Culture and Language to Promote Citizenship
The project aims to explore for the purpose of developing recommendations for best practice the way in which the arts
can be used in adult education. Models that will allow art forms to provide marginalised communities a vehicle to
express issues related to their communities resulting in a sense of responsibility for issues raised and in turn creating
more active citizens. To develop a list of recommendations of best practice using arts in education that provide
communities a sense of ownership of the work, a sense of belonging in the community and a resulting heightened sense
of responsibility. The project aims to discuss the link between languages, culture and identify the ways in which they
work together to develop active citizenship. Also to explore how to integrate this area into educational programme to
promote active citizenship. During 4 multilateral exchanges the partners will meet to discuss and observe how drama,
theatre and other art forms can develop language skills, and self confidence particularly with immigrant and other
disadvantaged groups and support their active participation in the community.
