ABOUT 'SHARING OUR LEARNINGS'

Description of the project

We believe that diversity is richness. That's why, we would like to share our learnings with our partners from different countries. In this project, students will share their learnings on a certain topic which are in our National Curriculumn. They will prepare presentations about the topics in order to present their peers during the common classes determined before. After the presentations, we will play a game created by the students with web tools as an evaluation of the presentations.    
 

Aims

Volunteer students in each class will summarise teaching sequences and present them in English to the partners creating slides and quizzes to share with all the other partners. Those volunteers will develop a wide range of skills, from understanding and organising ideas to effectively communicating those ideas in a clear and meaningful way. Allowing them to create quizzes on Kahoot for their peers is a method rich in pedagogical benefits as it combines content learning with the development of linguistic, digital, social, and collaborative skills while fostering engagement and motivation through a fun, interactive approach. We do hope that all the students who will (only) take part in discovering the presentations and answering the quizzes will listen carefully and try their best to gain new knowledge in English about the English-speaking countries and more widely about the whole world. If we can and if it is appropriate, we will allow time for discussion in the form of questions and answers in live or using the Esep Forum after the presentations during the visios.

Expected Results

The expected results for this eTwinning project where students share their learnings with European peers, would be divided into educational, cultural, technological, personal and collaborative outcomes. Indeed, through this project, students will in a first place improve their academic skills, foreign language skills, and digital competence. They will be able as well to enhance their personal and social development, increasing confidence as sharing their work with peers across Europe will help them build confidence in their knowledge and communication skills. The teamwork and collaboration within students teamworks from different classes, will require them to coordinate efforts, share responsibilities, and (probably) resolve conflicts. Self-expression will be involved thanks to creative tasks such as creating a logo for the project. As students will be interacting with international peers, it will build empathy, understanding, and social skills. Students will gain cultural awareness and understanding through the project and maybe insights into the cultures, traditions, and daily lives of their European peers, permiting a greater cultural understanding and appreciation. It will participate in building their European identity as the project will encourage students to see themselves as part of a broader European community, promoting a sense of shared values and collective European identity (Europe seen as a continent). There is no doubt students will gain technological and practical skills, using collaborative tools, developing project management abilities practicing planning, organising, and completing tasks within deadlines. More widely, the project will allow creating shared resources (presentations, documents, videos) that can be used by students and teachers beyond the duration of the project. Students will be able to write about their findings and experiences, and share it with the wider community with exhibitions organised in the schools, on the schools' website, Facebook account or in local newspapers. We shall be able to apply for quality labels, asking for national or even European certificates and recognition. This collaborative work could open up future collaboration opportunities. The participating schools may enhance their reputation as globally-minded institutions committed to innovative and international education.
