Project Summary

The purpose of our project “High5” is to motivate students for a lifelong learning and thus tackling early school leaving and disadvantages. We will work with environment and climate goals and promote a comprehensive approach to language teaching and learning. We will do this by systematically using CL learning and various ICT-tools combined with crafts. We prevent exclusion through CL, which is based on cooperation. CL-learning make it easier for students with disadvantages. The choice of topic rests on the students’ interest in sustainability issues. Participating countries have different experience of working with CL structure. Finland has good results in PISA surveys and uses CT in its daily teaching. Finland will be responsible for assisting other participants. Sweden has a teacher who is also an environmental and health protection inspector who will be extra help with environmental / climate & health goals.

We have done a planning that is nearly followed by monthly activities. In addition, our mobilities, which all have links to the environment and health.

Participating countries in the project are Sweden, Italy, Spain and Finland. The age of the students is 11-16 years. We have geographical distribution, cultural differences and social differences both within our own school and partly among participating schools. This gives us good conditions for exchange. We will use many different ICT tools as an effect of gifts, but as crafts of a more traditional nature. All participants are public bodies. In mobility, each country will send 10 students and 2 staff, ie venue country will welcome at least 36 people. In total there will be 144 mobilities. The schools will participate in activities related to the project, such as Erasmus Day. The project will be disseminated through parents, several different social media, local actors such as newspapers, authorities among others.

We expect that we will get school-motivated students who become eager and socially secure and thus want to continue their studies. Students will feel involved in the EU and the societies in our different countries. They will see that we have more things common, than differences. Students will feel safe using another language in addition to their mother tongue, familiar with several ICT tools and gained a broader view of sustainability.
