CYCLE- PROJECT SUMMARY-
This project arises from the need of our schools to advance in the process of internationalization. From our experience on European projects, we have verified through surveys to families, students and teachers that these School Exchange Partnerships have been a great source of motivation for the entire educational community and have enriched our school in areas such as inclusion, respect for differences and openness to Europe.
This project that we now present originates from the analysis of our closest reality, the knowledge of our environment and the desire to give value to the resources of proximity that often go unnoticed but are essential in our community. We want to value two axes that shape our idiosyncrasies: on the one hand, water and channels; the importance of water in our lives and the origins of the channels that are all over Europe and on the other hand ,bicycle tourism as a sustainable way of transport, cycling along eurovelo routes to know the heritage of Europe.
We have organized activities that are meaningful to the students involved and to the educational community as well. We have designed a board of 20 activities including the mobilities. We have tried to organize activities that are equally related to the main two topics : water and cycling. These activities will be part of our schools life and it won´t be something exceptional that we do from time to time.
In relation to the methodology to be used, we will try to implement different methodologies:
- a methodology based on collaborative work among all the participants, not only among the students from the same school but also with peers from other schools by means of Twinspace and the mobilities as well.
-a methodology based on the use of ICT since our activities and final products are mostly developed on line, and the use of computers is essential in any educational project.
-an active methodology, to promote an effective learning. Students will be responsible for most of the activites planned they will be fully involved in the design, implementation and assessment of theproject.
As far as the concrete results we would like to produce, we consider they can be classified into two different categories:
-Intangible results: greater sensibility towards the closest and also European culture, improvement oflinguistic skills, knowledge acquired and a positive effect on teamwork within our schools.
-Tangible results: researches, reports, brochures, articles, assessment reports, presentations , infographics...will be included. As a summary of the project, there will be two products a PHOTO BOOK/ALBUM which gathers all the activities done during the project and a VIDEODOCUMENTARY that will be shared among all the participants so that it can be used as a way of promoting the project in their schools and communities. This video will be also in eTwinning, Erasmus PRP and different social networks.
