You And Me Together In Europe

Our vision of the project is to take the learning beyond the classroom to bring about lasting change to our whole local communities' ways of thinking about people with different cultures, religious beliefs or ethnicity.

We hope that -

Pupils will:

• Have an awareness of the European community and their role in it
• Be able to identify the similarities and differences between their lifestyles, cultures and traditions
• Show tolerance and respect to others
• Understand the importance of treating everyone equally and acting accordingly
• Be able to communicate effectively using a variety of ICT skills - email, internet, website and video conferencing
• Improve their basic skills across the primary curriculum with an emphasis on language and communication
• Have improved self esteem and be capable independent learners

Staff will:

• Have a teaching resource to contextualise their lesson planning
• Develop their ICT and language skills
• Create a virtual network to communicate, share ideas and solve problems
• See other educational systems in action and learn different pedagogical and methodological ideas

Others will:

• See schools working positively with their European partners
• Share in developing a greater tolerance and understanding of other cultures
• Support pupils to share ideas and customs
• Develop a better understanding of their own culture and those of other nations.
