This cross-curricular project Music on the Agenda (MoA) combines the use of foreign languages with music education. Music is the universal language of humankind, its power to unleash ideas, trigger creation and collaboration is cohesive for society and individuals. Both language learning and music education support intercultural understanding, reflect cultural diversity, are context-driven, i. e. they incorporate contemporary changes in society. The project aims at exploring the vast potential of music to further some of the UN sustainable development goals.The project has a strong entrepreneurial project-based learning approach. It will support the development of commitment, resilience and citizenship identity: pupils present their musical preferences, they then consider selected sustainable development goals (SDGs) in international small teams, do research on how music can contribute to achieve one of these SDGs, invent, plan, put into practice their own small music project.
Dear team,
today our 'Fit for Europe' course met for the last time this school term.
We made a few raps in which we talk about work at school seen from different perspectives: the janitor's perspective, the pupils' perspective, the teachers' and cleaners' perspective.
Pupils prepared lyrics in advance, we then tried to turn it into one song.
Kind regards

Dear team,
today we tried out how to use symbols to present our project experience as a form of documentation. Gladly my pupils are very creative and good artists, too. It was fun playing with these ideas. Azra even managed to portray her teacher. What an honor.
We will share the results with you on a special page.
Kind regards
