VOLT Documentary

The VOLT documentary follows the learning journey of three schools that came together through the VOLT project. The project supports teachers and students with tools to study local volcanoes from a cross sector perspective, including historical, geographical, geological, and societal dimensions. It also promotes new pedagogical practices such as Inquiry Based Learning.

Filmed across three active volcanic regions, the documentary shows how students from Greece, Iceland, and Italy explored geological phenomena while building connections across countries.

Throughout the VOLT exchanges, students asked questions, investigated volcanic areas, collaborated internationally, and built knowledge together instead of receiving information passively. The experience shows how learning gains meaning when students’ interests guide the process and when lessons connect to real world contexts.

VOLT Art Catalogue

This catalogue presents The VOLT Art Project, an artistic extension of the Erasmus+ project VOLT – VOLcanoes as Teachers, which connects schools in Italy, Greece, and Iceland located in remote volcanic regions of Europe. The project combines STEM exploration and artistic expression, encouraging students to study their local volcanoes and share their discoveries through both scientific and creative lenses.
