Project Summary

We created this project for two main reasons: on the one side the idea of making our students feel more involved and interested in their learning process, thus improving their school outcomes and, on the other side, the desire to promote a successful dialogue among people coming from different countries in Europe.
We basically have two aims:
1) encourage our students to use computers and other technological devices for study purposes in order to increase their involvement in learning, and consequently their school results;
2) make students aware of what being European means, by exposing them to a multiplicity of ideas, values, principles, etc. as a way be become acquainted with an “united diversity”.
The schools that are taking part in this project are: IT, PL, RO, MK and TR.
OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of this project are:
1)to boost students’ motivation and help them to get better school results. This can prevent early school drop-out and can create a more positive environment where students can thrive.
2)to work on students’ soft skills such as ICT, teamwork, decision making, problem solving, flexibility; these skills are very much needed to meet the requirements of firms and employers.
3)to increase students’ curiosity about other countries and cultures and help them to accept diversity more easily. It brings a positive attitude that can lead to better understanding the challenges of our new era.
4)To improve communication skills in English; this is a valuable ability, very much wanted both for academic purposes and job roles.
5)to create cohesion among different European countries. This can help to build a true sense of belonging to Europe

NUMBER AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTS
The participants involved in this project will be 14-18 years-old students from each partner school. Some of these students will participate in at least one LTTA and will take part in all the steps of the project; all the other students will be involved in the project activities. Students are from different environments, ethnicities and religions, so that they all can learn from each other working together. Then 36 teachers will lead the students in the project, in particular ICT, Math and English.
METHODOLOGY
The project covers the following areas:
A1. Project management: each partner is supposed to follow the agreed upon timeline that summarize the activities and fix their duration and deadline.
A2.A team of teachers Math, Literacy, Languages, ITC and administrative staff, with the coordinator of each school will carry out and monitor the activities, starting with the selection of the students, then organizing preparatory workshop sessions and preparation for LTTA.
A3. As ICT is the main tool of the project, ICT sessions will be held, both for teachers and for students before, during and after LTTA. If some partner do not have the necessary knowledge, ICT “help” sessions can he held via webcam internationally; when possible, students can teach peers both nationally and internationally.
A4. Dissemination it will be planned in each partner school towards parents, involving local authorities and all the associations connected with each school; dissemination will be made through medias and internationally with every channel available. Participant students will be included in peer to peer activities to share their new competences and experience, in their school and outside.
A5. In each partner school, teachers take advantage of the materials created and of the new methods throughout regular classes. Achievement is evaluated comparing results and motivation attained by other groups of students taught without digital tools. Participants will peer-educate both in and outside the school
