Search for European Projects

North and South @ Rendez-Vous
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Myllytulli school is a comprehensive school in Oulu, Northern Finland. The school has 550 pupils and 60 teachers. The current financial situation does not support regular in-service teacher training. One of the goals of North and South @ Rendez-Vous is to offer versatile in-service training which is closely related to the teaching profession. We are hoping to carry our four job shadowings for teachers representing different subjects and levels in the school. There are 16 teachers involved in the project, teaching various subjects both in primary school and at the lower level of secondary school. All the participating teacher have a long work experience and they all are eager to develop their professional skills further.We are focusing on new learning environments, and using ICT in versatile ways in teaching, on understanding what it means to be a European citizen, and on supporting and developing both learning and teaching. We aim at supporting teachers to cope and feel well in their work and pupils in their learning. Additionally, we hope to gain new insights and models in teaching immigrant pupils. There are a large number of pupils with special needs in our school, whose learning processes should be developed. The school strives to meet the needs of the changing society in various ways, e.g., with the help of the new curricula. The new curriculum for the basic education requires building and using new learning environments and new teaching methods. One new term in the curriculum is kotikansainvälisyys ("home-internationalism"), a concept within which the pupils will familiarise themselves with international issues in their home classes. All the teachers should include internationalism into their teaching at some level. Job shadowing will offer a possibility to learn how schools function in other European countries, through which teachers will get new ideas and tools for their work. We wish to strengthen the European identity of the our school's staff and pupils. In order to understand our status and role in the EU, sustainable and purposeful international education is needed.
