LIFE on mARTS is the title of the Erasmus+ project created from CasermArcheologica, artistic production centre in Italy, and the Museum of Natural History of the University of Crete for the realisation of tools and models for schools to improve teaching and approaches to science and environmental issues (pollution, biodiversity, climate change) through the art.

CasermArcheologica invited artists such as Roberto Ghezzi, Ilaria Margutti, and Claudia Losi to collaborate with researchers from the Cretan Museum and teachers from Italy and Greece to develop activities suitable for students of all ages and school levels. Now we share tools and activities designed to integrate science and art in education, and to discuss innovative teaching methods and best practices.

The project lasted 24 months and included:
– Two international campuses, one in Italy and one in Greece with teachers and educators.
– Online webinars with experts and teachers, interested people
– Roberto Ghezzi’s artistic residency in Crete and exhibition at the University’s Natural History Museum,
– Workshops with students and teachers in Italy and Greece.

Here you can download the educational kit, which includes activities, tutorials, designed for a hands-on approach with the goal of making scientific topics and climate change more accessible through artistic languages.

You can also download the 4 small guides containing the outcomes of these workshops, each answering the question: “What did I learn about…?”

We hope you find them useful!
