4 elements in arts

The Erasmus+ KA220 project "4 ELEMENTS IN ARTS" aims to support educators working with adults from disadvantaged backgrounds and people with (specific) learning difficulties and talents. 4 ELEMENTS IN ARTS explores the potential of the 4 elements - predominant images in European culture - in relation to art, artistic socialization, creativity and creative thinking, focusing on the stories represented in works of visual art, paintings, drawings, sculptures, etc

4 ELEMENTS IN ARTS, uncovers the deep connection between arts, culture and education and explores the transformative power of the four elements - earth, air, fire and water - in European art and heritage. Funded by the European Union.

The project is coordinated by CVO EduKempen in Belgium and brings together a diverse partnership of organisations from Spain (Dom Spain), Latvia (ZINI Foundation), France (Les Apprimeurs), Italy (Instituto dei sordi di Torino), Slovenia (The Slovenian Third Age University) and Greece (My Artist).

The project aims to improve adult educators' competences in the fields of arts, cultural heritage and English language learning. The project engages adult learners in adult education and learning throughout adult life. It also aims to improve learners' language, digital and creative/artistic thinking skills and strengthen their sense of inclusion.
