Project Summary

« Mission to Mars Project » aims at gathering and work together student from two schools : Jean Mace Junior High School in Perpignan, France and Ve. Ignazio Capizzi Instituto Superiore in Bronte, Italy. In both schools, many students are in trouble and do not feel concerned by knowledges proposed by the educative teams. Therefore, « Mission to Mars Project » plans to propose innovative activities in a different context. During three years, the students will be proposed specific and practical learning activities. They will have to observe, explore, build and manipulate item in relation with astronomy and space exploration. Furthermore, they will discover stories, movies and websites related to the project. They will work on Internet on a wiki, and thus to collaborate with their foreign peers. For sure, all the experiences and travels in a foreign country will bring a real interest, enthusiasm and motivation to them. We also are sure that the fact of being in the center of a device as interesting as an Erasmus+ Project will help to enhance their self image. We want to get these students more interested in school and more involved with their comrades and their teachers. We also desire to propose an innovative and multidisciplinary work complying with the new College Pedagogical Programs. Indeed, our Project pedagogical contents fits with the Interdisciplinary Practical Teachings and Individual Coaching. Our pupils will be able to value their work on the Brevet National Diploma on the spoken session.
