Project Summary

We are 5 European schools that want to participate in our efforts to increase students’ knowledge and interests – Geography, History – on issues related to the cultural heritage of our country. Moreover, in a world where globalization tends to ignore their national heritage, we need our students to return to their roots, knowing the traditions and traditions passed down from generation to generation. Our opinion is that if you do not know your roots, you do not know your foundation, and if you do not know your foundation, you will never be successful. For this reason, we want our students to develop their patriotic feelings, to look at their backgrounds and origins, and at the same time to open their horizons to other cultures and features.
Each school participating in this preparatory activity will have at least 30 students and will work in groups on these topics. During exchanges, they will organize events with guests, make presentations, guide cultural visits, and create assessment forms for guests to see how effective their business is. After the exchanges, they will select and adjust the materials in the brochure titled “European cultural heritage”, which will be one of the outputs of the project, under the coordination of their teachers.
The main objective of the project is increasing the cultural and the intercultural awareness of all actors participating in its implementation. However, especially for students, we have set the following goals for them:
OS1. To increase the cultural awareness of at least 80% of students and to make them more knowledgeable about history, geography, literature, tradition, tradition, dance and music.
OS2. To increase intercultural awareness and competence of all students, to make them more knowledgeable about other European countries, history, geography, literature, traditions, traditions, dances, music.
OS3 Improve students’ ICT skills by enabling them to use mobile apps and online tools to create presentations, events, reviews, outputs
OS4 Developing transferable skills of students – communication, research and analysis, teamwork, adaptability, organization
OS5 Increasing students’ motivation for learning and self-confidence
C1 – Spanish Heritage (IT, Feb 2021) – Spanish students will organize activities for participants under the supervision of teachers. They create materials, make presentations, organize events, and evaluate participants based on what they offer them.
Following the same methodology, we will organize the following:
C2 – Bulgrian Heritage
C3 – The Porteguese Heritage
C4 – Turkish Heritage
C5 – The Polish Heritage
Students – the target group consists of approximately 1000 students, aged 12 to 14, 100 of whom are in need of special education. 150-200 of them will be selected as members of the working group (at least 30 / country, but the number may vary up to 40 depending on the size of the target group).
Teachers – their role is to collaborate the project and implement activities at all stages. English teachers will assist students in translating materials, Geography and History teachers will provide students with information selection, material preparation, presentations about their interests, etc.
Common tasks – implementation of the project activities according to the application form, dissemination, evaluation and monitoring, participation in online meetings, selection and preparation of participants, organization of a stock exchange, preparation of practical arrangements, evaluation of the meeting, creation of the “European Heritage” online output, students’ country blogs creation, contribution to the first and last survey, collection and interpretation of evaluation data, reporting to coordinators and NAs
2. Special missions

The project is expected to have a long-term impact on all interested parties:
– students become more responsible and motivated to learn. After working as a workshop organizer during exchanges, they will more appreciate their teachers’ efforts. They will develop self-confidence and motivation to improve school performance and participation in school activities.
– teachers will think their work works, so they will have a sense of satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment as they see that the students they have prepared are more autonomous and also well informed of the subjects they teach.
– school management will benefit from the positive atmosphere created among teachers, students and parents.
Institutions will benefit from good practices acquired and transferred t
