Promoting cultural literacy through arts education to foster social inclusion

Overview

Objectives

The objectives of this call are the following:

• Increase understanding of the value of cultural literacy on social cohesion and the increase of tolerance on cultural diversity.

• Foster cultural literacy around European cultures.

Activities/actions supported

Proposals should first analyse the role of arts in the different stages of education (primary, secondary and/or higher education), including in non-formal education (especially in cases when non-formal education methods are integrated in formal education curricula) as well as how arts education can enhance/promote cultural literacy, aiming to develop prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable societies.

Anticipated outcomes

Proposals under this topic should develop innovative policy solutions/recommendations to increase cultural literacy to positively affect society and provide ways that those solutions could be integrated into the education policies in Europe. The proposals should also propose methods that will help countries better assessing the impacts of cultural literacy on the inclusion of all children and young people.
