WHY DOES OUR SCHOOL WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN PROJECTS OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION ? Because we know some very positive experiences of cooperation of other schools, and we experience everyday that when the students are in front of a situation of real communication in which they are the centre they get involved and very interested. Our objectives and priorities are: • Motivate children school tasks. • Motivate teachers job. • Stimulate group work. • Give confidence to our future adults. • Share experiences, tasks and points of view. • Make students happy while working and learning. • Have fun.
THE RESULTS WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE: • Broadening minds in our students. • Learning to be tolerant. • Develop the feeling of being European. • Have a more clear idea about Europe. • Proud students about their tasks and enrichment through the communication. • Many shared activities. • A self evaluation comment at the end of every year.
CONCRETE AIMS: • Built self-confidence. • Establish a meaningful relationship among our students. Facilitate friendship links between them, after knowing each other. • Show a respectful and tolerant attitude towards individual, cultural and social differences to make social integration possible. • Develop our European identity in the school and town. • Increase the will to collaborate and share, with people far from us. • Insure equal rights between girls and boys. • Implement the use of TIC. • Give a purpose to everyday activities. • Value the use of foreign languages.

PLANNED ACTIVITIES IN THE COURSE OF THE PROJECT. YEAR ONE The main aim is getting in contact, knowing each other; sharing activities about the children themselves and the nearest world around them. FIRST TERM: • Me and my family. Physical description through photos. Every group can make an album. They can draw and write compositions. Me, as a student: What do I do at school? • Christmas Holidays, my friends and hobbies. Our traditions. How we celebrate these festivities. We can make a video showing the decorations and different performances. • We will exchange all the activities with all partner schools. SECOND TERM: • My school • My town. • Collecting, presenting and sharing information and exchange it with all the countries.
YEAR TWO The main objective is to work on children emotions and feelings, social abilities and Art as a way of communication. (read, perform, colour, dance...) Stories are a good excuse to know other cultures, to feel empathic with the characters. We will plan everything by using active methodology. FIRST TERM All the groups work with our own story (four or more) on the same topic; a fairy tail and then we exchange with partners. We choose a fairy tail as a tool to transmit our culture and try to become more respectful and tolerant. SECOND TERM We choose a story to work on dialogue and social positive abilities to achieve social integration. All the countries will work with the same story, possibly “ the three twins” a modern nice Catalan story that fits our aims a lot. We will spend more energies on the art presentations and make a DVD.
THIRD YEAR We want to work on social abilities through: • Sharing out door games, or in door physical activities. • Respect environment. • Look for ways to help people close to us and far from us. We share the same world and we are not so different. FIRST TERM We will exchange games and activities to experiment equal opportunities for boys and girls, in the classroom and in the playground. SECOND TERM We will practise “ Land Art” after value, collect and respect the big quantities of plastic, bricks, paper, glass… we waste and the effect on our environment, developing our children creativity.
