When an Erasmus+ partnership begins, all partners are excited and can´t expect meeting their colleagues and starting to share good practice and developing ideas! For "Creativity and Arts: Bridges to Solidarity" (CABS) we all felt that excitement in November 2019 when we meet for the first time in Olching/Germany.

And then, unexpectedly and insidiously, a malignant disease appeared and threw our life off balance: COVID-19 was rapidly spreading! It soon impinged massively our daily life and paralysed the whole world. Confinement, illness, solitude, fears: everyone hold his breath waiting for the end of the pandemic! But two years later the shadow of the virus is still wandering around!

Once the first shock had worn off, all partners got down to work to continue CABS, delved into topics they had selected, regularly exchanging resources and meeting online. Did the confinement stimulate their creativity? Probably!

A striking number of resources, online activities and information was brought together and uploaded on CABS project website: https://cabs-erasmus.eu.

Resources for everyone who enjoy teaching with the help of visual supports are now available.

We invite you to have a look here: https://cabs-erasmus.eu/ressources/ . You will find there a collection of teaching resources on the following topics:

Creativity definitively helped us a lot to surmount all difficulties and sorrows that the pandemic caused.
