Creative Arts in the Classroom: Visual Art, Music and Movement for Learning

This course is an eligible training activity under Erasmus+ Key Action 1 (School Education Mobility) — the course fee, travel and subsistence fall within the eligible cost categories. Whether it is covered depends on your own project's approved grant agreement and your National Agency's rules; we provide all the invoices, attendance records and certificates your National Agency requires for reporting.

B1 is enough — you do not need to be fluent. Trainers speak slowly and plainly, every session is built around doing something rather than sitting and listening, and groups are mixed by nationality so people help each other out. A rough test: if you could follow a staff meeting held in English and ask a question in it, you will be fine here.

Absolutely — group bookings of 3+ from one school or organisation receive priority placement, and we can schedule a dedicated session for groups of 12 or more.

Our courses run on request at our centres in Antalya, İstanbul, İzmir, Mersin, Budapest, Bremen and Rome. Tell us your preferred city and dates and we will arrange a session.

Tuition, all course materials, your Certificate of Attendance, and the co-signed Europass Mobility document. Flights, accommodation and travel insurance are booked separately — we send a vetted hotel list.

You can move to any later session free of charge. Cancellations made 30+ days before the start date receive a full refund; a reduced refund applies closer to the date — see our full Cancellation & Refund Policy for the exact schedule.

This mobility supports the Key Action 1 school education objective of "supporting professional development of teachers, school leaders and other school staff" (Erasmus+ Programme Guide 2026, Key Action 1 – Mobility for pupils and staff in school education, Objectives of the action, p. 103). In the school-education priorities set out for cooperation partnerships (KA2), the Guide names "Developing basic skills and key competences", including "developing creativity", for all learners "including children in early childhood education and care" (Partnerships for Cooperation – sector-specific priorities in the field of school education, p. 230), and a separate priority, "Developing high quality early childhood education and care systems", which supports the "continuing professional development of staff involved in organising, leading and providing early childhood education and care" (p. 231). The course works on one of the eight key competences for lifelong learning in the 2018 Council Recommendation, cultural awareness and expression: participants learn to use visual art, music and movement as ways into their own curriculum, and to observe children's creativity with five creative habits. Each participant builds a short arts-based unit on a topic they teach, with versions for younger and older children. It is not an art therapy course. Frame it in your own project's terms — your National Agency's current call will confirm exactly how it applies.

No. The course is built so that classroom teachers need no art or music training. You take part in every activity yourself first, step by step, and every activity uses simple materials, your voice and your body. Art and music teachers use the week to plan activities they can run together with class teachers.

Both. Every activity is planned in two versions, one for children aged about three to six and one for children aged about six to twelve, and you choose your topic from your own curriculum. Preschool and kindergarten staff can take part in Erasmus+ school education mobility in the same way as school teachers.

Art as Therapy: Emotional and Social Development in Schools focuses on emotional and social development through art. From STEM to STEAM adds art to science and mathematics lessons. Our drama course teaches the Mantle of the Expert approach. Creative Arts in the Classroom uses visual art, music, movement and making as ways into any topic, for younger and older children.
