Compagnie Aleart mixes contemporary dance, hiphop, capoeira, circus arts and acrobatics. First born in Spain in the minds of Charly Bouges and Camilla Melani, it was created as a collective of artists with the aim of presenting their show in the streets of multiple cities and festivals during the summer of 2019. Its artistic body is made up of 4 dancers whose bond is a common desire to create, produce and disseminate their artistic vision of live performance, but also to teach and share their knowledge and mastery of their art. Energy and dynamism are their watchwords. Young and motivated, the fusion of their different artistic practice brings a breath of fresh air to live performances.

Our school is one of few high schools with integrational units. We work with quite a big number of students with special educational needs, diagnosed by psychological-pedagogical counselling centres. We also observe a high influx of students dealing with psychiatric/psychological problems (depression, anorexia/bulimia, self-inflicted wounds). We fight for weak and average students to get their school motiation boosted, for self-engagement in the educational process through passion awakening, inspiration-triggered activities in the field of art. Our students aged 15-19 develop an active approach, entrepreneurial mindset, creativity, self-awareness and openness towards THE OTHER. We have organised many diversed inclusive activities for our students: integrattional meetings, filmmaking workshops, theatre clubs, ”Meetings with Culture”, Erasmus+ projects. We are double winners of The Warsaw Cultural Education Award (WCEA) and our projects gained Quality Label certificate (eTwinning programme).For the last 2 years, we have been cooperating with theatres (Teatr Ochoty, Teatr Tanca Zawirowania, ´ Teatr Ósmego Dnia).

1. is a project aiming at breaking barriers through the practice of contemporary dance and breakdance. Among main goals of the project are: to acquire new experiences collectively, develop an entrepreneurial mindset, increase students' initiative, discover others, discover art and culture, new technologies and a whole range of means of expression. We will also prove that movement should not be restricted to PE lessons and that it may be fun/gain in daily lives if properly dosed. Our movement instructions given in Intelectual Outputs incorporate stress managment/relaxation techniques, breathing works and self-presentation exercises to boost students’ self-esteem. High quality is introduced through professional partners and stakeholders.
