In our project ‘Salt of the Earth’ we aim to study, work and co-operate together to examine the whole subject of salt in our lives, countries, economies and history. We aim to begin by exploring the simple question of ‘What is Salt?’ and then plan to work our way to producing teaching resources full of useful, creative ideas learning materials and topic outlines about salt as a subject to study and learn from such as a Quest-Story, recipes, science and history books, videos, photostories, worksheets, leaflets,maps and How to-cards. Salt as a subject is a rich, diverse study area which offers the opportunity to look at a large number of contemporary issues, such as health concerns, cultural and dietary worries, as well as providing the wider framework of exploring real economies through tourism and enterprise. It has the potential to be a good area to explore creative thinking, linked to teaching methodology. Salt has a rich and interesting history in all of our countries (eg. salt mines, salt routes, the Roman salt trading, etc) and offers each partner school the chance to contribute something of interest from their own culture and past.The project would encourage staff and pupils from partner schools to work together co-operatively through mobility, technology, effective linking and a clear project outline. It would offer an exciting study framework to explore the quality of our teaching and learning through actively making and evaluating our own topic resources and project materials. The language of the project would be English, but links between schools would encourage the development of modern languages and each school would be encouraged to communicate in a foreign language for some of the activities.
