Guest artist: Vladimir 518 - Czech polymath in art, music, and architecture Pilot implementation: Autumn 2024

When (pilotly): Autumn 2024

This integrated arts education project connects school subjects with living culture. Through the theme of public space, pupils prepare for a meeting with Vladimir 518, explore his work and learn to formulate questions that genuinely matter to them. Using rap, graffiti and subcultures, they examine how art can intervene in public space, discuss ambivalent social topics, and discover ways to actively engage in contemporary art and positively influence their environment.

Guest: Orff Schulwerk with Kateřina Judová
and Dita Votavová

When (pilotly): Spring 2025

This integrated arts education project for grades 1–5 connects school subjects with living culture and creative experience. Pupils explore different meanings of home—as a place of safety, memories, and change—and learn to perceive it not only as a space but also as a relationship and a feeling. Through literary, visual, musical, movement, and drama activities inspired by the principles of Orff Schulwerk, they develop creativity, cooperation, and empathy. The project emphasizes experiential learning and interdisciplinary links and culminates in a shared presentation—a celebration, exhibition, or performance—where children share their experiences of home.

Theme: inspired by the work of Czech cross-disciplinary artist Petr Nikl 

Guest lectors: Markéta Zabelová, Iva Ščerbáková 

Pilot implementation: Autumn 2025

This integrated arts education project connects natural science and visual arts, linking school learning with creative experience. Pupils explore the world of animals and nature through movement, experimental painting and collective creation. Based on these experiences, they create their own leporellos—original author’s books—in which they process natural science topics in line with the current curriculum, combining factual knowledge with imagination and illustration. The project develops empathy, creativity and cooperation, and emphasises experiential learning and interdisciplinary connections. The final presentation showcases the children’s unique stories and their view of nature as a work of art.
