Project summary
The project was created in response to two basic needs identified at the level of the schools involved - the need to boost students' motivation and consequently their school results and the need to promote intercultural dialogue among people from different countries and backgrounds, in a European context which is now facing great challenges.
Therefore, the purpose of this project consists of two apparently distinct directions. On the one hand, we want to get students more involved in their own learning by having them use the computer in their studying, thus improving their results and performance. On the other hand, we want them to experience what it means to be European, to expose them to different ways of thinking, values and beliefs. The partnership includes 5 schools – Germany, Italy, Estonia, Greece and Turkey.
The aim of the project is to improve students' motivation, involvement and school results and to promote intercultural dialogue.
The objectives we envisage are:
- to involve students in their own learning with a view to attaining better results and becoming more motivated;
- to develop students' transversal skills - numeracy, computer literacy, critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability;
- to develop intercultural understanding and acceptance;
- to develop communication skills in English;
- to promote European values and develop cohesion among European citizens.
The students come from very diverse backgrounds - urban and rural - and have a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds, which makes the project even more appealing.
