Project Summary

The goal of the project was to increase the awareness of diversity among various groups of people. This was accomplished by each partner school by creating a presentation about the culture, history and heritage of its city and its country. Participation was extensive between all of the partner cities by the use of webinars. As a result of the webinars the cost of the participation was relatively low. Each partner had the responsibility of creating a program to inform the other partner school.
There were five countries involve in the project: Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey, Romania and Italy (Sicily).
The webinars were conducted on a bi-monthly basis. The goal of the webinar was to educate the partner schools about the history, customs and traditions in the participating countries. Each partner school received information and was responsible for the education of the non-participating schoolmates about the partner schools. This was accomplished through an informational meeting, article in a local newspaper, school publication or via any other source.
Each partner school had a team leader who was responsible for the progress and the flow of information and for the preparation of the webinar. It was expected that each partner school prepared three webinars in the length of one hour each and each partner school also had to present one webinar bi-monthly.
The project results were available for free and accessible to the public thereby providing a long term benefit for all parties who might later have interest in learning about the various results. It was also the desire to raise awareness of all participants of the various cultures of Europe.
The project consisted of the following:
Year 1 – History of the community and the region. This conducted via research and through the direct interview of family members who had had their experiences from the past 50 years. The were published in an informational book and e – book too.
Year 2 – Traditions and customs of the country. This was done via personal experience of the participants and also through research. The biggest holiday of each country was presented through the creation of a DVD which should highlight the specific celebration.
Year 3 – Traveling in the region of the community. The results were published in the form of a guidebook.

It is supposed that all these final products will be used during the English lessons as well as other subjects to broaden knowledge and horizons.
