PROJECT
FINISHED
Our project aimed at offering class teachers from „Sabin Dragoi” Art High-School, Arad, the opportunity to learn about new methods and instruments, to gain knowledge and skills regarding a better planning and a more efficient organisation of extracurricular/ extra-school activities. This type of activities is an important part of the class teachers’ work with classes they are responsible for, and they concern activities that take place monthly, periodically, or within the„ Şcoala Altfel – Sa ştii mai multe, sa fii mai bun” (Another type of school – the more you know the better you become) program. The lack of a curriculum or other materials that are relevant from this point of view, that should help teachers to plan and implement such activities, leads to the posibiliy that these activities are not suited for students’ non-formal and informal educational needs. Thus, the activities that were developed in this project have contributed to the teachers’ better knowledge and information that they were in need of, through the activities they developed within school from Spain and Portugal. These countries were especially chosen because their educational systems are similar to the Romanian one, but they are very productive and set as good practice examples at an European level.
The objectives are:
-To improve the quality of the extracurricular activities and also of the orientation and counselling through these activities
-To acquire new competences, knowledge and abilities for a better and more efficient planning of the extracurricular activities according to the needs of the students and youngsters at the European level
-To develop new partnerships among schools and/or organizations for teenagers all over Europe to be able to get used to new educational systems and the acquirement of new practices with teenagers(NGOs,clubs etc.)or to other community stakeholders that may be involved in those activities.
-To get in touch with other cultures so that the linguistic competences could be improved.
The participants have developed activities within schools with different profiles, as well as in NGOs that develop extracurricular activities with students. The participants took part in presentations, round tables and workshops in which they had the opportunity to gain new ways of planning and implementing such activities. The daily activities were stated in the Work program agreed upon with the partners and signed by them as well as each participant. Project partners were MEP Europrojects Granada, Spain and Amigos de Mobilidade Barcelos, Portugal. They had the task of identifying those schools and NGOs relevant for the learning objectives.
24 class teachers and primary school teachers have taken part in this project, divided into two mobility flows, in Spain and Portugal. The duration of the mobility was 10 days, 02-11.02.2015.
