    France:



     

    Greece:

    Maybe a topic is over cooked but each partnership changes the ingredients (countries, cities, people) so the taste is different!

    As being a Greek I cannot hide my love for historical-local mythology legends.

    But we have to connect them with reading ...??? → litterature full of mythes ? Yes indeed.

    I also would like to involve ICT in the project.



     

    Hungary: within the project theme we can foster innovative pedagogical methods. - using our cultural, natural heritage or legends as a topic to implement them. Both addresses to the target groups of students and teachers - the latter ones also within their  role as important multiplicators. Using the newly acquired competences and innovations will help to improve quality and efficiency of education and training.

    The project can have an aim of increasing the literacy and the interest for reading and writing in students of partnering schools across EU. We have noticed that students read less and less, both in their mother tongue and in the second language, thus show difficulties in understanding texts. Low reading rate indirectly causes ongoing problems, such as school dropouts and lifelong negative attitude towards education.

    An other aim of the project can be to teach students how to use ICT tools for learning.

    We would have a project newspaper, where In every second months students would be able to write different kind of texts: poems, reports, essays, articles, questionnaires, which would be published and shared with all the schools in newspapers and in project website, which is going to be a motivation for students to make an effort to write and participate in the project. Each student will be involved according to his/her level of competence. Students can improve their writing skills and interpretation abilities, by a collaborate writing project called…..: one school begins writing stories, the others continue, the last school has to edit it as a book. Afterwards it can be performed by the youngest pupils, while the eldest can make videos.
