The Living Art - The Art of Living
"The Living Art – The Art of Living" project is two years Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships for adult education project between 5 organizations from Greece, Italy, Poland, The UK, and Turkey. It is addressed to disadvantaged adults learners – people facing educational difficulties, social obstacles, cultural differences, and economic obstacles, and teachers/tutors.
The main topic of the project is the meaning of art and its impact on human life. Discovering the beauty and art in life allows people to fully discover the value and purpose of life. The
project will show the way how to discover the beauty of everyday life and will help to understand the origin of European culture. Project activities mainly focus on enhancing the cultural awareness of adult learners and promote attitudes of tolerance, understanding, and openness through education on European cultural heritage. The project creates structure and activities that encourage social cohesion, bringing opportunities for personal development and wellbeing.

Beautiful nature for everyday activity and creativity
Lubna Khan, Head Teacher, Acton Gardens Primary School
“When education allows students to learn from Nature – rather than simply learning about Nature – they are better placed to engage with issues of sustainability.”
Syros, like all the Aegean islands, is scattered by paths that are used to connect the settlements or led to places with water, suitable for cultivation or for watering the animals or finally, to beautiful and secluded beaches.
