Project Summary

The project “I learn, you learn but together we double learn” arose from the necessity our partners for a change in their teaching methodologies used in their schools. These teaching methodologies were mainly based on the linguistic mode, different learning styles were not taking into account, we felt it necessary to change our teaching practice in order to cover all of our students’ necessities. Among others, our main aim was to enrich our teaching practice being trained on more modern methodologies such cooperative learning and multiple intelligence theories and that our project meant a turning point in our methodologies. Besides, we aimed the following:
