Multilateral Comenius Project set to enhance our International Links

Posted on: 15.02.2009
We have now submitted our application to the British Council for a multilateral Comenius project.

Multilateral partnerships are cross-curricular projects that involve at least three schools or colleges from at least three European countries. They enable staff and students in the UK to work together with partners in other Comenius eligible countries for the duration of the two year partnership.

In addition to learning more about other cultures and gaining an insight into other teaching practices, participating staff have reported increased enthusiasm and motivation from colleagues and children alike, often resulting in raised standards across the curriculum through such partnerships.

The benefits to the school include valuable opportunities for staff and students to work together, develop focused approaches to problem-solving, and build pedagogical programmes. Pupils and students also have the possibility of visiting their partner institutions through the funding available.

Our proposed project will be entitled, "European Citizenship, what's happening?" and will focus on teenagers' lives as European Citizens and teenagers' cultural and economic awareness with emphasis on good citizenship. Collaborative, innovative and motivating foreign language teaching will be established through 'student to student teaching' by using multimedia and ICT as communication tools.
