Project Summary

In the “LERNe ALLe TAGe”/”Learn Every Day” project, schoolchildren of the Austrian “Bundesgymnasium und Bundesrealgymnasium Graz Kirchengasse” and the Italian “Liceo Scientifico Statale N. Copernico” in Brescia deal with the topics of everyday learning and the connection between people and nature in the foreign languages ItalianGerman and the visual arts. The schools have had a partnership in the language sector for many years and have often worked together successfully. For the first time, this partnership is to be raised to a new level with an Erasmus + project and expanded to other subjects. The two-year project will involve 29 students from upper secondary level (14-18 years) from both schools who have already learned Italian or German as a foreign language over a longer period of time. The project teams of both schools are led by teachers who have often worked on joint projects and are expanded by teachers from the fields of languages and art. The goals of the project are that the pupils expand their foreign language skills, learn more about everyday learning in the interaction between people and nature at the partner school – especially under the conditions that have now been significantly changed by COVID-19 – and learn about how to process those experiences in the foreign language as well as on an artistic-creative level. The pupils collect impressions from their everyday learning life and the role of nature in it, for example in the form of texts, videos or audios, exchange those impressions with their partners and use them to create artistic products on the one hand and texts and other multimedia products in the respective foreign languages on the other hand. These results will be made permanently visible in both schools in audio-visual presentation boards, which are also designed as part of the project, and they will be incorporated into teaching materials for foreign language teaching, which the students will create with professional support from experts such as the project manager on the Austrian side and textbook author Marianne Langwieser-Posawetz. For this purpose, preparatory and follow-up work will be carried out heavily on eTwinning, while mutual visits to Graz and Brescia will primarily serve to gain experience and impressions in the partner country and to work together on the conception, planning and creation of the end products. These will be presented to the public in a final meeting in Graz, with a special focus on reaching foreign language teachers. Not only will pupils benefit from the intensification of the partnership, which will go on in the future as well, in the long term through the improvement of their foreign language skills and artistic expression, but also both schools will do so. The products that are produced also have a high lasting value inside and outside the schools involved. The teaching materials that will be created as part of the project will be disseminated and used in both schools and beyond in foreign language teaching. The art work created will be exhibited in both schools. The multimedia boards that are set up at both locations remain visible in the school buildings and can also be used to present other school-related content or products from all students.
