24 5. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PARTNERSHIP Please note that this section must be completed jointly by all institutions participating in the Partnership and must be identical in each copy submitted to each National Agency. 5.1 SUMMARY Summary of the planned Partnership. This description may be used by the European Commission and/or the National Agency when providing information on selected projects, so please be clear and precise and do not exceed 200 words. The project aims at highlighting the importance of Education nowadays in the United Europe. It is a type of Education which differs a great deal from the past and that promotes the use of multimedia activities, the use of internet facilities and e.learning. All this favours a quick communication between schools that are geographically distant but in close contact from the point of view of cooperation. In the course of the two years time attention should be focused on the promotion of an intercultural education in order to combat racism/xenophobia, by carrying out common activities, of different types, which are intended to develop some of the key competences for lifelong learning: Communication in the mother tongue; Communication in foreign languages, Digital competence, Social and civic competences, Cultural awareness and expression. The idea of the project came out from the participation in the Contact Seminar (Tallin Estonia 4th/7th October 2007), in which some of the participants took part and the Seminar of the Council of Europe ( Media literacy development - Graz Austria 5th/7th December 2007) in which the Italian and Rumanian coordinating teachers participated. 5.2 CONTEXT AND MOTIVATION a) What is the general context of each institution involved in the proposed Partnership? Is there a specific context as for example: Are the participants in disadvantaged areas? Do they have specific needs for pupils, staff or other groups, e.g. pupils at risk of social exclusion, pupils with special needs, migrants, refugees? If so, please explain. b) Why do the participating institutions want to take part in European cooperation activities such as this Partnership? What do they expect to gain from European cooperation? Concerning the Italian school, it is situated in a particularly disadvantaged region, where there s the prevalence of Juvenile unemployment and an inadequate development both tourist and industrial. The Austrian, German and Spanish schools are multicultural centres with students coming from different countries, in particular the Spanish students come from 20 different countries, while the 30% of the German ones are migrants from Turkey, Croatia, Kosovo, Eritrea, Serbia etc. Last but not least, the two Rumanian schools have students coming from poor areas, where unemployment prevails. In consequence of this, most parents are obliged to work abroad, leaving their children with other members of the families. Moreover, many Rumanian students are gipsy children, for whom special efforts are made to integrate them. We consider that this partnership is extremely important for our schools within the context of the European Community. Our students feel the need of knowing better and appreciate the European values, so that they can really be considered European citizens. Our objectives are to develop intercultural relationships and exchanges by using ICT and a shared interactive website. We want our teenagers to become active European citizens. Therefore, they will be taught and trained to collaborate and work in teams, to perform partnerships with their colleagues from other countries 08_PA_COM_

25 and the ICT and foreign languages will be used as intermediaries. The borders of the European community will be removed; there will be only a free and open space, where we ll be able to travel and meet our own partners. 5.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE PARTNERSHIP - What are the concrete objectives of the partnership? - Explain what subjects or problems you intend to address. - What approach will you take to achieve your objectives? The objectives of the project will be the following ones: to favour a quick communication among geographically distant European partners, within the United Europe, through the use of the new media (internet, video-conferencing etc.); to consolidate the students competence in using foreign languages and their own mother tongue; to let students use not only their computer science abilities but also their creativity; to make the educational context aware of the social problems (in particular racism and xenophobia) and favour the union among peoples with different backgrounds at international level; to let all the educational staff develop the skills of teamwork; to produce a common website; to edit materials on the web: articles, video clips, short stories, fairy tales etc..... The project will be focused on the cross curricular learning and, therefore, as many subjects as possible will be involved, from literature to religious studies. A communicative approach, based on the use of I.C.T. and foreign languages, will be used throughout the whole phases of the project. First of all, teachers will exchange information with the colleagues of the partner schools and work together on common topics and common didactic activities. Students, on the other hand, even the disadvantaged ones, will be encouraged to get in touch with other European penpals, to share common interests and information of various kind. They should be motivated to make research on different topics, to use their creativity, to use foreign languages and their own mother tongue and to improve their abilities in the field of the computer science technologies. The local communities (students parents, other schools, etc..) will be able to find all the final products on the web site, common to all the participant schools. 5.4 PARTNERSHIP AND DISTRIBUTION OF TASKS Please explain the distribution of tasks between participating institutions and the competences required from each of them. Also explain how you will ensure the active involvement of all partners in common partnership activities. The coordinating school will establish the contacts (via e.mail) with the partner schools and will coordinate the various planned activities. It will always give support to any participant in case of 08_PA_COM_

26 difficulty. Finally, it will create, maintain and update the common website with the materials produced by all the partners. The new technologies, such as internet, e.mail, chat, videoconference will be used by all the participants. They are indispensable for a quick communication among partner schools. Together with the necessary software, they will be used to elaborate the common website and the other final products (video, CD Rom, multicultural newspaper, collection of short stories and fairy tales.). 5.5 COOPERATION AND COMMUNICATION Please explain how effective cooperation and communication between participating institutions will be organised. Cooperation and communication between participating institutions will be organized through a clear, detailed, common plan of activities, which will be monitored throughout the different phases of the project in order to test its efficacious results. All the educational staff, in particular teachers and students, will exchange information with the partner schools and work together on common topics and common didactic activities, sharing common values end, above all, the awareness of being European citizens. They will also have the opportunity of taking part in the mobility and enriching their own cultural background with a European dimension. 5.6 EUROPEAN ADDED VALUE What impact and benefits of European cooperation do you expect Partnership activities to have on persons (pupils and staff) and on the participating institutions? The impact will be significant not only on the participant schools but also on their local communities. As already said (point 5.3), first of all, teachers will exchange information with the colleagues of the partner schools and work together on common topics and common didactic activities. Students, on the other hand, even the disadvantaged ones, will be encouraged to get in touch with other European penpals, to share common interests and information of various kind. They should be motivated to make research on different topics, to use their creativity, to use foreign languages and to improve their abilities in the field of the computer science technologies. The local communities (students parents, other schools, etc..) will be able to find all the final products on the web site, common to all the participant schools. The benefits of European cooperation will be, as we have already stated in point 5.5., sharing common values end, above all, the awareness of being European citizens. All the partcipants will be aware of the social problems of their own countries and, at the same time, will feel brothers, without prejudices, in the United Europe. 5.7 RELEVANCE FOR THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME Please tick in the table below, the objectives of the Comenius programme that your Partnership will address, in addition to the first two (if any leave blank if none): X To improve the quality and to increase the volume of mobility involving pupils and educational staff in different Member States 08_PA_COM_
