Project Summary

Looking at our common history, this project has fostered quality improvement and innovation at the level of education delivering an innovative model of European memorial & peace education 2.0 and a learning curriculum through enhanced international collaboration between the partner schools and other educational providers.

Through this project the partners adressed the following needs of our schools:
– Students/pupils need instruments of historical literacy to read their history and so understand their future.
– Teachers, also in vocational secondary schools, need the space to teach why Europe today is not the Europe of a century ago and so explain what integration in Europe really means.
– Exploring the cultural background of war and peace during real life experiences in Europe the students have improved their knowledge, skills and commitment and increased their motivation in reading, researching and speaking of foreign lanuages.
– Focusing also on school leadership this project offered the schools and their staff members involved the opportunity to foster the attainment of young people, particularly those with migrant background and at risk of early school leaving because being part of families with low literacy.

Through this project the partner schools did not only foster quality improvement and innovation excellence at the level of education ad teaching but also their students have grown in well being at school. The project has strenghten the partner schools in their intercultural dimension within a European space for lifelong learning.

As the most tangible results of the project we have delivered a multilingual toolkit ‘Memorial & Peace Education 2.0’ at European level, gathering the best practices and tools of partner schools and integrating a set of ‘Guidelines for school leaders fostering inclusion and a literacy 2.0 environment at school and so preventing of Early School Leaving.
