Women in art. Breaking the invisibility loop. Erasmus+ project. Quality assessment
- 1. QUALITY ASSESSMENT: Project Relevance: The backbone has been the recognition of the role of women in art and this axis will be introduced from now on as an objective in the curricula of the partner schools (primary education). The project has promoted the exchange of experiences, mutual learning, the development of professional skills in art and the abolition of discrimination based on gender. In addition, the achievements of the project address a real academic and social need (that of making the work of women in art visible), and it is of interest not only to the educational community but to society as a whole. It is also worth mentioning that external agents have been involved in the project (university, art galleries, museums, female artists with visits to their creation workshops). When visiting the project website, it is clear that it has provided added value at a European level (due to the discoveries of women artists' workshops and the cultural heritage and tourist interest that has been known during student exchanges, for example, the happened in Bari). With regard to its innovative value, material for possible use in primary education art programs has been generated (available in the project's Twinspace). The achievements of this association consist of having known the art made by European women, improved language and ICT skills of students, as well as teaching techniques of teachers and awareness of gender discrimination. In addition, it is considered an innovative project at an academic level for having used active learning methodologies in whose design the students themselves have participated, and for focusing on European art, but from a different point of view, that of women artists. Score over 20: 20 Quality of project implementation: The proposed project and methodology have resulted in a rich and complete work program, a detailed content of the different mobilities carried out, specifically including, in addition, the tasks that have been carried out at the local level (as has been observed by visiting the project website and its Twinspace). All the tasks carried out have been linked around the knowledge of cultural heritage and have involved not only the participants in the project, but also external agents, both from the educational environment and from other types of institutions (museums, workshops for women artists ...). ETwinning, through its Twinspace, has been used to collect evidence of the project, open the possibility for third parties to upload ideas related to the theme of the project (European artists) and to launch events. In addition, the project has been reflected in the Erasmus + results platform. The contact and follow-up of the students from 10 to 12 years old during the exchanges is considered very appropriate, informing the families before and at each step of the mobility. It is worth noting the opening ceremony of the project at the IVAM in Valencia as well as all the graphic and advertising potential of this association that can be seen in the excellent project website, the perfect ambassador for it. In addition, Europass (mobility passport) has been used as recognition of the progress in language skills of the participants. Score over 25: 25
- 2. Quality of the work team and cooperation: A great result can be seen in the synergies established between the partners, having merged the dissemination capacity of the Polish and Spanish centers with the eTwinnig experience of the Italian and Greek centers. The work team has incorporated four educational centers with all the ingredients to achieve this great result, highlighting a good combination of organizations, some with experience in Erasmus + projects and others without it, which is especially relevant. The four have shown similar concerns and visions regarding new educational models and education in respect and equality. The Spanish center has extensive experience in European projects with a qualified work team to carry out its work as coordinator. In addition, he has experience in active teaching methodologies (Project-Based Learning, PBL) and contacts with external agents that add value to the project. The Italian center has extensive experience in the theme of the project, women in art, is currently collaborating with the university and organizes various dissemination activities (workshops, conferences...) The Polish center has also contributed experience in projects Erasmus + and Greek in other types of collaboration and exchange programs. In collaboration, these partners have given their best, squeezing and combining their potentials, as can be seen in the materials for student lessons accessible on the Twinspace and in the videos that synthesize the mobilities available on the project website. The character of social inclusion of the association stands out, thanks to the theme of the project: the recognition of the role of women in art. The project has contemplated various mechanisms to ensure effective coordination and communication throughout the life cycle of the project, such as the use of email and eTwinning for the exchange of documentation. In addition, the Spanish partner, as coordinator, has promoted the holding of virtual conferences, to follow the evolution of the project. Score over 15: 15 Impact and diffusion: One of the fundamental achievements of the project has been the commitment to integrate the materials and resources obtained in this association in the general annual programs of the different centers. In addition, there has been a very extensive dissemination work (as can be seen on the website and in the project's Twinspace) to share results and achievements with institutes and universities in the autonomous community of the coordinating partner. Tangible material has been made available in the project's Twinspace. There has been a clear plan for dissemination and dissemination of results and it has been carried out in schools, in local communities and online. As seen in eTwinning, brochures, a regular newsletter and videos have been created and all this has been displayed on special days such as the day dedicated to disseminating European projects in each school. Dissemination events have been carried out at fairs and congresses and the media, teaching centers, local authorities, universities and associations have been informed (as can be seen in the dissemination tab ofthe project website). As dissemination channels, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and a project website (with great inspiring potential and with a clear organization and extensive information to know the association's lifeline) have been used. The project has had a great impact on the educational communities of the different partners and has carried out an evaluation of its development in the participants (as can be seen on the project website, in the resources tab, in the mobility passports of the students). of the different countries). In addition, tests have been carried out to assess the students' knowledge of European women artists and their improvement in English. Families have been surveyed about the impact of the experience and their assessment has been very positive. A great impact on teachers is appreciated thanks to the new active teaching methods acquired and the development of resources related to women artists obtained. Also in the students since, an

It should be noted that the project's dissemination work is exhaustive and especially beautiful from a graphic point of view, as shown by "the pill" that summarizes the exchange of Bari students accessible on the project website (which has been worked with care and is very effective).
