This project came about as a result of previous Comenius partnerships. The objectives of this project are to train staff to create, maintain and develop a Virtual Learning Environment ie a Moodle which will provide a safe, password protected environment for staff and pupils to communicate, work together and exhibit, exchange and evaluate completed work. The curriculum focus driving the Moodle forward will be acquisition of a second language and teaching/learning of the environment and environmental issues. The project will be child-centred right from the beginning with pupils being involved in planning the activities through the setting up of an Erasmus Plus committee in each school. Partners come from six European countries some of whom have previously worked together on past projects who include: Ireland, Northern Ireland, Finland, Spain, Greece and Italy. As a result of the project it is envisaged that staff and pupils will gain knowledge, skills, competencies which will enable them to travel for work and education hence Dissolving European Boundaries.

As a result of the project staff and pupils gained knowledge, skills and competencies which enabled them to use a Virtual Learning Environment, and to successfully obtain Green Flag status for their institutions. Staff and pupils travelled and experienced the culture and the education system of the hosting partner institutions and we believe this experience will benefit their Lifelong Learning.
