EUROPE OUR HOUSE

The aim of this Project is to investigate the different houses we live in, ways of living, architecture, whilst promoting the development of a better European attitude and awareness of cultural differences and citizenship. We consider that it is important to develop knowledge and understanding among children and teachers of the diversity of European cultures and language and its value. And although there are many differences in our countries, we have got many things in common like living under the same roof: Europe. The more we know from each others, the more we respect and tolerate other cultures.A partnership web link will be established in order to “post” work in progress, products and reports, together with photographs to share information. E-mail pals will also be established and regularly maintained between those students taking part. We pretend to encourage teachers to use digital technology and resources creatively.Once the students have learnt about their types of houses and compared them with the ones in the partner countries, they will try to design their ideal house (like a sustainable house, a healthy home, using recycled materials,…). We pretend our pupils to improve their knowledge of their architecture in the present and in the past. Compare traditional and modern houses. Children will consider the importance of sustainable houses (eco-friendly) nowadays; being aware of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. In addition, through teachers exchanges staff will be able to explore and contrast classroom pedagogy within our schools, sharing experiences within the classroom and consider the challenges and opportunities provided by each partnership. As a result, their teaching methods will be improved.
