The main aim of the project was to shape digital and key competences through photography, including, above all, the creativity of the students. The main objective of the project was linked to specific objectives that concerned students as well as teachers. The main specific objectives for the pupils were, in short, to learn the secrets of taking good photographs using the right framing, light and other means of expression, and to learn about photography techniques, copyright or the construction of the camera itself. With photography, we wanted to develop the pupils' basic competences in the project: teamwork, cultural awareness, motivation, creativity, sensitivity, tolerance, assertiveness and problem-solving skills. We wanted to familiarise pupils with the international environment and we wanted them to build friendships and acquaintances with respect for cultural differences. The teachers' specific objectives focused on the exchange of experiences on how to implement the core curriculum in an attractive way using photography. Teachers participated in the creation of innovative handouts and lesson plans using photography, thanks to which the motivation of pupils to work will certainly increase.
Through the project, we wanted to respond to the change in schools due to the digital evolution for which schools were not prepared, and this is mainly about new methods and forms of work in schools using digital tools. The Covid-19 pandemic made it necessary for schools to use digital tools, teachers were not always able to use digital education tools in remote teaching, which resulted in problems with adapting teaching methods and forms to the needs of students, and remote education was not followed by teaching methodologies, which could result in reduced motivation of students to work and thus reduced effectiveness and quality of teaching. Therefore, one of the aims of the project was to create interesting methods and forms of teaching using digital tools and, above all, photography. Today, most pupils use cameras, which are an integral part of everyday life, and pupils take a lot of photos, sometimes without knowing the basic principles of photography. Through the project, we wanted to give pupils basic knowledge about the basics of photography and the principles of taking good photos, while at the same time showing them that they can use their phones in an interesting way in the classroom.
