Multilateral Comenius School Partnership
The project ‘N.E.S.T. – New Europe with Stronger Ties’ addresses the fundamental issues of contemporary world: cultural and religious diversity, national identity, equal rights and ecology. We drew our inspirations from Paul Gauguin’s famous painting: ‘Where do we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?’. Each of those 3 existential questions corresponds to 3 thematic areas of the project:
- Our Roots
- Our European Identity
- Common Future in the United World
Impact on students:
- increase motivation in learning foreign languages and develop language competence through real-life conversations in multilingual context.
- foster lasting friendships free from prejudices and stereotypes
- redefine Ss identity and assist to generate a responsible and tolerant European citizen
Impact on teachers:
- enhance Teachers’ linguistic fluency and develop ICT-based skills
- contribute to Teachers’ professional development through staff mobilities.
- offer a chance to understand partners’ educational realities and priorities
- equip Teachers with new qualifications by confronting their techniques with foreign solutions
Impact on schools :
- introduce changes to curriculum by integrating project activities into didactic process
