AMASS, which is located in Europe’s culturally often underserved Norther Western and Eastern regions, will set up 35 experiments in these peripheries to investigat effects of the STEAM model in integrating the arts with science through participatory and approaches. This will be accomplished through technologically enabled visual expression an based learning that will offer solutions to the geopolitical challenges, and policy recomm development that will foster inclusive, innovative and reflective societies. PedF CUNI is part of the WP3 (Work package 3) and it's deliverables stated by the consorti Horizon 2020. Aims • Developing multidisciplinary methods for capturing, assessing and harnessing the societa arts • Reducing isolation amongst women, children and minority groups from peripheral EU region various forms of participation in the arts • Educating women and children through various educational models and philosophies of part are informed by arts-based approaches • Evaluate and develop new policy frameworks for using arts to overcome societal challenge • Valuing and learning through alternative knowledge systems with the purpose of decolonis institutions, enable communication and implement policies  Expected Results • Culturally marginalised and / or socially underprivileged groups will express their prob collaborate on finding solutions through innovative arts education practices. Artists an will be sensitised for and gain experience in catalysing social and educational empowerm methodologies developed will be used in their future educational and artistic work. • Tackle exclusion and various forms of poverty by formulating, experimenting with and tes art-based practices aimed at mutual understanding, dialogue and civic participation. • Prioritise, recognise and promote the value of creativity within the peripheries of Euro creative potentials and act on creative opportunities. Render audible and visible the vo positions of marginality. • The integration of the arts in the strategic overall and regional goals and policy makin of the EU that relates to the fight against exclusion, tackling a variety of poverty iss educational, skills and so on), and youth unemployment.
