SITE project stems from the idea that the territory to which the school belongs provides it with important educational, cultural and sporting opportunities that can contribute to the creation of an "open" school both towards the local and international level. The partnership of the SITE project is made up of educational institutions that share the same aim, with the primary purpose of making their training offer much more professional, through the opportunity for students to acquire improved technical skills. The basic idea is to identify innovative methodologies resulting from teacher training on active learning methods and then apply them during the project. The students involved in the project are 15 and 16-year-olds enrolled in partner institutions who will contribute differently to the achievement of the project objectives during the mobility and through the e-Twinning platform. The 16-year-old students will undertake to carry out studies of the territories they belong to according to the subjects of their study plan (technical and measurable, tourism, histo rical-literary, biological and artistic). The 15-year-old students, on the other hand, will carry out studies relating to the sporting activities that today and in the past have affected the stretch of river, lake or sea that insists on the territory belonging to the institutes that make up the partnership. At the end of the works, through the e-Twinning platform the students will be able to make a comparison between the studies carried out in each of the countries involved and outline the common aspects and differences in order to increase their sense of belonging to the European Union and awareness of the value of European cultural heritage, as well as improving their use of the English language. Main objectives • Achievement of high quality entrepreneurial, linguistic and digital skills and competences to promote employment, socio-educational and professional development of students • Identification, by teachers, of innovative teaching methods and tools for active learning and for the use of modern information technologies • Increasing awareness of the importance of the European cultural heritage through education and sport Specific objectives • Improved technical and digital skills in the subjetcs of address of students in patner schools • Applied active learning methodologies in the SITE project concerned address subjects • Strengthened common identity through the identification by students of common aspects and differences in the approach of partner schools to their own territory Expected results • Production of studies of the territories to which schools belong from the geo-environmental, biological, tourist, historical-literary point of view, ?? and sporty • Application of active learning methods • Production of a comparative study of the different approaches to the river or lake or sea basins present in the territories of the partner institutes Attività • Joint training course for staff • Virtual mobility of students through e-Twinning (before and after short-term exchanges) • Short-term exchanges of pupils • activities of students who do not participate in mobility Methodology: 1. preparation: staff creation and preparation 2. implementation: staff mobility and student mobility 3. evaluation and dissemination of results Expected impact • Within schools, the aim is to achieve an improvement in the educational offer for students aimed at access to the world of work and greater openness of the school to the territory and to the EU • At local level, SITE intends to gain greater attention to the importance of the common cultural heritage and to the revaluation and protection of the territory and to inspire other subjects to formulate new project ideas and the creation of other partnerships for future projects • At regional and national level, SITE intends to draw attention to the theme of the territory opportunities, in relation to social and work aspects • At EU level, SITE aims to inspire others by showing what can be achieved in the context of Erasmus Plus Program and how is possible benefit from the activities and experiences gained through the program; inform and influence future policies; inspire the creation of new partnerships through Erasmus Plus and in other programs Long-term benefits • For students and staff: personal growth and benefits in terms of access to the labor market • For partner institutions: improved training offer, greater openness to the territory and to the EU and possibility to continue cooperation for new project ideas • Outside schools: increased attention to the themes of the European cultural heritage and the territory
The SITE project is based on the idea that the territory to which a school belongs offers it important training, and cultural and sporting opportunities that can contribute to the creation of a school that is "open" to both the local and international realities. The SITE project partnership is made up of institutes that share the same intention, with the primary aim of making their training offer much more professionalizing, through the opportunity for students to acquire improved technical skills. The project work first identified innovative methodologies resulting from teacher training on active learning methods and then saw their application during the project. The students involved in the project were boys and girls aged 15 and 16 enrolled in partner institutions who contributed to the achievement of the project objectives during the mobility and through the e-Twinning platform. The 16-year-old students carried out studies of the territories to which they belong based on the subjects of their study plan (technical-architectural, economic-tourism, historical-literary, biological and artistic). The 15-year-old students carried out studies relating to the sporting activities that today and in the past have involved the stretch of river, lake, or sea which insists on the territory to which the institutes belong. At the end of the work, the students compared the studies carried out and outlined the common aspects and differences, increasing their sense of belonging to the European Union and awareness of the value of European cultural heritage, as well as improving their use of the English language. General objectives: • Achievement of high-quality entrepreneurial, linguistic, and digital skills and competencies in order to foster employment, socio-educational and professional development of students • Identification, by teachers, of innovative teaching methods and tools for active learning and for the use of modern information technologies • Raise awareness of the importance of European cultural heritage through education and sport Specific objectives: • Improved technical and digital skills in the address subjects of the students of the partner schools • Apply active learning techniques in the subjects involved in the SITE project • Strengthened common identity through the identification by students of the common aspects and differences in the approach of the partner schools to their own territory Accomplished results: • Production of studies of the territories to which they belong from a landscape-technical, biological, economic-tourist, historical-literary, artistic and sporting point of view • Application of active learning methodologies • Production of a comparative study of the different approaches to the catchment area present in the territories of the partner institutes Performed activities: • Joint training course for staff • Virtual student mobility through e-Twinning (before and after short-term exchanges) • Short-term student exchanges • activities of students who will not participate in the mobility Methodology: 1. preparation: creation and preparation of staff 2. implementation: staff mobility and student mobility 3. evaluation and dissemination of results Impact achieved • Within schools: improvement of the training offer for access to the world of work and greater openness of the school towards the territory and towards the EU • At the local level: greater attention to the importance of common cultural heritage and to the revaluation and conservation of the territory and to inspire others to formulate new project ideas and to create other partnerships for future projects. • At regional and national levels: greater attention to the theme of the territory as an opportunity, in relation to social and work aspects • At the EU level: inspire others by showing what can be achieved under the Erasmus Plus Program and how they can benefit from the activities and experiences gained through the program; influence future policies; inspire the creation of new partnerships through Erasmus Plus and within other programs Long-term benefits: • For students and staff: personal growth and benefits in terms of access to the labor market • For partner Institutes: improved training offer, greater openness towards the territory and towards the EU, and the possibility of continuing cooperation for new project ideas • Outside schools: increased attention paid to the themes of European cultural heritage and the territory.
