Our proyect " Flying Words" aim to be a nexus between schools from different countries where we can develop stories with students from 3 to 12 years old through different idioms and begining from a mutual image that we wil add different elements. We will use the word as a recourse for giving different cultural values and promoting the apprenticeship without discrimination beggining with the interchange of experiences and using the TICS. We can say that this project is innovative because it will allow us to study the different methodologies that are being applied in different countries and through the analysis of results we will be able to find the best way of adapting new teaching methods to improve social and linguistic competence in both our pupils and teachers. Other reasons why our project is innovative are: 1. Starting from an image and the creation of a microtale we are going to make a journey where the word will travel through different communicative channels: visual, audio, graphic, gestural... created in the school environment. 2. We will use collaborative learning as a technique for the development of the project, trying to maximize the use of activities where students need to help each other, inside a teaching-learning context. 3. To step from a communicative environment to another we will use some of the thinking skills proposed by Robert Schwartz with the purpose of developing critical, analytical and creative thinking in our pupils. This project has the added value of european dimension, since we address the same needs that take place in the schools regardless of their geographical location and the fact of approaching common aims in different educational systems, with different curricular frameworks, different methodologies...

“FLYING WORDS” PROJECT SUMMING UP 2018-2020 The primary aim of our project has been the union between different schools in the world, by writing stories starting from an image. To appreciate cultural diversity, we have used the word’s creativity, learning without discrimination and sharing experiences. This project has been innovator for the implicated schools because new technologies have been applied. The results have been positive, improving educational methods, students’ linguistic competence and social attitude. PROJECT PROGRESS: It had two main parts: 1. Teachers’ methodological innovation: The infant-literature expert (Eva DiagoEgaña, teacher at Ceip “El Cruce de Castilla” Spain) has taught us the Robert Schwartz methodology in a seminary. It is about how creating stories and we have improved students’ creativity, linguistic competence and critic thought by collaborative work. 2. Students’ behavior: we have achieved a strong union between students from different schools through the writing competence. Students have created short stories by starting with the same image and using a critic thought. By doing this, students have used collaborative learning, because they have helped each other. Finally, they have created comics and endless stories. In order to work with different kind of language, we have used the abilities proposed by Robert Schwartz, improving our students’ creativity, linguistic competence and critic thought. Moreover, this project has had the additional European value. We all have worked over the same necessities and objectives, regardless of the geographic location, the educational system or the methodologies used. This way, we have created a global project between different cultures and different schools. The objectives achieved have been: - To promote the awareness and the multicultural incorporation of students from 3 to 15 years old, teachers and local communities in the different countries that have participated through the creation of stories. - To develop the values of European citizenship based on understanding, mutual respect and tolerance with other nations. - To develop children's imagination and initiative using collaborative participation strategies and thinking routines. -Develop interpersonal communication skills: teamwork, responsibility, negotiation and cooperation in a project in which students and teachers have identified with each other - Our students have been able to value the cultural differences of other countries and have awakened interest so that through knowledge, they can grow as people. - Students with social and cultural needs have been included, integrating them in a project where the differences are an added value, due to the existing diversity - Different experiences have been shared on negotiation methods and teaching in the participating countries about creativity, problem solving, initiative, use of ICTs and cultural traditions. - Stories have been created that convey universal values and promote intercultural and multicultural inclusion. THE WORK PROCESS: Three of the four transnational meetings between partner countries have been held, (the fourth meeting was cancelled due to the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic). In these meetings we have carried out a training of the seminar of literary creation and a sharing of each planned activity, we have given guides for the development of the work, and we have used digital tools to show each activity of the project. The results of the project have been disseminated in different media by the different schools and have been published on the schools' websites and in Etwinning.
