Name of the Project:

"Education for the European Citizenship"

This project was realized by the support of the European Union project EPOS-LLP.

Our Project “European Citizenship” is aimed at developing an attitude of active

European Citizenship within the school and exchanging culture and heritage, attitudes and values in order to compare participating countries.We found out how the crosscurriculum goal “education for the citizenship“was reached in the participating countries as well as what it meant for the students.We promoted willingness to avoid prejudice within the E.U., increase tolerance, encourage democratic values and improve the communication skills and foreign language. The students managed to develop specific skills of project management. Besides that, teachers got involved in cross-curricular work. The project contributed to sharing ideas and priorities, good practice and experience as well as a greater interest to active and social citizenship.We developed a three-year-scheme. Activities such as CD-presentations, questionnaires and surveys, meetings with politicians, debates. During student exchanges we intended to analyze, compare and perfect our work. We also managed to visit the European Parliament in

Brussels and meet Members of Parliament.

The results of the project are widely disseminated in newspapers, local TV, the

Internet, callendar, DVDs,CDs, booklets, exhibitions. We created a book of

Independent Learning Method describing the content and methods of national and

European citizenship at school and besides that we decided to introduce the Book of

Activities held separately at partner schools as well as common activities.

CDs, a school website are supposed to show the necessity of such a project. We are sure the project is of great importance for the students and the teachers.

Project summary (Please give a brief and clear description of your project proposal of maximum 200 words; note that this description may be used for publication) :

Our Project “European Citizenship” is aimed at developing an attitude of active European Citizenship (1) within the school and exchanging culture and heritage, attitudes and values in order to compare participating countries.

We’ll find out how the cross-curriculum goal “education for the citizenship“ is reached (2) in the participating countries as well as what it means for the students.

We’ll promote willingness to avoid prejudice(3) within the E.U., increase tolerance, encourage democratic values (4) and improve the communication skills and foreign language (5) . The students will be able to develop specific skills of project management (6) . Besides that, teachers will get involved in cross-curricular work (7) . The project will contribute to sharing ideas and priorities, good practice and experience as well as a greater interest to active and social citizenship.

We developed a three-year-scheme. Activities such as CD-presentations (8), questionnaires and surveys(9), meetings with politicians(10), debates (11),

Skype-conferences(12) will be an inseparable part of our work. During student exchanges(13) we intend to analyze, compare and perfect our work. We also want to visit the European Parliament in Brussels and meet Members of Parliament.(14)

The results of the project will be disseminated. A booklet (15) describing the content and methods of national and European Citizenship at school,

CDs(16), a school website(17) are supposed to show the necessity of such a project. We are sure the project will be of great importance for the students and the teachers.

Time scheme about the Method of Independent Learning for 2007-2008

Each coordinator started searching for cooperating colleagues last months of the school year.

Final date We reached

25/09/2007 Each coordinator found a colleagues who were prepared to cooperate in different subjects (history, geography, English,) in the project.

The preferences went to teachers who teach subjects to pupils of the age of 16-18 years old.

30/9/2007 Coordinator informed each coordinator for what subjects we have in which schools cooperating colleagues. He also announced for what

(important) subject(s) we didn’t have cooperation. So we all tried to find

16/10/2007

(Project meeting

Sosnowiec) one.

From each school we expected from each cooperating teacher for his subject:

-a list of tasks,

- a list of possible used booklets and websites, the way he expected to have the results and how he/she intended to evaluate it.

30/11/2007 In all schools the list of possible used booklets and websites, the way they expected to have the results and how they intended to evaluate it, were ready and mailed to coordinator.

31/03/2208 In all schools per subject the method of independent learning were tried out by the teachers and the “conclusions, feelings, remarks,” were

collected by the coordinators.

What was good, what should we change? (probably how should we change it?)

21/04/2008

countries.

We’ll find out how the crosscurriculum goal “education for the citizenship“ is reached in the participating countries as well as what it means for the students.

We’ll promote willingness to avoid prejudice within the E.U., increase tolerance, encourage democratic values and improve the communication skills and foreign language.

The students will be able to develop specific skills of project management. Besides that, teachers will get involved in cross-curricular work.

The project will contribute to sharing ideas and priorities, good practice and experience as well as a greater interest to active and social citizenship.

ILM booklet offered to all schools in

Belgium through ‘KLasse Direct’

ILM booklet in mother tongue offered the District Authority member and participating schools in Senica

We involved as much pupils as possible :

To ensure equal opportunities for the participation of female and male pupils and staff?

All students, teachers and staff must have the opportunity to participate in all projects!

T o promote intercultural education, and/or to help combat racism/xenophobia?

Collaborating with the students of different ethnic groups, and the students with special needs.

The title itself ‘European Citizenship’ shows that we want to work on a good citizenship which includes this item.

To facilitate the participation of pupils/schools who/which are disadvantaged for socio-economic or other reasons?

If necessary solidarity must be built-in for, for instance financial problems, so that everyone can take part. Also e-mail projects with the participating schools are a possibility to participate everyone.

To facilitate the participation of disabled pupils and staff?

- For those who have physical transportation problems can take part through e-mail projects that we created.

- Trips must be organized so that those persons can participate

To enhance the participation of pupils from ethnic and other minority groups, in particular children of migrant workers, gypsies, travellers and occupational travellers?

If necessary solidarity must be built-in for, for instance financial problems, so that everyone can take part. Also e-mail projects with the participating schools are a possibility to participate everyone. If we are working on the item

‘minorities’ we will be motivated to related through our own experience, to organize workshops connected to their culture (dance, cooking, hairdressing, singing, music,…) and dissolve the prejudices towards them.

A description of the role of all participating institutions

In preparation to the start meeting in Senica (2005) all partners wrote a proposal application in which the aims for the Comenius 1-project as well as the content of the project items were written down. About two weeks before the preparatory visit these application were brought together in one

“preparatory application”. This application was sent to all participating schools had to read it, to make adjustments and to bring those to the meeting in

Senica.

All participating schools were invited in Senica; they were represented by their co-ordinator European Projects.

Adjustments were made to the final application.

Each school carried a responsibility for a part of the Comenius project:

4. Students participated actively in receiving foreign guests as hosts.

5. Students participated as guides at school, in the region and at cultural trips.

6. They were the source of feedback information in evaluation process

Evaluation was made through students and teachers feedback along with review of exchanged materials and gained knowledge; students anticipated to answer the questions on different sides of the project work.

How did we integrated the project into the curriculum of the pupils participating in the project at the institutions involved?

Through our projects of Independent learning.

Cross curriculum subject since year 2009/2010 in Slovakia in the New School

Curriculum

Summary

Finally, we can say that all the aims of the project have been fulfilled within three years of very active collaboration of all the participating partner schools.

We have created a perfect international team who would like to continue in started work in future.

Moreover, we managed to keep in close cooperation the parents, most of the teachers and even the members of local authorities, so that our project

seemed to be attractive not only for students but also for other participants from collaborative schools.

This book of activities with the number of annexes, graphs, pictures, questionnaires and other additional materials shows plenty of activities held in this period.

However, the most important was the main goal to create the Book of ILM method, which we hope would help not only our school to combine various activities in teaching process while deepening the awareness and understanding of the citizenship and European citizenship.

We hope the ILM book will help many involved teachers to master their teaching methods to reach the goal.
