This project arose after exchanging information and ideas within a group of highly motivated teachers from schools of France, Germany, Poland, Spain and Sweden. In the process of developing this common project it became clear that we shared the same ideas and values and wanted to tackle the same problems and that each of us (adults or teenagers) would learn and gain skills, knowledge, expertise… from the others. Also, all the partners realised there was a real need to increase their students’ motivation. Sharing our experiences, our skills and visions of the educational and working world will benefit them directly and promote empowerment at various levels and thus stimulate active participation in democratic life. The participating countries are a cross-section of Europe representing the geographical parts of Europe. This also applies to the structure of the different schools in terms of size, profile and outlook. Nearly all the schools came together thanks to the European network eTwinning and some have worked together before. The main topics are linked to the experience of each school, meaning each can contribute to the success of the overall project. We also established a partnership with the French Regional body, “Conseil Départemental du Bas-Rhin”, highly involved in the domains targeted by the project: education, youth policies and international cooperation. The students involved (aged 13-15) will share and exchange experiences, opinions and values on topics being at the heart of their concerns: getting to know each other, understanding the different educational systems, the way each country prepares its students for the European job market and stimulates active participation in their education and voluntary work, their worries and concerns. Moreover, working on stereotypes and experiencing multiculturalism through mobilities will help them to become more tolerant citizens able to fight against xenophobia and bullying among others. By striving to reach values like tolerance, solidarity, equality... we will help to make responsible, respectful European citizens ready to work and travel anywhere in Europe. To make the results of our work public and “visible“ we have chosen to develop a TV programme with news, reports, ads, interviews and more. This is sensible because it gives us the opportunity to share the results in schools and with a much wider public (project website, youtube channel, facebook…). This will also have a long term effect because it will stay available for a long time. The work on these tasks will run continuously throughout the whole project and will be regularly highlighted by the organisation of meetings in all the participating countries. The meetings will be used to present, prepare and evaluate the results of the common work. They will enable students to meet and work on these different topics in international mixed groups to create their own TV programme. Five students per country will act as ambassadors and will be the spokespeople for their school abroad and will spread the ideas of the project among their peers when back to their school. These meetings will also have a long term impact on the local surroundings of each school because of the involvement of local companies and institutions. This project also intends to promote students’creativity, knowledge of foreign languages (English as the communication and working language and all the other mother languages involved in the project) and to promote linguistic diversity. They will also be able to increase their ICT skills through the use of tools like computers, tablets and smartphones and develop communication tools like social networks, instant messages and videoconferences. Students have completely different abilities in using these tools and will thus learn from one another. By rising their interest (topics broached, “the ideal European school”, the way the activities are carried out e.g.) we also hope to contribute to the struggle against early school leaving, school failure and truancy common among unmotivated students. We expect students to consider a greater geographical mobility after graduation, for work placements or job hunting e.g. Also, teachers will have the opportunity to study, experience and compare different educational systems, working on different methodologies, sharing values and good practice. Involving headteachers and members of education boards in the mobilities will give them the opportunity to improve management techniques and methods of pedagogical approaches and a better knowledge of educational projects. Overall, this project will help our students to increase their sense of belonging to the same community, to improve mutual understanding and to master new technologies that will involve them in intercultural dialogue in the long run and will thus contribute to the development of their European identity.
