Project – Details

1

Learning Portuguese by Singing (Language and Civilization)

 

This project aims at creating didactic material to study the Portuguese language and culture within the heterogeneous environment of a secondary school in France. The results and finished products are disseminated in a European network, which is created throughout the project.

The goal consists in making students of Portuguese descent rediscover and learn the language of their own and the other lusophone countries through song. Thus, the culture and language are being valorised in the school setting.

The action program envisions project meetings, conferences on the project’s content, meetings with Portuguese singers, the production of a textbook to learn the language through song, and an audio recording. The method is being tested in France as well as in Lisbon before being disseminated among the participants.

The Mediterranean Region as Part of the European Identity

 

Developing pedagogical and didactic material with an intercultural perspective, this project intends to integrate a specific geographical civilisation setting: the meridional Europe and the Mediterranean Region.

The project's concept comprises approximately 50 topics regarding this geographically confined region and relates to both their historic and current backgrounds.

The subject areas are geared towards secondary education levels.
Some examples are: the Crusades, communication and its codes, the relationship between time and religiosity, music and its instruments, and more.

Adjuk, the little Frog

 

Creating an intercultural dynamic that revolves around the creation and dissemination of a children's book. The story of the frog „Adjuk“, who tries to improve the understanding between all animals is the content of a children's song that is being illustrated by the book that is. As follows, the project’s target group are children from pre-school through primary school. Beyond reaching the children, parents should also be sensitised for intercultural education as a topic.

The final product will be distributed in schools of the three participating countries as well as in different public institutions interested in the subject. A pedagogical methodology for using the children’s story as an intercultural tool is being developed at the same time. Additionally, paint and musical workshops as well as a travelling exhibition are being organised to ameliorate relations between Maghreb and Europe. Interculturality and tolerance are the project’s two main subjects.

EUROPEAN PRIMARY VILLAGE – A European Concept for the professional development of teachers in play and primary school

 

In order to realise this concept, an internet-based platform is being created and designed. This project facilitates the experimentation and the transfer of experiences among teaching personnel.

The project thus envisions developing concrete measures that include creative learning in play and primary schools. 10 different pilot groups within the 4 participating countries lead various experiments to design measures in the following subject matters: Art, Music, Sciences and Literature. The teaching personnel are being taught to integrate the new information and communication instruments in their pedagogical, educational and didactic activities. The experiments’ results are being used to develop different modules in the realm of continuing training.
