1. Tangible Outcomes
All Art Education Materials will be available in an online
database to which participants will have access at
http://www.maptales.com/view/10549 and
www.educult.at This will help to facilitate the creation
of online communities by allowing the students to
create stories that bind us together around thematic
areas. It is this bind that will re-create and re-imagine
the social space. Furthermore there will be exhibition
and performances of workshops at major art spaces
in Vienna. Exhibitions will be ready to tour including
NYC.

Workshop and
Seminar Aims
Participants will be strengthening and engaging in
personal expression of
p Multiculturalism
p Diversity and fluidity of language
p Cultural tolerance
p Heritage and Identity
p Intercultural Dialogue
They will understand the power of art to effect perception
and express ideas. Understand how one’s own
community and others and identify the ways in
which certain groups of people are stereotyped and
explore ways of appreciating differences.
Evaluation
p 360 evaluation in line with the current
assessment already in the curriculum
p Instead of using a method of assessment that
focuses on goals, targets, exams and grades in
isolation, the art education methods engage
students at both a creative and analytical level.
p Each seminar and workshop will build upon the
next and students will be able to see how art
education methods can enhance the current
curriculum and enabling cross-curriculum
learning.
