Project Summary

[en]The project RUSH was co-shared and implemented by 8 institutional partners (schools and local authorities at provincial, regional and transnational level) and mainly involving 3 European countries: Italy, Spain and Croatia.
The project was designed to respond to one of the main keys at a European level: the application of multilingualism within training courses.
The purpose of the RUSH project manifested itself through the creation of 2 fundamental Intellectual Ouputs:
the creation of an online database relating to multilingual experiences in the training field;
the creation of a shared framework relating to the model for the certification of the skills of the multilingual teacher. In this case, the final outcome is represented by a multilingual publication – digital and paper – which in addition to retracing the basic assumptions of the action research, defines the aspects characterizing the multilingual teacher in Europe 2020. The training proposal has been completed with a rich repertoire of didactic practices carried out in the schools involved.
were involved in the project:
– about 500 primary and lower secondary school pupils;
– 50 teachers or educators
– 20 Directors or staff managers
Languages ​​used (both in the exchange phase with the students and in cooperative activities between teachers): Italian, Gallego, Castellano, Croato, Friulano, Istroveneto.
For documentation and correspondence, Italian and English were used as well.
The action research activity allowed an in-depth comparison between the different territorial practices on topics related to the context of the subject matter:
– jurisprudence and language policies (national and regional) in force in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Gallizia and Istria;
– the qualifications (cultural, professional and scientific) required of the multilingual teacher in the three territorial realities under study;
– the teaching-learning methodology and strategies adopted in the plurilingual context in first cycle schools (age of learners 6-14 years).

The experience has made it possible to create training modules transversal to key competences through integrated language and content learning (CLIL) with the use of information and communication technologies in the first cycle schools also because, in the last part of the path, of the restrictions due to the Covid-19 emergency.
Another goal of the project achieved with a positive outcome is linked to the growth and professional development of the teachers involved (growth of the skills needed in a multicultural society in general, growth of teaching and language skills in particular). Actually, an international professional practice community has been established for self-training and training.
The 2 expected Outputs were created:
– the creation of an online documentation resource center https://rush.education/;
– the creation of the guidelines for the multilingual teacher.
The activity started with the RUSH project is continuing even after the end of the project deadline with the involvement of other groups of students, other teachers and other topics of interest.
Institutional stakeholders are involved in the activity by periodically promoting updates on the development of training experiences.
