HYPOTHESISIf students are sensitized on local culture, through art and technologies, they could make choices, as prospective citizens, so that are able to face the homogenisation and the loss of local identity, integrating creativity into regional policies.
Moreover if children, are given the chance to maintain their curiosity, courage, experimentation and imagination, then a creative capacity is formed, which stays with them as they grow into adult men and women.
Mission... ACTIVE AND PRODUCTIVE was carried out by B-class students, receiving consulting support by the University of Aegean and the Museum of Modern Greek Art of Rhodes.
The project is a creative approach of "culture by doing".
Art and tecnology enhanced the quantity and the quality of students’ achievement.

4. Using creative thinking methods (think outside the box, brainstorming, idea lists, what if…) start creating your artwork, inspired by the selected element.
5. Experiment with new ideas (find creative solutions, use visual means as sketches, drawings, collage, prints, stencils…) and create your own artwork.
6. Elaborate on your own design, combine it with other classmates’ work, and make transformations, patterns, or collaborative posters.
7. Take digital photos of your final solution.
