CreaTiFoLa addresses the issue of creativity in education and aims to produce teaching materials which foster this capacity in students of 10-16 years in content and language integrated (CLIL) lessons.

Teachers and teacher trainees will work together in international groups, discuss updated, global pedagogical issues, prepare lesson plans based on a common criteria. They will pilot their materials in schools and reflect on their experiences. A CD-ROM will be disseminated to CLIL schools in Europe containing the input of the Intensive Programme, the lesson plans, the teaching materials and the reflections on the lessons taught with video footage. Preparatory and follow-up project activities will be enhanced by a forum provided by an Internet-based Learning Management System.

Creativity, preferably flavoured by humour, will be approached in a multidisciplinary and democratic sense: as a capacity all students possess and possible to be facilitated by educators. CreaTiFoLa participants will experiment with task-based CLIL lessons incorporating elements from keyboarding skills, communications & expressive arts, handcrafts and cognitive psychology.

CreaTiFoLa draws on previous project outcomes dealing with Multiple Intelligences and Culture. The core of the consortium relies on 5 years of cooperation accumulating a wealth of experiences in teamwork, which they will share with the newcomers
