"George Emil Palade” School is a primary and secondary school, founded during the Comunist regime and situated in the western part of Ploiesti, in an ever changing and socially heterogeneous neighbourhood. Our school carried out, as a coordinating institution, a Comenius partnership, during which it was facilitated the exchange of experience among partner schools and the generalisation of good practices and efficient methods of working with students . We also take part permanently in a lot of projects involving the local community- strategic institutions (Police, Town Hall, Law Court etc.)Out of 54 teachers working in the school, twelve have been selected for this project after a rigourous process. All course participants have solid academic education each in their own field, they are highly motivated, committed, extremely interested in their professional development and permanent teachers with more than 10 years of experience in teaching in our school which will provide a great guarantee that the school will benefit from their participation in the project in the long run. Almost all were involved in the previous Comenius project run in our school, therefore they are equipped with intercultural and linguistic competences required for taking part in such international activities. This project represents an opportunity for our school to take part in modernising and satisfying the future needs of our community of learning. The courses will provide our teachers (and thus our students) with a more active and task-based learning approach of the teaching process, giving prominence to the applicability of what our learners study, as well as its relevance to their own interests. The potential of using drama, stories and games, either in mother tongue or during foreign language classes, as an educational catalyst is obvious. Creativity, playfulness, increased motivation of fellow teachers and students alike are to be considered core concepts of this project.Staff as individuals, the institution and its learners will discover a fresh and international drive to be part of a wider movement of improving the way we interact with each other. The quality of internationalisation therefore will be improved and a larger range of qualified staff will be able to communicate and collaborate interculturally with partners abroad, apply successfully for grants within the Erasmus plus programme, manage and organise all kinds of international activities.We chose to work with Interacting and Kulturos Kiemas as recognised providers of quality training with a proven track record both as dynamic hosts and expert trainers in delivering creative and relevant resources for the teachers of our students. The training activities we decided that our staff should take part in best fit the key-objectives included in our school's development plan and the immediate pedagogical updating necessities of our teachers.There will be three main course activities (PLAY TO LEARN, DIGITAL DYNAMIC CULTURAL DIALOGUE and LET'S TELL YOUR STORY) , each preceded as well as followed by a set of subsidiary activities. Before each course, teachers taking part in it will undergo some preparatory tasks and will establish preliminary contacts with the organizing companies (pre-evaluation, pre-course work, digital competence audit etc). Likewise, after each course, the trainees will be actively involved in school and community dissemination, sustainability of project results and activities, as well as evaluation of the project results and of the school implementation process, through a series of demo lessons, workshops, conference participations, questionnaires, school website uploads, students' results and all kinds of materials. Participants will be tasked with monitoring the effectiveness of the training, which will ensure the actual use of the methods and skills they will have acquired. They will also provide feedback to course providers and international colleagues on the results from the classroom and will also spread the good practice throughout their own departments and others in the school and beyond the school, locally, nationally and on European dissemination virtual platforms. This is also expected to improve communication and cooperation among teachers and to allow non-participating teachers to benefit from their colleagues' newly acquired experience.In the short run, we expect this project to contribute to developing key oral communicative competences, social skills, to improving the quality of education through internationalisation, to enhancing intercultural awareness and to strengthening confidence of teachers/ learners and results. In the long run the activities of this project will improve the way in which our school is perceived by the local/ regional community, which means they will generate a better image.
