Our partnership was established through the eTwinning website partner search. Together, we intend to explore the influence invaders such as the Vikings, the Normans, the Romans, the Celts etc had on the countries they invaded. The project will touch on curricular areas such as Literacy, History, Geography, Social studies, Anthropology, along with cultural areas such as Art, Music, Dance, Architecture and Food. This will allow us to explore the extent to which invaders influenced the culture of the countries they invaded, shaping them into the countries they are today. This will also allow us to see the extent to which we are all influenced by being part of a wider European community, and how, throughout history, that wider community has allowed us to share cultural experiences which led to the improvement and development of the Europe we know today. Each of the six schools involved in this project represent an invader population and can bring their own experiences and point of view to the project, while providing a rich pool of information, historical facts, artefacts, museum items, anecdotal evidence and documentation to enrich the project as a whole. The activities will be planned throughout the 36 months and they will include setting up a website, including blogs, producing a recipe book featuring ancient and modern foods influenced by invaders, cds of music and dances. In order to enhance students’creativity, we will create 3D models and reproductions of ancient artwork and monuments and architectural structures and recreate costumes/clothing of the invaders and original population. To achieve greater understanding and responsiveness to social, linguistic and cultural diversity and understanding of a common identity we will create a book in which we research the legacy of the invaders, pupils will have an online debate in which they debate whether invading the country was a positive or negative thing; we will create and perform a drama in which pupils will role play invaders or original inhabitants. During the project meetings, pupils from each school will undertake workshops where they will work collaboratively to deepen their understanding of invaders and the links between our countries. Through use of blogs, email and Skype pupils and teachers will work together to plan, carry out and evaluate all aspects of the project. Therefore we hope to develop European citizens who can clearly express themselves and are tolerant to the views of others, reaching compromises where necessary. Working on the products of the project, such as the recipe book, music cd, dance dvd and dictionary and cooperating with colleagues in other European countries will increase the positive attitudes of pupils towards reading, writing and history and will improve attainment and help combat failure in education. Through the use of new technologies whilst working on project activities, and the final products, both pupils and teachers in all partner school will have increased levels of digital competence. The involvement of educational staff and pupils in the international projects will improve the internal communication in the participating schools, and will contribute to their image in the area as well as to the capacity to work in international projects and cooperate with partners abroad.
