m2-cm is an Erasmus+ project. Viksjöforsbaletten in cooperation with three small schools, a music organization and a university collaborate for 2.5 years. Our logo refers to maths, music, creative movements.

Our youth exchange DANCE MORE! is approved by Sweden NA Myndigheten för ungdoms- och civilsamhällesfrågor (MUCF). In August 2021 we will meet in Viksjöforsbaletten and dance together daily. The choreographies we create will be shown as flash mobs and also shared in the international rhythm4inclusion conference (https://artinedviksjofors.se/). We are five dancers from each country; Spain, Poland, Cyprus and Sweden. Unfortunately our friends/partner in Portugal cannot join due to more costs for travelling with corona rules. So very sorry for this.
Watch out Sweden, watch out Europe! We will share our steps daily in our Facebook group. You are all welcome to join our rhythm4inclusion presentation Monday 16th at 15.30-16.00 CET. The link will be added here and it is free.

Description of the Project
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfJMfUjVrRs&feature=youtu.be
In September 2018, the new European project ARTinLAN was launched. The project aims to create a number of innovative educational tools linking language and art education. These tools will then serve to promote the acquisition of foreign languages ​​for school children.
Target Group
The target group includes pupils aged 6–11 years with an emphasis on pupils who have challenges in learning languages or need additional support in their learning.
Outputs
A set of activities that use different types of art (such as dance, music, theater, visual arts or creative writing) to develop pupils’ language skills.
A methodological guide for teachers about how to use art in foreign language teaching. The guide will include both case studies and good practice examples.
A Global Virtual Village of ARTinLAN, a virtual storage of pupils’ creative outputs. It will be a globally available online platform where teachers will be able to store and publish artistic artifacts and experience that have arisen in their language teaching using ARTinLAN methods.
International training for teachers (6th–8th November 2019, Brno, Czech Republic).
All outputs will be available in English, Czech, Polish, Danish, Turkish, and Swedish. During the project implementation, the project team will organize workshops for teachers where they will explain how to use the innovative tools adequately in the classes.
Project Partners from
