The project

"DEVELOPING ABILITIES TO SOCIALIZE. TEACHING AND LEARNING NEW PERSPECTIVES BY SHARING"

The learning process is best realized when students are confident and at ease. The quick attachment to new technology has changed patterns of young people’s communication and has affected face to face interactions. The virtual media challenges us, teachers, to develop our students’ skills to ethic communication. Throughout our project we intend to train our students’ abilities to socialize both in the virtual world and in reality. The aim is to educate students in inclusion and tolerance through participation in team activities shared with our European partners. Developing social skills will promote understanding of other people and in turn democratic acting. When students become aware of their abilities they experience the environment in school as a zone that encourages them as individuals. They can use all their capacity for learning. Well-being is fundamental for reaching good results and preventing drop outs.

The activities carried out in this project improve our collaborative teaching as we will plan together, share and evaluate methods and tools such as e.g OER, ICT. The teachers in this project will continuously share the progress on the eTwinning site. Because of the personal experiences of the participating teachers, different ages, national curriculums a.s.o. , different methods of building and strengthen teams will be shared between teachers and taught to the students. The students’ will be motivated in different ways develop their social competences in a variety of situations in a European perspective. The teachers’ pedagogical issues will expand and become issues in European perspectives to prevent intolerant acting among young people. This is important for all young people while they are shaping their personal identity.
