The project had to respond to a need for European knowledge allowing an in-depth discovery of the school systems of each participant. Our primary objective was to increase the skills of teachers and students on the values of the European Union based on : inclusion, European citizenship, culture and sustainable development. Faced with the current challenges, we were convinced that Europe embodies the values of inclusion, fairness and equality and is therefore a source of hope for our young people. The pooling of our thoughts was thus an opportunity to improve our practices and knowledge. Each institution has been enriched by the experience of its partners through workshops, guided tours, videoconferences and immersion in the host country.
We applied for this project because of our institution's interest in international cooperation and exchange with other countries and cultures. In addition, the mobility opportunities offered by the project allowed the students to have a more precise vision of the European Union and to actively contribute to transnational activities. Thus this project has led to: - Strengthen intercultural competences (better understanding of European cultural differences) - exchange our pedagogical practices (share and compare teaching methods and pedagogical approaches) - discover and reflect on an improvement of our school systems (analysis of differences and similarities: inclusion, sustainable development, etc.) - Promoting students' civic and civic engagement (organisation of forums and workshops on the rights and responsibilities of European citizens)
