Sharing the joy of learning
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jul 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The background of this project is the need for developing a school for the future, to open up our local school in an effective manner to the European society and international context. We need to improve our skills as teachers in enabling the pupils to excel as citizens of Europe in the 21st century. Among the objectives in the project is to make all the participants aware of their shared society: Europe. We want to increase awareness and knowledge about the history, culture, geography, religion, society and school system in both partner countries to be able to analyze and appreciate the things in common, but also the richness found in the differences. We will visit our partners and use the experiences fully. The pupils will work around themes like The school of the future, geography, culture, religion, history and the school system. They will share their products and interact in a number of ways using digital tools, like film., photos and multi media. We will utilize twinspace, blogs and other programmes We will carry out the project systematically and it will be pupil centered so the teachers will use all the inputs they get for the students' and schools' benefit. The results will be shown using multimedia, film and so on. The children and teachers will get new insights about their European environment and what is in common and what differs in the different countries. All participants will improve their technical skills and ability to cooperate in different languages and with different groups in and outside their own school. We will get a more clear idea of what a School of the Future could be like. Long term benefits are expected to be huge. An increased appreciation of lifelong learning and an ongoing eagerness to develop the teaching methods used in the school and also a commitment to an overall ongoing school development. The personal contacts and experiences received will also have a long term impact and are expected to result in new exciting projects in the future.
