Since 2017 and as part of the work of the Pacte pour un Enseignement d'excellence, eight scientific "Consortiums" of the tronc commun have been formed. They bring together a total of some fifty members from the various universities, colleges and higher arts schools in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Their mission is to establish, on the e-classe digital platform, a repertoire of didactic tools and pedagogical devices that the educational community will be able to consult, select and procure easily, according to its needs and those of its students. These resources are available on the e-classe digital platform.

The "Sensibilities and Artistic Expressions" Consortium

The "Sensibilités et expressions artistiques" (C3) Consortium is coordinated by professors Sandrine Biémar of UNamur and Guido Jardon of the Institut Supérieur de Musique et de Pédagogie de Namur, and is made up of researchers or teacher-researchers: Caroline Lahaut and Elsa Roland (UNamur), Marielle Vancamp (IMEP), Laurence Grosfils (Haute École Vinci) and Colline Etienne (ArBA), Barbara Van Dievel (IAD), Martin Carpentier (IAD) and Isabelle Durieu (IAD).

Their mission? To reference, validate and develop tools and devices for the educational community in Cultural and Artistic Education, a discipline that has become essential as part of a multidisciplinary and polytechnic common core.

Their mission?

Cultural and artistic education at the heart of the core curriculum

From now on, cultural and artistic education will be an integral part of all pupils' learning, thanks to the new initial skills reference framework for kindergarten pupils, and the cultural and artistic education reference framework (ECA) for the rest of the core curriculum. These standards ensure that, throughout FWB, pupils aged 3 to 15 benefit from cultural and artistic activities, both inside and outside the school, covering 3 modes of expression: French and physical expression, musical expression and plastic expression. Cultural and artistic education is taught by the incumbent for four periods a week in kindergarten and two periods for the rest of the core curriculum, while creativity is worked on using all the learning areas of the core curriculum. The aim is for all students to experience a minimum of 2 activities per year, one inside the school and one "outside the walls". Of course, there are no restrictions.

Femme qui explique ce qu'est le consortium Education Culturelle et Artistique

This research work led to the creation of p.ART.cour(t)s, giving teachers the opportunity to introduce their students to different artistic disciplines. Before being offered on the digital platform e-classe.be, these pedagogical devices are tested in the field by volunteer teachers, and if necessary, improved.

Link with the PECA approach

The work carried out within the C3 consortium is being carried out in close collaboration with the measures linked to the Parcours d'Education Culturelle et Artistique developed within the Pacte: PECA
