Project Summary

Project “Let’s share our small worlds” has 4 main objectives:
• To promote European values through national heritage and build European citizens of the future
• To update teaching and learning resources in the classroom by making them linked to demands of labour market and future needs (STEM, interdisciplinary learning, CLIL, PBL) to engage students in the learning process and raise their motivation to learn
• To enhance soft skills needed in the labour market such as collaborative learning and teamwork
• To environmental awareness
Teachers of all four schools noticed the need to connect learning process with everyday life so as to make students more motivated and engaged. Today’s students must be ready for the fast changing future labour market that is why we decided to share experience and ideas of innovative teaching from four different countries to build in partner schools new learning environments. We want to rise in students awareness of taking responsibility for their learning as well as to look for innovative ways for possible educational solutions while exchanging experiences and good practices that would be impossible to do in one country environment.
The participants will be carrying out activities related to topics closely connected with the school curriculum in languages, maths, ICT, geography and connect them with everyday life, ecology as well as national heritage with hands-on activities encouraging them to be innovative and creative. Activities will inspire youths to think and get to grips with problems connected with interweaving subjects. We want to make students aware and understanding of other cultures and own cultural heritage to make them open to people from other countries and less afraid of welcoming them. The tasks during the year and exchange visits are all built around project work designed to promote teamwork, leadership skills, new friendships and develop intercultural and social competencies. The increasement of level of inclusion in European society will be achieved by short time mobilities of students with Special needs. The project has also planned 10 long term mobilities between partner countries what makes it quite unique and attractive.
During the partnership students will learn in detail about their partners’ lives and culture. First period will be devoted to learning about school systems with such activities as:
• Quizzes from favorite subjects
• Presentation of school system with good and bad points
• Perfect school discussion panel
• Designing a perfect school and classroom
• Teacher training event: “School of the future”
Second period will be devoted to sharing local area. Planned activities include:
• “My favourite destination” etwinning activity
• “Tourist destinations of my country” presentation
• PBL project of a week to a World Heritage city of partner countries
• Teacher training event: “Innovative teaching tools. Use of Augmented Reality in Education and BreakoutEDU”
During third period we will share music and cuisine with activities:
• Multinational cookery book
• Song sharing eTwinning activity
• Educational Escape Room
• Master Chef contest
• Let’s sing together contest
• Escape Room activity final
• Teacher training event: “Project at work”
Final stage of the project will be devoted to literature and art and will include:
• Collaborative book writing
• Animated films of local legends
• Collaborative script writing
• Theatre play contest
• Teacher training event “CLIL in the bilingual classroom”
All activities and results produced during the partnership will promote acquisition of skill and competences needed on the labour market. They will also lead to acquiring and working upon such employability skills like responsibility, leadership, oral communication. The tasks are designed to promote teamwork, leadership skills, build new friendships as well as intercultural and social competencies. The innovation will be the use of PBL method in solving problems during the students mobility meetings as well as working with ICT tools. Teachers will share innovative language teaching methods and work on integration CLIL into curriculum to promote multilingualism. Teachers will also produce following concrete results:

1. Lesson scenarios of the activities during project meetings
2. Data base of applications, websites and other teaching resources.
3. Written procedures of longterm mobility
