At the end of October 23, BOREAL Innovation , coordinator of the FromArchive To Alive project, gathered teachers and students at the Lycée Professionel Célony in Aix-en-Provence, France for the awards ceremony of digital art creation contest.

This high school in AIx-en-Provence won the group category prize of the FATA Digital Artwork Contest, with a creation in the field of Environmental awareness. As they pointed out, the archives show that we have already been warned about climate and environmental issues many decades ago.

The pupils highlighted this feature with newspaper archives showing a digital drawing of the earth burning.

The individual prize was also announced during the session by videoconference.

The winning individual art work dealt with inclusion and focused on the need for friendship and bonding in an individualistic society.

To develop the creation, the students used online tools they made into digital files combined with old documents.

The winners explained, “the results were amazing and we were all very proud to have entered a contest like this!“

In October 2023, EOLAS, the Spanish partner of the From Archive To Alive project, met with the teachers and students of IES Javier García Téllez (Cáceres, Extremadura) to celebrate the awards ceremony of the project digital art creation contest.

Two categories of prizes were awarded in a session where students had the opportunity to explain their creations and interact with each other.

The winners, both in the individual and group categories, shared the themes of their works with the rest of the students. The themes included diversity and inclusion and the environmental repercussions of the pandemic.

Archive to Alive Project launches

February 6, 2022EUScreen, Project News[email protected]

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Archive to Alive Project web site!

Due to the pandemic measures, students have been deprived of cultural stimuli since field trips have been put on hold. At the same time, platforms such as EUscreen which have exceptionally interesting material, have not received sufficient attention, despite the fact that it has been online for about 10 years.

EUscreen is a portal containing thousands of digital audiovisual items steaming from the biggest European audiovisual archives that provide an insight into the social, cultural, political and economic events that have shaped the 20th and 21st centuries, mainly form the European aspect. Therefore, the platform’s content can be an important collection of resources that can be exploited in education and incorporated in school lessons and projects.

In recent years there has been a greater than ever need for civic participation, democratic values and social inclusion, due to daily incidents of racism, pre-discrimination and prejudice, and environmental awareness due to the veer alarming issue of climate change.

The Archive to Alive project addresses all these issues simultaneously since it will provide students with a substitute for field trips, it will turn the spotlight to an interesting but neglected platform and it will raise awareness on inclusion and environment through its contest.
