Project Overview
The ARTSKUL project proposes an innovative new service offering that uses performance arts disciplines including music, drama and storytelling to build a suite of embedded learning educational resources to build key transversal skills of low skilled adults. Partners are convinced that he traditional ‘sage-on-the-stage’ model of education is of little initial value in the current context.
If educators are to attract adults on the margins of provision a new more holistic approach to teaching is required. In a pedagogic context, the performing arts of storytelling, drama and music have faded into the background and are rarely now considered as appropriate techniques for key competence building. However, in the current context, with the low levels of literacy and numeracy within the marginalised adult target group activities like storytelling, drama and music workshops could be considered as effective techniques to help overcome social and cultural barriers and build key competences among the marginalised adult communities.
