    Over 160 students in four Jordanian cities learned about European culture and history through creative workshops led by an artist. The students created clay tiles depicting their impressions of Europe. These tiles were then combined into large outdoor mosaics installed at youth centers in each city. The mosaics were launched at events in July 2017 to celebrate and share the students' work with their communities. The EU funded the project to promote cultural exchange and provided training to allow similar future events.

    4 July 2017
    Launching the ‘Glimpses of Europe’ Mosaic Artworks in four cities

    To celebrate Europe Day during the month of May over 160 students, aged 7 – 12, from Amman, Jerash,
    Irbid and Kerak learned about the landscape, culture and history of Europe through creative learning
    sessions.

    In partnership with the Princess Basma Youth Resource Centre (PBYRC), Jordanian artist Hazem
    Nimrawi guided the students to capture their understanding and impressions of Europe on clay tiles. The
    tiles were fired and glazed and the colourful results have been collated into large-scale outdoor mosaic
    artworks and permanently installed at the PBYRC centres in each city.

    The Head of the European Union Delegation to Jordan, Ambassador Andrea Matteo Fontana said:
    “Combining educational activities with creativity is the best way to ensure that young people develop a
    love of learning, and in this case the results of that creativity will be permanently displayed in Irbid, Kerak,
    Jerash and Amman for all the public to enjoy and be proud of.”

    Members of the public are invited to join the events to formally launch these artworks at the Princess
    Basma Centres in each city:
    6 July, Irbid, 12pm
    12 July, Amman, 12pm
    13 July, Jerash, 12pm
    16 July, Kerak, 12pm

    To ensure the sustainability of these actions beyond the lifetime of the project, the European Union has
    provided training for the facilitators of the Princess Basma Youth Resource Centres so they can manage
    similar events in the future.

    This project forms part of a broader programme of cultural events and activities in Jordan which is funded
    by the European Union and implemented by the EU National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) in Jordan
    whose members are: the British Council, the Austrian Embassy, Instituto Cervantes, Institut Français,
    Goethe-Institut, Embassy of Greece, Embassy of Romania and the Società Dante Alighieri. END
