Project Summary

Comparing the partner countries will find differences and similarities in customs, traditions and betrayals. This is the main objective of the project, which will lead to the mobility of students and teachers who will acquire an awareness of cultural identity, a necessary element for understanding different cultures and the ability to see and shape the world with a sense of identity that respects the others, appreciating the value of their past and their heritage in a variety of cultures. Among the priorities that promote the growth of young people, there will be language learning and multilingualism, which will play an essential role in competences as languages ​​open up many possibilities for all and remove obstacles to participation, education and European training. During the project period, the participants will improve their language skills in English and learn the basics of the languages ​​of all partners. A second priority will be the strengthening of the teacher’s professional profile with the acquisition of certain knowledge and through didactic training activities: they will improve their language skills and learn the basics of partner languages, improve ICT skills (WEB 2.0 and 3.0 tools) , communication tools, cloud storage methods, web page design, eTwinning), they will learn the CLIL method, the narrative methods and methods of using video-photographic reconstruction, teaching and learning methods through the comparison with the educational systems of the countries partner.

In addition to the team involved in the mobility, other students and teachers from each school will work on the project activities for the entire duration of the project.
