Creating and comunicating Europe

We are three partners taking part in the Project “CREando y Comunicando Europa”, CRECE: Liceo Statale Giordano Bruno, from Italy, Liceul Teoretic Bilingv Miguel de Cervantes, from Romania and IES Trassierra, from Spain.The project will be developed in Spanish. Italian students learn Spanish as foreign language and Romanian ones study it as a second language. IES Trassiserra is the coordinator school, the Romanian one is recognized as eTwinning school, and the Italian partner takes part in a Erasmus+ project for their first time. Students between 14 and 16 will take part in the mobilities, but obviously the more students participate in the activities at school, the more successful will be our project because it is very necessary for all of them to get concerned about the environment and the society where we live in, which are changing so quickly. The main topics of the project migrations, gender differences and cultural heritage. We also think that ICTs are very important to develop the key competences. In that way the aims of the project are: - Develop transversal skills such as the ability of thinking critically, taking initiative and solving problems through a collaborative work. - Get concerned about social and educational value of European cultural heritage, its contribution to job creation, economic growth and social cohesion. - Get concerned about the importance of equality and respect between men and women. - Develop skill related with ITC tools and integrate them in the curricula. - Develop communication skills in Spanish. - Know how Spanish language is taught in other countries. - Get close the students to new ways of artistic communication trough visual poetry and video. The most important activities will be carried out in the mobilities: recording and editing radio podcasts and videos, and creating visual poetry. Afterwards, all the products will be uploaded to internet in order to be shared and disseminated. We expect that the results have been: -Knowing directly other ways of learning Spanish language and kwnowing that Spanish language and culture are getting more and more important in other EU countries. - Teaching subject to work in the classroom skills and contents related to the topics of the proyect. It has been worked during the two fist years of the proyect. -Activities and final products. Interviews to writers, podcasting and visual poetry workshops, meetings with University Erasmus students, interactive works in schools, such as reading poems in the three languages of the partners, performances about women philosophers. - All the activities done by means of digital platform - An interactive album in eTwinning about the international meetings in different forms (bookcreator, videos, etc.) - A cultural guide about each school environment, showing places and events not showed in traditional guides. - The exhibition of the art work in the schools (school magazine, Erasmus corner, shool webs, parents association, etc.) - A Youtube channel to dissemiate the video works Our main purpose is that these innovating activities are included in the curricula, so that students and teachers can use them easily. More and more of them are already using radioo podcast, for instance. We would like to do the same with the other creative techniques. Our purpose was using and improving the resources used in coordinator school (video and podcast about films and books). We expect that the same happens with visual poetry. The most important idea was to share thes good practices with other schools. Another important point is the possibility of working together with any of the partner of the proyect and so it happens. Next month we visit our romanian partner to start another interesting proyect about commom legendary past in literature. Our students are the future European citizens, so they have to learn about human rights, gender equality, cultural heritage, etc. Definitely if we want a better Europe we have to educate values and a culture in defence of human rights.
