Curriculum integration

  •  

    Cross-curricular planning is a philosophy in education that attempts to put an end to isolated instruction and learning.

    Deeper learning can often occur when teachers combine relevant content areas. 

    This project is an example of that.

    This is a new compulsory crosscurricolar school subject in Italian education so that every teacher deals with it according to their own school subject to promote active citizenship, be green and improve digital skills. For example in second year in my middle school:
    Italian and history teachers deal with the respect of rules, school rules, laws and constitutions.
    Geography teacher deals with European union and active citizenships.
    English teachers join European projects like this one to promote social and digital goals and Language competences as we communicate in English and become aware of fake news...
