The LAST2 project involves three schools coming from France, Italy and Bulgaria. These schools, work already together, include students with special needs, whether it is for socioeconomic reasons or because of a handicap. For these pupils , the teachers have to find original solutions to integrate them into the school system to avoid the early school leaving. The participation in an Erasmus project has already shown us how it could be enriching and rewarding for all the pupils and the teachers. This project has for objective to set up innovative and successful educational activities in writing using history of Arts. This to improve the results of the pupils - and in particular Students with specific needs - to ensure that they have mastered this skill prior before entering secondary school. More specifically, mobilities concern 90 pupils between 9 and 12 years old and their teachers. But other school teachers as well as School Life Assistants will also be involved, either to organize the activities or to exchange on the teaching practices observed. The proposed activities are based on a cultural aspect specific to each country, which serves as a starting point for writing and arts workshops. Student competency will be assessed at the beginning and after each key phase of the project during writing challenges. The mobilities will be carefully prepared, a real (letters) and virtual (Visio-conference) correspondence will be organized between the students. An introduction to the languages of the three countries concerned will be organized. The expected result is the edition of a book, illustrated by the students collecting the various stories written during the project. We believe that this project will have a positive impact on teachers' knowledge and teaching skills; the knowledge and skills of students in writing production. We also believe that this project will result in better integration of students with specific needs, with everyone working together to achieve a common goal. Meetings will be organized for families, municipal teams and the local educational community. The activities planned during the mobilities will be shared on a dedicated e-twinning site. The results will be disseminated via school websites and local media.
The LAST2 project involved three schools from France, Italy and Bulgaria. These schools, which were already working together, welcome a number of students with academic difficulties, whether for socio-economic reasons or because of a disability. These students ask teachers to find creative solutions to help them integrate into the school system and avoid dropping out. Participation in an Erasmus plus project has already shown us how rewarding and motivating this can be for all students and their teachers. This project aimed to set up innovative and effective pedagogical activities in the production of writings throughout the history of the arts. This is to improve student outcomes - especially for students with special needs - to ensure that they master this skill before they enter high school. In particular, 90 pupils aged 9 to 12 and their teachers were involved. But the other teachers of the schools as well as the School Life Assistants were also involved, whether to organize the activities or to exchange on the pedagogical practices observed. The activities were based on a specific cultural aspect for each country, which served as a starting point for writing and visual arts workshops. Students’ skills were assessed at the beginning and after each key step of the project during writing challenges. The mobilities were carefully prepared, a real correspondence (letters) and virtual (videoconferencing and email exchange via the e-twinning platform) was organized between the students. An introduction to the languages of the three countries concerned was organised. A book, illustrated by the students, gathering the various stories written during the project was edited and distributed. We believe that this project has had a positive impact on the teachers' knowledge and didactic skills; and on the students' knowledge and skills in writing production. We also believe that this project has allowed a better integration of students with specific needs, everyone having to work together to achieve a common goal. Meetings were held for parents, municipal teams and the local educational community. The activities planned during the mobilities were shared on the dedicated e-twinning site. The results were disseminated via school websites and local media (newspapers and local television). The project was also the subject of a report on a French national channel, at the 1 pm Broadcast News on Europe Day.
