The main goal of the project is the comprehensive development of the school and the improvement of teachers' competences. The aim is also to provide better prospects for students from rural areas at risk of exclusion. Detailed goals of the project: 1. Improving the English language skills of 12 teachers by one CEFR level and improving the language competences of 3 foreign language teachers. 2. Introduction of CLIL elements to teaching three subjects and continuation of CLIL in grades I-III 3. Implementation of at least 8 new teaching methods (including 4 ICT methods) for learning foreign languages in grades I - VIII in order to increase students' motivation to learn. 4. Establishing international cooperation with three schools and starting the implementation of two projects 5. Enriching the school calendar of events with at least three European events promoting ecology, equality, tolerance and multiculturalism from the 2022 school year
The Public Primary School in Łopiennik Nadrzeczny is a rural school with 237 students. We have a large group of students with problems related to motivation, lack of authority, exclusion, manifestations of xenophobia and intolerance. Students achieve low results in eighth-grade exams. The implementation of the project changed the current situation by improving the competences of the staff. Our teachers offer students innovative methods. They engage students in interesting and developing projects. The school organizes local events promoting the cultural and national diversity of European countries. Teachers learned and introduced modern methods of learning foreign languages. The implementation of the Erasmus+ project "Let's Get to Know Europe Together" was a step towards European cooperation, which has so far been carried out to a limited extent. The pandemic and other factors beyond our control have resulted in the relaxation of international contacts established in the past. The implementation of the project allowed employees to establish direct contacts.
