We are delighted to announce that the ARETÉ Foundation is starting the implementation of its first mobility project in the Adult Education sector in the Erasmus+ programme!
Project title: BEYOND – Sztuka bez Granic / BEYOND – Art Without Borders
Implementation period: 01.09.2026 – 31.10.2027
This is an important step for us towards international development and the beginning of our adventure with the Erasmus+ programme. The BEYOND – Sztuka bez Granic project is our first mobility project in the adult education sector, which addresses three key priorities of the programme: physical and mental health and well-being, inclusion of people with disabilities, and the reception and integration of people with refugee and migration experience.
Detailed information about the project can also be found on the official Erasmus+ website.

Project objectives::
The BEYOND project strengthens the competences of the ARETÉ staff in the field of educational work with people with fewer opportunities and increases the accessibility and quality of our offer through inclusive, art-based and innovative methods focused on well-being.
We place special emphasis on meaningful inclusion – including people with disabilities, neurodivergent people and people with migration experience, supporting the development of their social competences and cultural expression.
As part of the project, we will implement two types of educational mobilities: group mobilities of adult learners and individual mobilities of staff. Our participants will take part in international group trainings, and our educational team will go for specialized trainings and job shadowing in partner organizations in Portugal, Italy, France and Greece. The methods and practices acquired will be directly implemented into the classes conducted by the foundation in Poland.
The idea of the project is:
- improving the quality and developing the educational offer and expanding its thematic scope,
- professionalization of educational staff – learning new methods and techniques of work,
- reaching a wider group of recipients,
- adapting the educational offer to current social needs and challenges,
- designing education in the spirit of the values of the European community,
- developing key competences (cultural awareness and expression, interpersonal skills) supporting the personal development of learners.
What will be the result?
Thanks to the project, the staff of the Areté Foundation will strengthen their competences in working with people with fewer opportunities, using new, inclusive and innovative educational methods. Our offer will become even more accessible and better tailored to the needs of people with disabilities, migrants and neurodivergent people.
And most importantly – at the heart of the project is learning inclusive dance techniques. Our participants will learn in practice methods in which, through movement, body and common dance, they develop social competences, cultural expression and self-confidence, experiencing integration in a diverse, international group.
We will share reports from the mobilities on an ongoing basis!
