The project "The future is our jewel" brings together 6 partner schools around a common object, the creation of jewelry, whose cultural heritage and professional history is different. Thus the program covers the need to highlight the diversity in the field of jewelry, so that these different techniques used in different European countries become resources of shared wealth and learning opportunities, resulting in the acquisition of new knowledge and techniques for personal and professional development of students in the field of jewelry.
The students participated daily from morning to afternoon in various workshops of, metalworking, ‘reppousse’ technique, engraving, making jewelry with press, with laser and printing techniques for silver and gold, during the mobility creating at last the logo of their jewelry!

They also visited Casa de Serralves where they studied Joan Miró’s creations.
