Concept

The ARTools Project was developed according to the basic idea that Education in Art is a fundamental tool for understanding the changes in modern and contemporary society. Therefore art is seen as an indicator of how changes have been foreseen, perceived and adopted by society, while education is considered as a tool to understand and explain these changes.

The project is shared among four cultural organizations, aimed at testing an international education and art network: GAMeC, Modern and Contemporary Gallery, Bergamo (Italy) – coordinator; CIAP, Centre International d'Art & du Paysage, Vassivière Island (France); Malmö Konsthall, Malmö (Sweden); Műcsarnok|Kunsthalle, Budapest (Hungary).

Every partner is a co-designer of the project; the artistic and methodological value of the work is shared among all partners. The project focuses on a shared process of building common tools, letting the partners free to develop different experiences, in line with the structure and the aims of the project. Therefore actions have been structured at various levels in order to attain results for the diverse stakeholders involved in the project and to experiment with educational activities specifically aimed at students of primary, secondary and high schools.
