  1. Sharing our Past; Shaping our Future Erasmus + Key Action 229Strategic Partnerships for the Field of Education supporting Exchange of Good Practices

  2. What is our project? • This a 2 year project (September 2018 – August 2020) involving 6 schools from across Europe. • The aim is to create a European Studies Module that will ensure European study is embedded into teaching and learning in the schools as a long-lasting outcome. • The module will be designed and written by children after exploring and sharing their past and investigating the needs and possibilities of education in the future. • It will challenge the partnership schools to meet the needs of pupils and staff in an interesting and innovative way.

  3. Sherborne C of E Primary School – ENGLAND (UK) • Bec De L'Àguila – SPAIN • Szkola Podstawowa nr 42 im. Jana Brzechwy – POLAND • StichtingConfessioneelOnderwijs Leiden – NETHERLANDS • JamalinKoulu – FINLAND • Osnovnaskola Vladimir Nazor - CROATIA The schools are spread across Europe The names of the schools Who are the schools involved?

  4. Who from the schools will be involved? All pupils and staff from all the schools have the potential to be involved with in-school activities including online collaborative work. Parents, governors, former pupils and local community members may also be involved. • November 2018 – 3 pupils and 2 staff will visit the English school • March 2019 – 4 pupils and 2 staff will visit the Spanish school • June 2019 – 4 pupils and 2 staff will visit the Polish school • September 2019 – 3 pupils and 2 staff will visit the Finnish school • December 2019 – 4* pupils and 2 staff will visit the Croatian school (*Netherlands will send 5, England 3) • April 2020 – 4 pupils and 2 staff will visit the Dutch school

  5. Investigating our past schooling/cultural heritage • Outcome – picture book of results • Past Project Structure • Investigating current schooling/national priorities • Outcome - school comparative study document • Present New European Studies Module • Explore the needs of future schooling • Outcome - design of future classroom • Future

  6. The first part of the project will be to investigate cultural heritage by looking at schooling in the past. The hard outcome will be a collaborative book of these results containing pictures and information on the following: • What subjects did we learn in our schools? Did these change over time? • How were classrooms set up? • Did girls/boys/all have access to education equally? • How many hours a day/days a week/weeks a year? • What were the most popular games played at school (in the playground)? • What were the popular children’s songs? • What were the popular children’s stories? • Suitable for younger children to investigate • Past

  7. The second part of the project will be to investigate and compare national priorities by looking at our current schooling. The hard outcome will be a comparative study (as a brochure) which provides information on the following: • Present • What subjects do we learn in our schools? Have these changed recently? • How are classrooms set up? • Did girls/boys/all have access to education equally? • How many hours a day/days a week/weeks a year? • What are the most popular games played at school (in the playground)? • What are the popular children’s songs? • What are the popular children’s stories? • Suitable for younger children to investigate

  8. The third part of the project will be to explore ideas for the future – what will be necessary subjects to learn and how are these different today – will classrooms need to be set up differently? A hard outcome will be a ‘futuristic classroom design’ to meet the needs of students going forward having considered the points below: • What subjects might we learn in our schools in the future? • Which languages are most useful to learn? • How could we set up our classrooms differently to meet future needs? • How will we educate all in an increasingly diverse Europe? • How many hours a day/days a week/weeks a year? • Future

  9. The last part will be to produce a European studies module which draws from what has been discovered investigating for the other three parts. Hard outcome - A set of objectives which will form a European teaching module for use in our schools going forward – essentially, having found out more about our European partners, what do pupils want to be taught about Europe going forward – what will be useful and important to know, learn and share?

  10. Key benefits Pupils and staff from Sherborne are ‘connected’ to Europe and can learn from their European colleagues and friends Language and IT skills can develop purposefully We will have a European studies module to teach from 2020 €18,000+ to support the 5 visits abroad 19 pupils and up to 6 staff having the opportunity to travel €12,000 to support the project, to be used for coordination and implementation
