"The goal of the project is therefore facilitate increasing the quantity of digital natives among all partners' teachers,pupils,parents and other stakeholders(teachers/pupils of other schools,Directorates of National Education ,society) who are the target groups.
Work Process
The project will reach its main goal by transnational project meetings. Both teachers and students will have a chance to work together (participate in different activities, learn, share, reflect, rehearse) and brainstorm on next steps.
Exchanges with other participating schools will allow the possibility for comparison with the situation of others.This process will simultaneously encourage reflection and understanding and act as an introduction of one school to another.
Language competence increase significantly during the implementation of additional activities in the framework of the project tasks and the 4 international meetings.
Partner schools will need to meet in order to organize,monitor and implement the project. More precisely,the transnational meetings foreseen will take place as follows:
