Most of our schools (from preschool to early secondary) are enrolled in the European and International Opening Project (POEI). In addition to this project, we want to take part in an ERASMUS+ partnership. This partnership is initiated by the Belgian school, and will include 2 French schools (one mainland and one Overseas department), Romania and Bulgaria Fostering and developing reading skills is a goal common to all. We would like, through a journey in literature and international exchanges, to promote, among our pupils, the pleasure of reading by developing their reading skills and enable them to acquire from a very early age attitudes of readers. Depending on their age range, the pupils from the different partner schools will be able to discover local and international literature, and study the similarities and differences between their cultures. The children will be able to exchange progressively on their discoveries, their acquired knowledge, their know-how and to build through these exchanges a rich literary culture. These exchanges (epistolary, videoconference, blogs, padlets) can be done in French or English. Preparing today's children for their life as active citizens of tomorrow is the fundamental mission of the school. Our goal is to develop and enrich our cultural identity by sharing it and discovering the others’. In addition, we would like to promote social diversity and encourage the pupils’ access to pluricultural and linguistic openness. Through the knowledge of the culture of the European countries and social codes, they will be able to communicate abroad or with foreign people in their native country. During this partnership, we will carry out a collaborative work with all our partners around the tales and legends of Europe. Teachers will be able to share and benefit from the contribution of different learning practices and experiences in the field of reading learning through the organisation of 7 short training events for teachers in each of the partner countries and exchanges and sustained communication on eTwinning. The pupils will be able to present books in abstract form, drawing, audiobook, dramatised readings, video, to arouse the desire to discover, swap selected bookcases according to their interest. They will be able to report the activities related to the project (media library, « cité du livre », famous place for a legend ...), to experience and make the partners and the families experience particular days in the school: market of the knowledge, European/Erasmus days ... Create a blog that will centralize actions carried out by all. All the classes of the partnership will work on the collaborative project of elaboration of a European collection of tales and legends. The families will be involved in this project and will be able to participate in enriching these exchanges. Everyone will have the opportunity to discover, experience and share European culture, and take part in a real human experience. This project will be progressive and evolving according to the learners’ ages. Not only will it develop language skills, readers' skills but also offer a cultural openness to the world. Both oral and written communication will promote self-confidence.
This partnership was initiated by the Belgian school (Petit-Roeulx). It brought together schools from Bulgaria (Shumen), Metropolitan France (St Malo), Romania (Petrosani) and Sweden (Limhamn). Promoting and developing reading skills is a common goal for all. We have embarked on a journey through literature and international exchanges in order to encourage our students to enjoy reading while developing their skills and allowing them to acquire reading attitudes from an early age. Depending on their age group, the pupils from our different partner schools were able to discover local and international literature, and study the similarities and differences between their cultures. The children gradually exchanged on their discoveries, their acquired knowledge, their know-how and built through these exchanges a rich literary culture, in French, in English and in their own mother tongue. If preparing our children for their life as active citizens of tomorrow is the fundamental mission of the school. Our objective has been to develop and enrich their cultural identity by sharing it and discovering the one of others while promoting social diversity and our pupils’ access to multicultural and linguistic openness. Thanks to the knowledge of the culture of European countries and social codes, they communicated with the foreigner or with foreigners in their country of origin. During this partnership, we carried out a collaborative work with all our partners around the tales and legends of Europe. Teachers have shared and benefited from the contribution of different practices and learning experiences in the field of learning to read through the organization of 6 training events for teachers in each of the partner countries and exchanges and communication supported on eTwinning. The students designed, produced and presented books in abstract form, drawing, audio book, theatrical readings, video, which aroused the desire to discover, to visit libraries according to their interests. They reported on the activities linked to the project (media library, city of books, famous place of a legend...). They experienced and made partners and families experience special days at school: knowledge market, European/Erasmus days... All the classes in the partnership worked on the collaborative project to develop a European collection of tales and legends. The families were associated with this project and contributed to the enrichment of these exchanges. Everyone had the opportunity to discover, live and share European culture, and to take part in a real human experience.
