Project Summary

The essence of this project is our mutual wish to teach and make understood to our pupils the importance of being open to the other ones. All the partners’ schools believe that knowing our own culture and its particularities, firstly, will then help our pupils to discover and get interested in others cultures, from other countries. It is a way of questioning ourselves about differences and similarities between each others. More globally, the target is to help our pupils to build and develop a feeling of an European culture through the discovering of 5 others cities partners in this project: London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Tallin.

First of all, the beginning of our project is to make (re)discovered to our pupils their neighbourhood, their area. This is the first step of our project: our pupils will be encouraged to look at the facades of their neighbourhood buildings, the shops, the places of interest around where they live and describe it in a characteristical way. Then, our pupils will go farther, discovering their all city and even around it, to discover and experiment the famous monuments and the different kind of transport.
It is through the exchange of pupils’ productions from each partner schools that our pupils will discover the others cities and their heritage. Finally, it is through the gastronomy that this discovering of other cultures will be completed.

The main target of this project is to motivate our pupils and make them actors of their learning through the study of “concrete” subjects, close to their life. During all the activities of the project, our pupils will have to call up multidisciplinary competences likes linguistical, technological or artisticial competences, for example.

The pupils’ productions will be valorised in different exhibitions in their schools, in public places from each city, in each school websites and twin space created in etwinning for this project. It is through this diffusion and the local partnerships created along this project that we all wish to encourage, develop and participate in the discussion and valorisation of our European culture.
