Background

The scholastic institution, which operates in an arduous territorial and socio-economical context is engaged to face thegrowing phenomena of scholastic dropout. In its quality and jurisdiction as institution, the School has highlighted the necessity to operate in order to answer to the circumstances derived from the social and professional world. In particular, the need of an intervention in terms of modernity and internationalization of the school has been encountered in a vast extent. The school must become more attractive for the students, being able to offer a concrete action for the modern growth, inclusive and occupational, in conformity with the objectives aimed at in the European context. The scholastic personnel therefore intends to act incisively in the didactic methodology, using new technics able to motivate the students, improve the linguistic and digital competences of the scholastic community- fundamental for a basic formation in nowadays' society- ease the transition from the school world to the working one, in the context of the unified European market. All this action would contribute to reduce the school dropout significantly. The project aims to promote the renovation process of the didactic activity through the participation of selected teachers to formative classes abroad. The participants, with the prescribed requirements, are spotted in the basis of a specific and selective procedure. The activities that has been picked in the scheme of European development are the following: English language classes and CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning ) methodology, aiming to improve the general linguistic competences and to extend CLIL methodology to all the professionalism get disciplines. These classes on innovative didactic methodology will try to make the didactic more inclusive and attractive for their own students. More specifically, classes that have been individuated will concern the management of the classes (inclusion and contrast to the scholastic dropout), the acquisition of the conscience of the European dimension of the school, the use of the new methodology to facilitate the access of the students to the working world. Moreover, classes will aim to cover the digital competences/skills, aimed at developing the specific knowledges of the digital operator, at preparing the subject to management of the application of the technology to the didactic and at innovating the communication methods among professors and in a student-professor base. The staff that deploys the formation abroad will have to valorise experience within the school, through the transversal activities of internal dissemination/ redistribution, with the participation of all the colleagues, even those in different disciplinary fields. At the end of the formative process, it's previewed the organization of seminars and workshops, the creation of on-line archives for material and platform for the sharing of information within the school (e.g. through Moodle). The new competences are used also to lye out new projects or to adapt and improve the existing projects. The external redistribution is instead realized through public events at the beginning and the end of the project., with he widest inclusion of stakeholders, of the representatives of the European institutions on the territory, Europe Direct and Eurodesk, the main organs of the local press and the representative of the local institutions. The experience is shared with the other schools of the territory in the context of seminars.

The digital animator will moreover expand the audience of the activities and events through the main social network platforms.
