Project Summary

Our project ‘Living European Values’ was triggered by recent events in European politics, especially the Brexit and generally non-European tendencies. As the German school is a ‘European school’ it is naturally near to European developments and its implications. On a general European scale, discussing European values and guaranteeing their continuance and fulfillment are obviously common denominators. From this starting point, we want to introduce our students to the historical background of the EU to make them understand present developments. There will be about 60 pupils in the Erasmus+-clubs and 20 teachers taking part. The activities will include one great trip in each mobility (Strasbourg, Turin, Zamosc) to confront the participants with an important aspect of the project (Strasbourg: European Parliament, Turin: Italian architecture and art, Zamosc: designed by an Italian architect in Poland). The following workshops in the individual countries will focus on one or more of our sub-topics: geographical data, history, architecture, art and music, legends, cuisine and phrasebook. The outcome of the workshops will be documented in a project-lasting board game, which each country has to complete, and with a collection of different media (electronic and traditional ones).
The result of the project will be an extensive knowledge of all participants and ideally their school communities about all 27 European Union countries, thus making obvious the common European values and fostering a spirit of tolerance. The school communities at each of the participating schools will be able to witness the results in the Erasmus corners on a longterm bases. A much wider public will be able to check the Archive on our project on eTwinning and other media platforms long after the project is finished. The pupils and teachers will disemminate their experiences in the school community, at home and in their peer groups. They will henceforth act as multipliers.
