Project Summary

We propose a project based on emotional education. We have detected an increasing need to work on aspects related to the emotional development of our students. our students are all primary school students and the age group is 7/10 and totally aabout 200 students will participate into the project with their parents written authorization. our methodology will be coopereative & collobareative learning ,Collaborative learning is a method of teaching and learning in which students team together to explore a significant question or create a meaningful project.
In society nowadays children are sometimes over stimulated. They receive a great deal of information from many different sources. Education is increasingly orientated at the technical and quantitative aspects of learning. The time dedicated to interpersonal relationships is less and less important in children’s everyday lives.
The current life and learning rhythm that our society imposes leaves aside a wide range of traditional values that used to be transmitted through social interaction, imitation of how to relate to each other and play as an irreplaceable means of learning.
We are faced with models based on individuality and a gradual shifting of the family as the main generator of emotional and behavioural learning. Therefore as a school we are challenged to transmit these basic values from our daily classroom routines.
We take this educaiton in the view of different subtopics of emotional education theser topics are cooperation, empathy, Social Initiation, emotional regulations

In primary classrooms there is a rich and innovative work plan that is carried out on a daily basis in an integrated way that helps students construct their personality, and identify and control their personal emotions and those of others. But, unfortunately once they begin the stage of primary education the high level of expectations and demands of our educational system drive our teachers to abruptly interrupt all this work pushing emotional education into the background.
Despite the fact the curriculum acknowledges the importance of emotional aspects, in practice we are left with little or no time to fulfil our mentoring satisfactorily. Teachers lack time to relate with their students and help them develop the basic values of coexistence, empathy and respect for oneself and towards others.
We aim at investigating through practice and impact on the training of our teaching staff in the different aspects related to emotional education. In this respect we are willing to develop and implement a programme that will involve the whole educational process of our students and in a way in which students cohesively and transversally can take advantage of the many opportunities offered to them on a daily basis in the school context to bring these aspects to life giving them the importance they deserve as an integral part of our educational strategies.
We are aware of the fact that the expectations of the current educational programmes reduce and considerably condition the time we have to carry out the objectives that we are considering in this project. Our intention is to optimise the resources that are available to us (time, material, organisational…) in order to carry it out in a realistic and practical manner.
