The project "Building our resilience
and collaborative spirit" invites our
students and teachers to reflect on all the current problems but also to act
upon as a digital citizens. The aim of the project is to create opportunities
for the social interaction of young people by fostering intercultural dialogues
among young people from different countries and helping them develop a mutual
understanding. Specifically, the project will focus on human rights and
tolerance, awareness for policies for migration, cultivating the interdisciplinary
spirit among students, collaboration
and resilience and learning
the values of respect.
Students will be engaged
in searching for material so as to compose their own research, as well as offer
information on their own countries to other participating schools. There will
be different sub-topics in each partner-country. Awareness of our own cultural identity is
extremely important, especially in an era where the phenomenon of globalization
is leading younger generations towards forgetting about their origin and
culture. Activities will be aimed at promoting human rights, the idea of the
school as a place for constructive and creative learning, participation in life
as an aware citizen of the particular country and of the European and
International community.
During: For
the training lectures, presentations and demonstrations will be used along with
more active and interactive methods such us workshops, hands-on activities,
collaborative learning by design project and study trips, discussions and
online interactions. The participants are expected to be active, collaborative
and creative. In the field work trainees observe, research information, collect
material for learning multimedia objects, and take interviews in order to
produce learning materials and stories.
After: The participants will evaluate the program and
will continue to interact online, after the face-to- face session, in
dissemination and follow-up actions.
We hope that the end
result of this synergy will be a decrease of of human rights violations in society, at least by the participating
students, as a deeper appreciation of diversity promotes tolerance and
understanding. This will be assessed at the beginning, middle and end of the
project. We hope to get statistically significant and detectable results.
