Being aware that European schools have to tackle with an imminent pedagogical innovation in our classroom, not only in terms of ICT but new pedagogical approaches and methods that imply a significant change in how we teach in our classrooms. New approaches determine a more active and meaningful learning process, that invites students to participate in their learning process and apply their knowledge and skills in real life. The project′ s methodologies/activities are very interesting and challenging for all partner schools because all partners are interested in the innovative methods proposed by the project's objectives. The partners are also in a permanent search to find new methods of teaching-learning skills in a interdisciplinary manner. We want to educate students who are able to work and live in diversity accepting differences of culture, religion, socio-economic status and skills, so that we will implement cooperative working in our activities. . It is known that Education is the key to integrate all these children with a poor economic situation and with a lack of opportunities in our society. This project is a way to show to all these children that they are part of a community, a society and that they can work for changing their future opportunities. We are strongly convinced and want to implement inclusive education in our schools in order to offer an opportunity to everyone. Our students will be Primary school learners between 9 and 12 years old. We will be developing similar activities bearing in mind students age, skills, abilities (inclusive education). Even though we will develop similar activities , results, adaptations needed and products can be different but this is what really interests us: seeing how a similar activity can be developed in different ways depending on students' characteristics. In other occasions we will be using the same ICT tools but the product will be different, so teachers will have a wide range of ideas to work with ICT tools in the future. Our main objectives are: -Improve: Digital competence. -Improve : Communicative competence in a foreign language. -Foster inclusive education. -Introducing and developing new methodological approaches. -Applying cooperative work. -Teacher team work. Students from all schools will take an active participation in every activity throughout this project. Special needs students and students with a low social-economical situation will develop the same activities as their classmates but some of they will be adapted in level and demands thanks to the fact that ICT allows teachers to either simplify or adapt the activities to children's skills. It is really important that these children feel part of the group and see that they can do the same as their classmates. We are implementing inclusive education. That’s why the activities will be developed in cooperative learning-teaching methodologies. Teacher will apply new technologies and approaches to improve their teaching and lessons. They will plan a set of activities in which their students can apply contents taught in class and develop different activities to improve their knowledge in all subjects. School's staff will be asked to participate in the activities that children will develop. School staff is really worthy because they help teachers in administrative issues. We will involve parents and we will ask for vtheir active participation cause as members of our educational communities they are really worthy. Local institutions and schools will be informed about the project, activities and results in order to consider them in future educational actions in town. Other schools in our towns will be also informed about the project and will be invited to our schools to see how the project is being implemented. The results expected are: - Didactics units based on new approaches and cooperative working. -Spread the lifelong learning thinking in our students and teachers team. - Spread the cooperative work between our students and teachers team, and between any students or teachers from abroad. The expected impact this project will have on students is the improvement in students' learning process integrating cooperative work and social values. The expected impact this project will have on teachers and schools is introducing new and innovative teaching methods, establishing cooperative work with staff of partner schools, integrating teachers from various subjects involved in this project, strengthening a teamwork and integrating ICT in lessons. The expected impact this project will have on parents is fostering parents participation in school activites and projects. We also want that our project has impact and influence in our local community, region and country. Moreover in Europe and at international level. This project is just the beginning of a long and nice cooperative work between our schools and any new school is welcomed to join our team in future projects.
