We wanted to promote the student's cultural knowledge which includes the awareness of local, national and European cultural heritage . We wanted to make them live experiences and emotions, to promote their personal attitudes where ICT and Web 2.0 tools would help the peer collaboration along the development of the project. We wanted to consolidate their knowledge of common values, civic engagement and participation. One of the main goals of this project is the use of the Holistic approach that recognizes the social, emotional and physical needs of students and not simply their academic and cognitive ones. And the principle of Equality and non-discrimination, which recognize that different groups may need additional supports in a respectful ambience free of prejudice.
English, this language is taught by traditional methods, our students learn to write, to read and translate but they have difficulty in the interactive stage. The schools of the partnership, try to give a great impulse to the students participating in European projects. We applied for this project to give them the opportunity to practice English in a real context, implementing their interactive skills. Furthermore , as the cooperation happened mainly through web tools, we wanted to develop in the students those skills that they will need in a future approach in the labour market. Last, through the experience, we wanted that the students find different channels where to address their interests, so to tackle learning disadvantage and early school leaving. We wanted, for the first time, to talk about inclusion, working inclusivity in education in our schools, and including SEN' s students, in order to give them more quality learning environments, but also on welcoming and caring schools and classrooms.
