The aim of the project is to learn European culture, to develop foreign language skills, to create an academic self-perception in students, to recognize and promote the cultural heritage elements of the project partner countries. Moreover, we would like to give students an opportunity to participate new projects and develop their personal and social skills, self-confidence, intercultural understanding and maturity.
This Project gives us a good chance to clarify some elements that define a person/community identity. We think that our natural and cultural heritage is also a relevant element in this process. We have planned our project as a process of discovery in which students are guided to identify key aspects of their identity and relate them to their heritage. So our goals will be:
– To teach our students to understand the interest and fascination with the natural and cultural heritage of people, especially in Europe, and how this heritage shapes their identity and values.
– Emphasizing the importance of the environment as a fundamental element in our lives, seeking its knowledge, value and appreciation, being aware of the risks that threaten its integrity and being aware of its importance not only as an economic but also as a resource. It also seeks sustainable use of important resources, all social, cultural and spiritual ones.
– Allowing an open, flexible and coordinated holistic and multidisciplinary approach to educational activities, using local natural and cultural resources as a starting point. Putting into practice new methodological tools that make it possible to integrate learning and teaching 21st century competences. more interesting and fun activity.
– Exploring the potential for greater exposure to natural and cultural heritage on our students’ self-esteem and social and emotional intelligence, thereby reducing conflict, promoting coexistence and harmony, and helping to reduce schoolfailure.
– Promote creativity and entrepreneurship as attitudes necessary for the promotion and appreciation of the environment, tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
All these goals are directly linked to our first horizontal goal: the social and educational value of the European Heritage. However, they will also encourage the development of relevant and high-quality skills and competences in relevant students and teachers, and they will need to make extensive use of ICT tools.
