In the first year of the partnership,the project aims at increasing the knowledge of our nearest past. From a regional and European perspective we can be aware of the achievements that the European Union has brought to our daily life and compare them with the Europe our grandparents knew. Customs, politics, arts, education, environment and others are the topics we’ll use to show how Europe has changed during the last fifty years. In the second year, we’ll reflect about the Europe we’d like to build for us and for the next generations. New challenges like finding solutions to climate change and multi ethnical coexistence will be some of the issues we’ll reflect upon. The students will improve their knowledge and understanding of different European regions and cultures, their past and their current concerns. Furthermore, the project will inspire both students and teachers to open doors to new ways of co-operating, both within the school, the surrounding region, as well as with the partner schools.
We think that our students, as European citizens, must know Europe’s past to become active and commited builders of Europe’s future. The shared research of each partner’s past will widen the knowledge that our students have about Europe in a way that is not often taught at school regular curricula. The research experience will provide our students with a very valuable experience of meaningful learning where they become actors of their own learning experience.
