Home Sweet Home!
Five rural European high schools from England, Turkey, Greece, Spain and France will take their 11 to 15-year-old students from the cocoon of their home to the larger home that is Europe. Through this three-year-long adventure where they will discover each other's culture through each other's house, find out about houses of the past and houses of important people, they will also learn to accept originality and differences and they will be ready to act tomorrow as environment-friendly citizens of Europe when they will design their house of the future. But most of all, they will
- improve their level in the Foreign Languages they are learning at school (English, French and Spanish) so that they can get their Europass Language Passport
- improve their digital skills and get a common certificate specially created for the project
- improve their knowledge of the world of work and be ready for some of them to go to a vocational school to prepare their future job. For this, they will complete the Employability for Life Charter implemented by the English partner.
As the schools involved are small, the project will concern all the students of the schools : activities will be implemented in all the subjects taught in our schools at different moments so that they are well integrated into our curriculums. However, only a few pupils will travel abroad during the transnational meetings or the little exchanges groups : they will be ambassadors who will talk on behalf of their schoolfriends to present their work and who will return to their schools with the account of what they will have done abroad.
Moreover, Home Sweet Home will also affect our local communities : we don't want it to be only a school project but we want the parents, the neighbours, the people in our villages or little towns to be aware of what's going on and to know more about Europe as the place where they all belong, the place they live in where their next door neighbours are French, Spanish, Greek, Turkish or English.
So let's move from our home to a larger one which is called EUROPE!
