A Shared Canvas: Art, Education and Citizenship in the European Education Area

“A Shared Canvas” is the ErasmusDays event organised by Liceo Artistico “F. Mengaroni” to celebrate international cooperation, creativity and European citizenship through the experiences developed within the school’s Erasmus+ programme.
Taking place from 12 to 17 October, the event will bring together students, teachers, partner schools and the local community around a shared vision of education as a space for dialogue, participation and connection across borders.
At the heart of the event will be an exhibition showcasing Erasmus+ projects, student work and experiences of international mobility and cooperation. Open throughout the week, the exhibition will highlight how art and creative practice can become powerful tools for exploring common European themes, encountering different perspectives and strengthening a sense of belonging to a wider European community.
The programme will culminate on 16th October with a meeting of the “Language in Practice – Comunità di pratiche, ricerca-azione e internazionalizzazione” network, coordinated by Liceo Mengaroni. The afternoon will provide teachers from partner schools with an opportunity to share experiences and reflect together on current challenges in language education and internationalisation. A participatory World Café, “Language Learning Today: Challenges and Perspectives,” will encourage professional dialogue on students’ changing needs, innovative approaches to language learning, digital technologies and AI, inclusion, CLIL, and the role of international experiences in creating authentic opportunities for communication.
