Work Package 2 – Research and Development focuses on the research, design and development of the main educational contents and digital tools of the project. This Work Package is implemented from 1 January 2025 to 31 January 2026 and is divided into two main phases: the research and module development phase, and the creation of the digital platform.
The first phase, corresponding to Activity 2.1, takes place from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025. It includes a literature review aimed at analysing the impact of art on the development of soft skills and digital competences. This activity provides the theoretical and methodological basis for the following project outputs. The expected results include three artistic impact reports and six case studies, developed by the project partners.
Alongside the research activity, Work Package 2 also includes the development of teaching modules. These modules are based on artistic methodologies and are designed to support the acquisition of soft and digital skills. The result is the creation of six art-based teaching modules, supported by online tools and developed in collaboration among the partners.
The second phase, corresponding to Activity 2.2, takes place from 1 July 2025 to 31 January 2026 and focuses on the development of the digital platform. This platform is intended as an interactive space for resource sharing and learning, including tools such as QR code paths, a virtual diary and a shared online environment.
The main output of this phase is one digital platform integrating several tools, including nine QR codes connected to nine works of art and nine soft skills. Overall, Work Package 2 represents a key stage of the project, transforming the initial research into practical educational resources and digital solutions for learners and educators.
