Project Summary

Language is more than mere communication; it is a tool for thinking, for the intelligentsia, for culture and history. Linguistic poverty has always been around the youth, thought not limited. The project Lexipedia contributes to the linguistic education of teenagers and the development of their vocabulary in a highly attractive way. The project motivated students, educators and agencies in Greece, Hungary and Romania. It aimed to plan, realize and assess a vocabulary bee, with contestants high-school students between the ages of 13 and 14.
At least 90 students were directly engaged with the project, in addition to a number of supporting actors.
In a number of distinct phases, the project managed the creation of a lexicon, its translation, the training of the spelling bee contestants by enriching their vocabulary and their knowledge, the contests and, finally, the Greek, Hungarian, Romanian and English editions of a report that presented the process and the results of the vocabulary contest scheme. Proper feedback and dissemination, as well as future applications, were of high importance, thus all partners acted accordingly by promoting the educational tools in the three member states and beyond.
