PROJECT
FINISHED
"Innovate Yourself! Create Yourself Anew! Produce Yourself!’’ came into existence because of four schools' joint desire to work together on a new European project on the theme of innovation. The objectives are varied.
First concerning students: reinforcing links between school education and active citizenship, economic, social, cultural and European considerations, increasing their self-confidence, and helping them acquire better language and digital skills. For teachers: enhancing their professional development by integrating collaborative and innovative pedagogies into the activities we propose. The succesful relationships between teachers concerned will lead to future collaboration as a result of this project. As far as schools are concerned: the aim is primarily to open our schools to internationalization and increase the European dimension of the education we provide.
There will be a class of about 30 students, aged between 15 and 18, working on the project in each of our four schools from very different socio-economic and geographical backgrounds. The two years of the project will be divided into four semesters, each focusing on a particular kind of innovation in four areas: living together, literary production, the production and distribution of food and finally innovation in the field of visual arts. All the proposed activities have been selected as a result of consultation with colleagues interested in sharing their methods with others and learning from the approach of other European teachers and will involve people living and working close to our respective schools.
Four transnational learning activities will offer the opportunity to compare, to pool and conclude the work carried out on such questions beforehand in each individual school. Students in turn investigators, interviewers, reporters, writers, secretaries, artists, webmasters will thus, thanks to the collaboration with students from partner schools, construct their own learning processes, their relationships, their sense of responsibility, making them truly European citizens. The tools available on the eTwinning platform will enable teachers and other schools to find inspiration from our work thus contributing to other forms of innovation.
