    COUNTRIES’ INITIAL NEEDS: (from the application form)

    • Germany: enhance technical affinity with the girls and foster digitalization

    • Greece: The primary concern of the school’s teachers is to motivate students to develop interests beyond the Olympic Village, to broaden their mind and stimulate them to become active citizens. It is our deep goal as teachers to inquire for innovative actions and to exchange good practices with our colleagues. Develop Students communication skills andperceive Europe as they 'll exchange ideas and information from different cultural background, and be imbued with diverse customs and traditions. Become active citizens, do engage in collective activities and develop democratic thought and social awareness.

     

    • France: teaching diplomacy and democratic participation. As we live on an island, it is not easy for our students to imagine themselves as European citizens. Continue opening our school on Europe so that students may choose more ambitious careers and be more motivated at school. We hope they will be able to go and study abroad later or even undergo training courses and bring new ideas of trades to develop Corsica. The teachers want to develop new skills observing, sharing; skills to disseminate in our eTwinning school and in other schools. Brigitte Collomb plans to use this project for her research work for the CARDIE and to make students sense their European identity.
