The Cultural Literacies’ Value in Europe (CLiViE)

The Cultural Literacies’ Value in Europe (CLiViE) project is aimed at enhancing our comprehension of the significance of cultural literacy facilitated by arts-based education in fostering social cohesion. The project unfolds across four phases, starting with the meticulous mapping of arts-based education in diverse learning environments and across various stages of a young person's educational journey. Secondly, it will systematically evaluate the impact of arts-based education to help identify and assess its tangible outputs and outcomes. The project then values these activities, delving into the 'where,' 'when,' 'what,' and 'how' of cultural literacy development in different learning settings. Lastly, the CLiViE project practices pedagogies by innovatively developing materials and practices to support art-based educators in fostering social justice and inclusion. The project will help with understanding the impact of cultural literacy on social cohesion by creating a robust body of evidence supporting the value of arts-based education. Through the establishment of communities of practice and a professional development program for arts educators, the project aims to strategically commission activities that will amplify cultural literacy across Europe. The incorporation of an innovative methodology, including emotional cartography, not only facilitates data gathering but also empowers young people to articulate their perspectives, effectively fostering cultural literacy around European cultures.
