WE'RE ERASMUS+

The project is aimed at pupils aged 4 - 11 years. Education of pupils at primary schools between 4 -12 ages is difficult while using classical methods - at classrooms, at desks with textbooks, by means of memorizing and explanations. That is the reason why we all want to improve our educational methods in more subjects - Geography, History, Literature, Art and foreign languages. We would like to show to our younger students the look to other European countries with another way, not only to learn about Europe at the desks, but to travel abroad personally or to meet peers from Europe in virtual mobilities, videoconferences,... We want to motivate pupils to study independently, to search for information about the countries of Europe, their geography, history, traditions on the Internet, to acquire knowledge from presentations, quizzes, games, to create posters, collages and, in particular, to create their own opinion on the lifestyle, culture and school educational system in European countries. We will use a big number of funny and interesting methods, various games, riddles, quizes, songs and painting to achieve the aims of this project and make school subjects and education more attractive for children. So we will also develop the talent of children in Art, Music, sport, dance. Because we will use various digital technologies working in this project, such as virtual mobilities, new ICT Tools, digital camera and video, website, pupils will be more educated in Informatics and get some experiences working with computer and this way improve their digital skills, too.

Because of realize some international activities and changing experiences we will organize short- term exchanges of pupils and short-term joint staff training events at partner schools. We would like to exchange the best and modern practices in educational process of primary subjects. This activities will be significant not only for children but also for teachers because we will follow and learn some innovative teaching methods in partnership schools and consequently test them out at our own schools. During teacher trainning events we will organize seminars to share our experience with teaching methods at primary schools and this way our teachers get knowledges about educational system and methods of other European countries.
The teachers and pupils, who will participate in visits, will be able to join the educational process actively. Because we will talk most the time in English pupils will be able to improve their communicative abilities in English.

The pupils from disadvantaged background will be involved in the project activities, too. They will beencouraged to take part in all local activities and also travel abroad. All these aspects will contribute to strengthen their self-confidence, broaden their horizons and it will be great motivation in the learning process. We are sure that these options increase their interest in education and we expect better learning achievements.
