    In a world connected through digitization, with new forms of social interaction, this project focuses on learning about an intelligent use of digital media and on valuing empathy, social skills and intercultural understanding. As a result of the pandemic, these aspects are more relevant as we have to communicate digitally and miss the presence of loved ones.

    Objectives of the project:

    1. Improve awareness about digital security among our students: their digital lives and an eSafety Do’s and Don’ts contest.

    2. Promote ethical values ​​and school coexistence: Covid19, roleplays about cyberbullying, emails on coexistence rules, interviews with relatives who do not use new technology and with experts on digital media.

    3. Know the values ​​within our cultural heritage.

    This partnership of secondary schools has been funded by the European Union and will take place from 2020 to 2022, although due to the pandemic it will most likely last one more school year.

    When the mobilities can be carried out, a first meeting is planned in Istanbul, a second one in Córdoba and a final meeting in Rödinghausen.

    All the participants are looking forward to normalizing the health situation in order to enjoy such an enriching educational experience.
