THE EUROPEAN ART LABORATORY FOR THE FUTURE- Consolidating Europe around a new aesthetic, sustainable and inclusive Bauhaus-

<< Background >>Our pupils sometimes have an abstract vision of Europe, so we wanted to show them that Europe is a tangible reality through a European cooperative project, meetings with partners and concrete achievements. We thought that involving pupils in the creation of spaces that they design themselves would improve this feeling of well-being, but we also thought that pupils suffer from their learning environment, and that outdoor classroom teaching seemed to us to respond to this crucial issue. The lack of knowledge and interest among pupils and the general public about the existence of new sustainable architectures, despite the fact that they have a major impact on the economy, the climate and people's daily lives, made it absolutely essential to try to ensure that all those involved in the project were aware of the importance of implementing these architectures and sustainable urban planning programmes. The project was an opportunity to experiment with solutions to improve their living environment and to think more broadly about new ways of living.<< Objectives >>Faced with the current context of rising extremes, wars near and far, and global warming, we wanted to defend European humanist values, and show our pupils that in Europe, openness to others and solidarity are absolutely essential, and that reconnecting with nature is a guarantee of our humanity. Based on the Bauhaus and on the European New Bauhaus, which updates its values, our project promoted democratic values and aimed to build an inclusive, supportive and civic-minded Europe. Our ambition was to raise awareness of the Bauhaus as part of Europe's cultural heritage, to understand how it has been transformed in today's world and to collectively reinvent new ways of living, building, creating, understanding urban planning and architecture, and learning in Europe. We wanted our students to experience creativity as an opportunity to work together to shape the Europe of tomorrow. We wanted to engage students in a creative process of co-construction to shape the future and give substance to these values. We also wanted to develop an innovative pedagogical approach and promote the school outside the classroom.<< Implementation >>creation of a photographic exhibition ‘In the manner of the Bauhaus artists’. creation of an exhibition of critical posters entitled ‘Archaeology of the Future’. creation of an outdoor classroom to learn differently and reconnect with nature creating a virtual museum to take visitors on a journey through the project's creations setting up cooperative workshops and designing inclusive objects. official participation in the New European Bauhaus Festival to disseminate the project throughout Europecreation of an outdoor architectural exhibition from the Bauhaus to the New Bauhaus implementation of architectural intervention brigades to rehabilitate sites from an aesthetic and sustainable perspectivethe collaborative creation of a graphic novel in 7 chapters by 96 illustrators, and the creation of an immersive performance and an animated film based on the graphic novelcreation of 6 episodes of a film series illustrating the results of the projectcreation of a teaching guide for other schools with teaching sheets to transfer the projectcreation of a magazine on urban planning setting up international meetings between partners in the 5 countriescreating a festival to publicise the project<< Results >>Les activités et les résultats concrets se recoupent: une exposition coopérative photographique « A la manière des artistes du Bauhaus » présentée en France qui a ensuite voyagé dans les pays partenaires une exposition d'affiches « archéologie du futur » une classe du dehors pour apprendre autrement et se reconnecter à la nature un musée virtuel, destiné à faire voyager les spectateurs à travers les créations du projet des ateliers coopératifs de conception d’objets-design inclusif. une exposition architecturale en extérieur a confronté l'architecture du Bauhaus et celle du Nouveau Bauhaus et les a fait connaîtredes brigades d’intervention architecturales ont permis d'imaginer la réhabilitation des lieux des écoles, dans une perspective esthétique et durableun roman graphique en 7 chapitres, par 96 illustrateurs et création d'une performance immersive et un film animé sur le roman graphique6 épisodes d'une mini série filmique retracent l'aventure du projet et illustrent ses résultatsun guide didactique pour d'autres écoles avec des fiches didactiques conçues pour transférer les activités principales un petit magazine sur l'architecture urbanisme création d'un festival pour faire connaître le projet
