The final objective is to promote the development of artistic and scientific skills in children and young people, so that they can use them to become responsible leaders of the 21st century and address key global issues, such as climate change and equality. The primary goal is to provide teachers with an innovative interdisciplinary educational model, offering a methodology, training, and practical examples to integrate STEAM education and civic education of children. The project pursued the following specific objectives: 1. to design an innovative L4CA educational model and toolkit for teachers, co-created by partner schools; 2. to implement the L4CA in schools across Europe to develop artistic & scientific skills of students, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci - an artistic and scientific genius who used creativity to solve the problems of his time; 3. to organize workshops and events creating a solidarity link between children and young people that can help face together the challenges of increasing climate change and inequalities; 4. to use the L4CA model as a tool to address policy-makers at EU, national and local level on the importance of STEAM education to foster civic and citizenship education in schools.
