The strategic partnership project – SKOLARTCITY for Creativity in Schools and Public Spaces – is implemented by the Záhrada Cultural Center (SK) in collaboration with Společnost pro kreativitu ve vzdělávání, o.p.s. (www.crea-edu.cz) and Udruzenje Skogled (www.skograd.org).
The project’s primary goal is to connect the arts sector (creative and cultural industries) and the formal education sector by strengthening cooperation and networking between creative professionals, educators, and cultural managers.
The tangible outputs of the project will be the Methodology of Creative Education in Public Space and the Handbook of Best Practices. The project will include two creative education conferences in Banská Bystrica and Belgrade and various educational activities.
These activities will help young people gain practical knowledge within the school curricula’s thematic areas and understand the relationship between the global and the local. It would also strengthen their civic and social awareness through art tools in public space (e.g., performances, interventions, digital media, new technologies, design, etc.) By participating in the creative process of preparing and implementing class projects, young people have better access to information. They will also be able to evaluate them and use them correctly.
