Memories from the meeting in Spain.

Memories from the meeting in Spain. It’s a pleasure to share one’s memories. Everything remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious. At least the past is safe – though we didn’t know it at the time. We know it now because it’s in the past, because we have survived.

OUR SCHOOLS

Liceo Artistico Ferruccio Mengaroni
Pesaro, ITALY (Coordinator)
The origins of the school date back to1887 when it was foundedas a school of Applied Arts.

In 1921 the school became a vocational school with courses of metalworking, ceramics, woodwork, stucco and decorative painting and also dressmaking, embroidery and home economics. Later it was transformed into a State Art Institute with courses of graphics, architecture, industrial design, fashion, graphics, preservation of cultural heritage, ceramics and metalworking.

Since2010/2011 the Art School has become an Artistic Lyceum.

The lyceum course lasts five years. It is divided into two cycles of two years eachand a fifth year that completes the course.

After the first two years of school with common subjects, students of "F. Mengaroni"can choose from among the following courses of study: figurative arts, architecture and environment, design (industrial design, fashion design), audiovisual and multimedia, graphic design.

From next school year a three-year vocational course will complete the school offer with courses of metalworking and ceramics.

The school is inserted in an economic and social reality characterized by an average and widespread welfare with social problems that are still only marginally affected by the serious problems of intolerance and social disadvantage that characterize the major metropolitan areas. 50% students comefrom the urban area but, although much diminished in recent years, there is a strong presence of commuter students,from the nearby regions or from the immediate hinterland of towns bordering the town of Pesaro. Thelocal productionallows a good absorption of professionalism in the field of furnishing and design. The Region and the surrounding areas offer other employment and training opportunities in the artistic field. Artistic choices often result from hasty evaluation of its educational structure and curriculum, but in recent years is apparent in the new members a stronger motivation and characterization in an artistic sense. Approximately 10%students are of foreign origin ,from European countries, especially Eastern Europe, and outside Europe. Theirsocial membership is diverse. Among our students there is a certain number of pupils with special needs and others at risk of dropping out because of problems of learning or integration.

Zespół Szkół Artystyczno-Projektowych
Tarnowskie Góry, POLAND
Zespół Szkół Artystyczno-Projektowych is located in an industrial area of Upper Silesia, Tarnowskie Góry, Poland. The school has a very long (85 year-old) tradition in the local community. For many years it has been educating young people in different types of technical and vocational schools mainly in the fields of sewing and designing clothes. Thanks to the change of the young people's intrests in the future work opportunities, a new types of schools have been created: graphic design and printing technical school as well as secondary art school. The art school offers two fields the students can specialise in: interior design or photography. Besides, they study general figurative arts such as drawing, painting, sculpture, history of art etc. The school is well recognised and respected in the local area. The graphic design technical school provides students with useful skills and prepares them for future working career. The school also offers opportunity for disabled students to get a good profession. Annual fashion shows have been held for several years which have strenghtened the school's good position in town but also in the region. The school is chosen by both very giftedas well as the students with specific needs, thanks to the positive and encouraging atmosphere created by the teachers. The students come from many neighbouring towns and villages, even outside the Silesia voivodeship , as well from different social backgrounds. They study practical and useful subjects in order to develop professional skills which are very appreciated by the future employers.
