The project is designed to develop new teaching methods and strategies, to foster the integration of students from different cultural backgrounds, and with different language needs; to build basic skills; and to develop innovative models of entrepreneurial education. The project will also equip teachers with new skills and strategies, to help them to deliver high quality learning opportunities, and meet the needs of their students. The project will utilize an inquiry-based and learner-centred method of teaching known as ‘Mantle of the Expert.’ The idea is that students are asked to think of themselves as if they are running an ‘enterprise’ of some kind; curriculum tasks are then undertaken within this fictional context. The system is designed to empower students, and to make them take on more responsibility for their own learning. The project will bring together both education providers and teacher training institutions. The partners are: a cultural organization (Midland Actors Theatre); UK schools at primary and secondary level (Woodrow First School/Turves Green Boys School); a vocational school in Turkey (Pagev Mesleki Ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi ); a regional school authority in Germany (Staatliches Schulamt in der Stadt Augsburg); and a teacher training institute in Portugal (Escola Superior de Educação de Paula Frassinetti).Partners will plan schemes of work together, which they will then deliver in their own classrooms. A total of some 280 students will take part, in different countries. The project will pioneer a model of entrepreneurial education in secondary schools. It will also target young people from refugee and migrant groups, who may be experiencing challenges and barriers to integration, and other disadvantaged groups. A filmed record of the project will be made; it will be edited and issued as a dvd, and project videos will also be posted online. The films will show planning meetings, interviews with participants, and project delivery in classrooms in different countries. We will also produce a Teaching Guide, with schemes of work and teaching resources, so that other teachers can use the project in their own classrooms.The project will have a wider legacy. It will be rolled out and embedded as a teaching programme in a number of schools in partner countries; and it will also be incorporated in teacher training courses. We will raise awareness of the project through national and international networks, We believe that it will have an impact on the development of educational policies in partner countries, and on curriculum development, in its development of new ways to address diverse needs in the classroom; as an innovative model of entrepreneurial education; and as a pupil-centred and enquiry-based form of pedagogy.
