Project Summary

The project “Global Goals from a school Perspective” is based on previous international partnerships, where partners from different projects have agreed to commit to 17 Global Goals, because it makes sense – it’s important! The partnership consists of 4 partner schools based on geographically balanced countries in the EU: Denmark, Romania, Estonia and Spain. All are schools which vary in background and nature, which will further support the project by exposing our pupils to a greater variety that exists in our European community. All aspects aid to further support the aims of the project, which is to take steps towards a more sustainable way of living, break stereotypes, focus on equality between genders and develop a greater understanding in pupils of the diversity that belongs to our European community.
We quickly agreed that the topic 17 Global Goals could be a great working title. The Goals focus on sustainable development and no matter where you live, there will always be something we can do better. We want to focus on understanding, empathy, acceptance and being open minded towards a change in the way we live now and the way others are living. We want to focus on the personal commitment this project requires. We have to take it as a personal task to help change the world and support the sustainable development.
We believe that the activities chosen to be key topics in this project, make us able to implement the EU strategic objectives – literacy and active citizenship, but also values such as solidarity and non-discrimination and contribute to the harmonious and sustainable development of the European societies. We have chosen Global Goals which we believe are important for teenagers and pupils who are shortly to transfer to secondary school to engage in, because they are the future. Furthermore, we believe that the activities we have chosen will support the topics and the pupils in their learning process. We think that imagination and creativity are important stakeholders. All content of the Global Goals will develop the pupils understanding The Goals allow for further reflection in groups, pairs or just alone. Throughout the project teaching methods will be utilized to ensure pupils are active learners and encouraged to come to educated and reasoned conclusions.
Intercultural understanding is one of education and didactics most valued aims. It improves both cognitive and anthropological enrichment and broadens up our cultural horizons. Learning techniques chosen are cause and effect, compare and contrast, problem solving and thinking of options, fact and opinion, evaluating and persuasion/ deconstructing – all techniques that enables the pupils to think freely, to engage in the activities and to develop various skills. The impact will be pupils developing their social and cultural awareness of EU and realize that the development that comes with Global Goals, matters and that we can make a difference.The staff will have increased their knowledge about methodologies, training programs, educational instruments and practices. The schools have got a real international connection and have come a step closer to fulfilling the national curriculum for international cooperation and intercultural understanding.
Many results will be created: A shared website will provide a learning resource for the participating institutions and others. Google Platform will ensure that pupils and teachers alike will have an opportunity for collaborative learning ensuring that the results of the project are forever evolving as topics are researched. A linguistic resource will be developed to enhance the pupils and teachers awareness of foreign modern languages and will be a sustainable resource after the project has been completed. Many results will be produced: artefact resources of the countries, videos and presentations with information and learning areas to be utilized continuously in the future and booklets. The most important result of the project will be the broader, more accepting minds of our pupils, who appreciate their place in society and fully comprehend and utilize their role as global citizens.
It is our ambition that the partnership will develop awareness of the role that each individual plays, has played and especially will play in the future. We will assess the ways in which each institution develops during the project, compare data and by teaching, give the pupils an introduction and an alternative to their countries’ traditional life – the European life.
