Project Summary

First of all; we were four and not five partners; due to the fact that the UK resigned after application and before approval of the project.

At a time when more and more people do not believe in Europe anymore, we wanted this project to show how Europe is important to us and help our pupils to project themselves as European citizens.
To do so,they reported on their past, investigated aspects of their future and created links between European past and European future from a historical, cultural, architectural and political point of view.
For example, they reported on our historical heritage, on our « movers and shakers », on the main historical landmarks which helped building an European identity; but also cultural whether in art or architecture.
Our students made plans for the future. Where will they be in 10 years. What does the future look like for Europe?
As far as archtecture is concerned, the objective was to work on industrial buildings and their rehabilitation. We moved into the future and asked ourselves how can historic buildings be used in the future.
About 150 pupils were directly involved in the project but all students of the hosting schols had the possibility to attend the major events.
Our main objectives were to engage students in becoming better global citizens, help them have a better understanding of their own culture, of others’ cultures, to improve their skills whether in languages, ICT, public speech, communication. We tried to to prepare them for life beyond
school.
The ultimate objective was to make pupils who are doubting their abilities realize that they have many skills. This challenging and motivating European project further enhanced the qualities they already possess and taught them new skills and broadened their minds.
It was a highly motivating project for our students to be part of one team.
We created a mutual e-magazine, the blog, the etwining platform and our different
partnerships outside of school to achieve these objectives.
