.

Casa de la Cultura is committed to create a communicativeenvironment through the development of cultural activitieswhere theater performances and local cultural traditions arerescued from omission on behalf of local and regionalcolombian culture.

When we think onA toolkit for integration we rather think on abox which will contain a set of elaborate tools to be used byboth individuals and groups for social integration purposes.

We may ask then who are these individuals or groups, their culturalenvironment, their characteristics, their familiy life, theirworking activity. Follow to this study we can then think on thesuitable tools applicable to them and their needs.


9/17



Our main work, I think, consists therefore on creating the toolswhich will be used by the target groups or individuals subjectof our study.

These tools will stemm from different sources using newpedagogical methodologies and cooperative learning networkaccording to the real deeds of the individuals. Only then we canendure a real advancement in the integration process.


10/17



The integration process takes place when it can preserve thecultural diversity of each other and act as a whole in truecommunication and conviviality within the society so the toolkitshould be such that anyone within a group could use them forthe benefit of the whole community

No distinctions between excluded and integrated then occur . Allhave the same opportunities to use the created tools for theirindividual and collective benefice.

In addition the renovation of tools is permanent as society changespermanently.


11/17



The bad use of these tools can reverse the positive effects of integration. This currently happens as the updating of tools isneglected by educators and learners in their irrespectiveteaching and learning processes.


12/17



Lastly we can add that although our created tools are a powerfulsupport in the hands of educators, teachers and learners need

to change mind, to evolve to higher levels of understanding, torenew the vision on education aims if they want to achievesuccessfully an integration process.


13/17



Objective

The aim is to contribute to the integration of social groups at risk of exclusion within European society through communicativeexperience using a methodology based on the implementationand application of arts in a teaching-learning process to enablethem to interpret and strengthen their inclusion and theiropportunities in the current society empowering their roots andtheir individual and communal cultural traditions as dynamicand valuable means of integration.


14/17

Integration

Each country with its multiple and proper experience, knowledgeand artistic expertise, will tackle these methodological and scoreoptions with the groups chosen previously.




15/17

Tools

The interaction is carried out through practices which allow toexplore and reinforce cultural senses helpful to communication,integration and individual and collective assertion.

Our statement of work lies on artistic practices as the best meansto empowerment: texts, music, theatre, painting, sculpture, crafts,iconography, performance, interpretation, gestures, spatial,chromatic, and extra-sensory perception either individualized ormixed : a play or performance, for example, conveys a messagethrough a communication tool.




16/17

Final Product (A toolkit for Integration)

A portfolio of tools aimed at educators and students for use in

education activities and hence promote conviviality andcooperation among all the trainees and trainers.which may in turn be replicated and presented at variousdecision-making levels of the community and the EuropeanUnion for their socialization, implementation and deploymentas a powerful set of tools for inclusion.

These tools will need to be properly described, organized andplaced so they would serve their purpose.
