Sammendrag:

Mind the GAP (MTG) is a project proposal for forwarding the progress of art and cultural education with innovative development laboratories while enhancing the cultural participation of children and youth in Europe. The project answers to the objective of innovation by developing the cross-sectoral cooperation of culture and education to tackle shared European challenges regarding the well-being on children and youth.

The project consortium of four established cultural operators has recognized shared European challenges, such as decline of mental health among children and youth and continuous social division. The project conceptualizes these shared issues as gaps (gaps in the realization of all children's right to culture, gaps in cross-sectoral cooperation of education and culture and gaps in the wider society). By recognizing these issues and counteracting to them, the project answers to the priority of social inclusion. The shared challenges manifest themselves differently in different national contexts. For that reason, all partners develop different art education laboratories. The added European value comes from sharing these methods, peer-reviewing other's laboratories and getting feedback, all the while equipping the children and youth participating in the project with tools for enhancing their well-being and self expression.

Mind the GAP offers opportunities for networking and capacity building for a variety of professionals working in the fields of education and culture with the help of national and international events and publications of easily adaptable method guides in five European languages.

Mind the GAP also answers to the priority on audience development. All partners are known for their long-winded work for and with young audiences. By enabling all children to participate in artistic activities in a school environment, the project offers them
a personal connection to arts.
