Creativity

Creativity is increasingly important, not just in the visual decoration of the classroom and the corridors, but within the context of the school grounds. An educational curriculum which supports creative thinking benefits all students, in all subjects and contributes to greater learning outcomes for non academic learning styles. Creativity in the school affects the well-being of all. Economically, the creative industries underpin every part of contemporary culture. From 2022, AMPA has initiated a series of cultural and creative projects which aim to address the following:

• Cultural and creative advisory service to school management
• Liason with school staff on creative collaborations to support a visually stimulating school environment
• Developing cultural and artist practitioner lead workshops for student engagement and training
• Highlighting culture and the arts as a key choice for future training and employment
• Supporting more arts resources at school level
• Supporting the European school’s Syllabus for Art education in each education cycle.

Creatividad

La creatividad es cada vez más importante, no solo en la decoración visual del aula y los pasillos, sino en el contexto del recinto escolar. Un currículo educativo que apoye el pensamiento creativo beneficia a todos los estudiantes, en todas las materias y contribuye a mejores resultados de aprendizaje para estilos de aprendizaje no académicos. La creatividad en la escuela incide en el bienestar de todos. Económicamente, las industrias creativas sustentan cada parte de la cultura contemporánea. A partir de 2022, AMPA ha iniciado una serie de proyectos culturales y creativos que tienen como objetivo abordar lo siguiente:

• Servicio de asesoramiento cultural y creativo a la dirección escolar
• Enlace con el personal de la escuela en colaboraciones creativas para apoyar un entorno escolar visualmente estimulante
• Desarrollar talleres dirigidos por profesionales de la cultura y los artistas para la participación y capacitación de los estudiantes
• Destacar la cultura y las artes como una opción clave para la formación y el empleo futuros
• Apoyar más recursos artísticos a nivel escolar
• Apoyar el plan de estudios de la escuela europea para la educación artística en cada ciclo educativo.

The first idea of Family Buddy was born with the intention of welcoming new families to our school. A place where you can get in touch with a support person, who knows the European School and Alicante and can help you find your way and solve all your possible problems.

The second came up a while later. The “Family Support Café”. The idea is to organize meetings. A meeting between families of children with specialized support and other needs.

Sometimes the families feel a bit alone in these situations and create a network of exchange contacts between families is always helpful. The idea is to organise a regular meeting to exchange ideas, ask questions, solve doubts, listen to other experiences and get extra support from each other.
