Our school is situated in the rural region of the Odenwald in a sort of "island" position far away from cultural attractions in cities like Frankfurt or Heidelberg. The school as IGS is responsible for all students with different levels. We notice a tendency that our students avoid to get in contact with people from other countries by showing a shy behaviour. We are convinced: we can change the students' attitudes, but not the geographic disadvantaged rural area with long distances to get in contact with other European cultures. Our school has integrated a programme of inclusion for students with specific needs who take part in regular lessons. We motivate them to join this project to feel integrated as an appreciated part of our school community. Our project subject “Dance” has a magic effect on all students because the language of movement and music is the same for everybody and focusses on fun and feeling of dance vibrations excluding prejudges. 10% of our students are students with migrant background for whom the participation in this project represents also a social factor of integration. They even receive an important role to show and teach their different dance styles. “Dance” represents a motivating character on the students' emotions to lead an active life as balance to cognitive competences and to develop their social team competences in a peaceful atmosphere. Our local resources like experts for “Dance Rooms” and Dance Schools, the regional culture club “Sound of the Forest”, the traditional Folklore Group “Von der Aue”, professional dancers from Berlin “Detlef D! Soost Company" for Hip Hop Dance support our dance creations and research of their roots - and the students’ competences to communicate with these organizations. The students learn and teach their dance language from each other during international project meetings in every partner school as step on the European dance floor. A presentation for the whole school community takes place at Theatre-Music-Art-Festival at our school, organized by our students every school year. Our project is carried out in an interdisciplinary way: music, art, sport, biology, national and English language. In coordination with our school band, the group “Visual Communication”, the “Design group” the students develop different dance ideas (performances with poetry) and create a new European dance style with creation of corporate design. Our role implies the European coordination and our emphasis is art.
