LTTA

  • The project is developed with an eye on the diversity of European cultures, systems of education and current practices. These can be
    observed and analysed only by the direct contact of students and teachers with the realities of these countries.
    Upon return, the participants will have gained valid professional, personal, cultural knowledge so as to be able to share it with their
    peers. Therefore, in order to impact an even greater number of students and teachers, the results of LTTAs will be shared during
    workshops and dissemination sessions. In this way, the entire school community will become more aware of the European
    dimension of education and will implement the good practices in their everyday school work.
    As stated in the project description, the objectives we envisage are:

    1. to involve students in their own learning with a view to attaining better results and becoming more motivated;
    2. to develop students' transversal skills - numeracy, computer literacy, critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability;
    3. to develop intercultural understanding and acceptance;
    4. to develop communication skills in English;
    5. to promote European values and develop cohesion among European citizens.

    The project should be developed transnationally because, as stated at the beginning, we wish to expose students to different cultures in a controlled and subtle environment in which they can learn about other cultures without them feeling threatened by such exposure. Only by enabling students to come together, spend time and get to know each other in-depth, can we reach our objectives in terms of intercultural dialogue, promotion of European values and development of cohesion.
    We have planned 4 LTTAs in the two years of project. Each partner will bring 4-5 students, accompanied by two teachers - a total
    number of 100 participants (64 students and 36 teachers). The LTTAs will provide all participants with a unique chance to:

    • get to know people from other European countries from diverse places;
    • observe one another professionally - by attending classes;
    • get to know other systems of education;
    • exchange practices regarding the inclusion of ICT during classes;
    • attend workshops designed to provide students with the necessary know-how in order to use the digital tools for the creation of products;
    • interact and work in teams to create common storylines, thus contributing their own special cultural characteristics;
    • use English in an everyday, authentic context and develop communication skills.
