Welcome to Kungshamn
– Åsen school and project Eureka.
Eureka is the name of a project which has been active in
Kungshamn – at the Åsen school – since September 2002. Eureka’s purpose is
to integrate various forms of artistic expression, such as art, music, dance
and drama, with teaching - thereby forming a bridge between concrete and
abstract thought processes.
The project was initially financed by the organisation
Framtidens Kultur and by
Sotenäs Local Authority. Since 2005, Sotenäs Local Authority
is acting as the main source of
financial support. We also get finincial support from Bovallstrands Rör AB
and SMögens Havsbad.
Since 2003, we’ve been employing a method which has come to play an
increasingly important role in our work. This is the
Ronnie Gardiner Rhythm Method, RGRM, which
is a multisensory rhythm exercise.

NEWS: There is a recent written book available about the project´s basic ideas and relation to actual research. There are also descriptions of how to plan lectures where art has a central role in education. It can be downloaded here as PDF.
In the Autumn of 2005, a book of inpiration based on experiences from the project, written by project leader Gunnel Berlin, and with illustrations by the children involved, was published by Ekelunds (Gleerups).
We were awarded the prize for best schools development project at the schools forum in Stockholm, Sweden, which was held during the period 30 October – 1 November 2006.
Aside from the project’s
everyday work with students and the school’s own teaching staff, we organise
courses for teachers, student teachers and other interested parties. Please
contact us by e-mail for
further details.
