5. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PARTNERSHIP

Please note that this section must be completed jointly by all institutions participating in the Partnership and must be identical in each
copy submitted to each National Agency.

5.1 SUMMARY
Summary of the planned Partnership. This description may be used by the European Commission and/or the National Agency when providing information
on selected projects, so please be clear and precise and do not exceed 200 words.

The aim of the project is to extend the knowledge about the history of one’s own country which will be based on the
character of national heroes. Students from five countries are going to collect information concerning the chosen profile of
characters who played a leading role for the national identity inside the framework of United Europe. The project will help
the students evoke feelings of active citizenship through learning about themselves as growing individuals with their own
experiences and ideas as members of their communities opened to Europe. They will become more independent and self-

RESUMO
confident developing their sense of social justice and moral responsibility and understanding that their own choices and
behaviour can affect political and social institutions. Moreover, it will teach tolerance towards other cultures. The project
work will also help improving the students’ language skills thanks to the opportunity to use their knowledge in authentic
situations- in contacts with their mates from partner schools. Another aim is the promotion of European cooperation among
groups of teachers, students and parents as well.
The culmination of our cooperation will be a guidebook in the form of a brochure and a multimedia presentation presenting
the national figures from all the countries.

5.2 CONTEXT AND MOTIVATION


a) What is the general context of each institution involved in the proposed Partnership? Is there a specific context as for example: Are the participants
in disadvantaged areas? Do they have specific needs for pupils, staff or other groups, e.g. pupils at risk of social exclusion, pupils with special needs,
migrants, refugees? If so, please explain.

b) Why do the participating institutions want to take part in European cooperation activities such as this Partnership? What do they expect to gain from
European cooperation?

COORDINATOR- POLAND
a) General Context

Public Gymnasium nr 21 ( Publiczne Gimnazjum nr 21) is situated in a big city


– Lodz, which has about 800,000 inhabitants .
It is attended by young people who vary in terms of social status. There is a
group of students that requires financial assistance. The students with special
needs are dyslexic and dysorthographic ones.
Among our students there are not only the finalists of subject competitions, for
whom the participation in an international project will be another challenge,
but also those weaker students, for whom the project will be a great
motivating factor to get involved In the school life more actively.

Specific needs

RESUMO
The students with special educational needs – dysorthography and dyslexia-
will be given the opportunity to use the computer when writing.
All the students, regardless to their social or economic status, will be provided
with such conditions that will enable them to make use of the facilities
available at school and necessary for the project realisation (computer rooms,
access to the internet, digital camera, fax machine)

The group of students working on the Project will consist of girls and boys
equally . As far as the teachers are concerned - the dominating group are
women. However it is due to the fact that women dominate in Poland in this
particular job sphere.

b) The whole school community will benefit from the European project relating
to the following points:

 foreign language skills improvement


 promoting foreign languages learning
 increasing intercultural awareness
 the preparation to European Union extension
 evoking citizenship feeling as well as the sense of national identity in

RESUMO
PARTNER NR 2-TURKEY
a)General Context

BURAK BORA ANADOLU LĐSESĐ is located in a rural area called Kartal which is
a county with 400,000 inhabitants, in a big city-Đstanbul which has about
10,000,000 inhabitants totally. We have a variety of facilities such as Science
labs, computer labs, conference hall and gym. Lunch is served in our school
canteen. Our students are from different counties of Istanbul. The extra-
curricula and social activities are limited because of service buses leaving just
after the classes. There are students from different economic and social levels.
The students take an exam after primary school. They are placed to the schools
according to their exam results. After first year, the students choose their
subjects as Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Math etc.), Social science
(Geography, History, Literature etc.), Language etc. in our school. According to
their studies at school, they take a state university exam. It’s the 8th school in
Đstanbul due to the success at university exam.
Because, we want to get information about European Countries’ Education and
share our culture and also learn theirs. We wonder what the similarities and
differences are between their and our culture. We also want to learn about
what the instructional methods they use in their education systems and how
much technology they use. We want our students to use their second language
(English, French) in social life to express themselves in English. We would like
to emphasize the importance of European citizenship among groups of
teachers, students and their parents. While working in a team, members see
different views and learn to be more tolerant to other ideas and thoughts.
Therefore, such studies are the best way to incorporate with different cultures
and to promote European cooperation.

PARTNER NR 3 ITALY
a) General Context

“Vito Capialbi" Secondary School is in the capital town of the province of Vibo

RESUMO
Valentia which has about 35,000 inhabitants. The province consists of 50
villages and towns spread over an area comprising mountains, plains and
coastal resorts. Many of the students in the school are commuters and travel by
car or by bus every day to the town of Vibo Valentia from the outlying villages.
Public transport is scarce in the afternoon so extra-curricula activities are
limited.The school is situated in the town centre. It is not a really
disadvantaged area but students have not great economic possibilities since
they come from rural and agricultural villages and that is why we would like to
give them the possibility to meet European friends and let the students know
new places and cultures sharing a Project which can link different countries.
We would like to help our students acquire the basic competences necessary
for their personal development, for future employment and for active European
citizenship since the region itself, Calabria, which is located in the south of
Italy has the highest unemployment rate in Italy. About 1,175 teenagers from
14 to 19 years old - including some pupils with special needs and a few at risk
of social exclusion - attend the school which is subdivided into four major areas
of study: languages, psychology, sports science and social studies. All four
areas consist of a five-year course finishing with the State Exam which gives
access to University Faculties.
The realization of the project will give the opportunity to all the students
involved to participate in spite of differences due to socio-economic reasons
and in the complete respect of gender equality. Particularly, activities such as
“circle time” will be planned to help students who are shy to acquire self-
confidence.

b)We want to take part in European cooperation activities because


International Projects are very useful to broaden the idea of Europe, they help
us to be really in touch with different cultures and extend our knowledge
through learning European values.
Moreover they will help:
• to raise motivation in our students, staff, parents and local community
evoking feelings of active citizenship as well as the sense of national

• to emphasize the concept of diversity while insisting on equal
opportunities;
• to reflect on moral, social, and cultural issues, using imagination to
understand other people's experiences;
• to resolve differences by looking at alternatives, making decisions and
explaining choices;
• to learn about a wider world and the interdependence of communities
within it;
• to take more responsibility, individually and as a group, for the students’
own learning;
• to encourage the learning of foreign languages since we are a school
specializing in the study of European languages ;
• to support the development of ICT knowledge through the
communication among teenagers belonging to different European
countries;
• to improve the quality of the teachers’ professional training through
European experience;
• to integrate and corporate the theme of the project in the school regular
curriculum.

5.4 PARTNERSHIP AND DISTRIBUTION OF TASKS


Please explain the distribution of tasks between participating institutions and the competences required from each of them. Also explain how you will
ensure the active involvement of all partners in common partnership activities.

All partner schools will equally carry out the project tasks that will be connected with the selected character and at the
same time keep the deadlines formerly established. The schools will contact one another via e-mail. The coordinator of the
project will be the 21 Public Gymnasium in Lodz, Poland. During the planned workshop meetings, the partner schools will
work out the material formerly collected and they will share their knowledge and skills. Also, they will summarise the
given stage of the project. Each school will start by preparation (in any form) of the project. This will be a presentation of
their institution. Then, each school will organise an exhibition that will present information on partner schools and
information about the stages of the project.
Each school will organise a competition for the best project logo at each school. Next step is working jointly on the project
logo . Each school will select a character to work on ( a survey distributed among the students) and then present it to the
partner schools. Students will prepare artistic works connected with the selected character as well as they will search any
traces that are connected with the character (statues, streets or schools named after the character in the partner schools’
countries). The effects of their work will be shown in the form of a presentation. We have also planned to create a special

RESUMO
project website. Each partner school will create a brochure including information on the given hero. The final effect of the
cooperation will be a guidebook produced jointly as well as a multimedia presentation “Following our national heroes”.
This will present the selected characters and the places connected with them. Each partner school will stage a scene of
their chosen character’s life. There will also be a musical concert dedicated to the characters chosen in each of the partner
schools. Finally, there will be an evaluation survey distributed in all participating schools and the results of the survey will
be presented during the last meeting of the schools.
All planned activities will be divided into local and international ones.

5.5 COOPERATION AND COMMUNICATION

Please explain how effective cooperation and communication between participating institutions will be organised.

The cooperation and communication among the schools will be maintained via:

5.6 EUROPEAN ADDED VALUE


What impact and benefits of European cooperation do you expect Partnership activities to have on persons (pupils and staff) and on the participating
institutions?

The involvement of five countries in the Project that vary in terms of culture, history and geopolitics will guarantee the
promotion of intercultural integration – the cooperation of students from different cultural zones. Such makeup of partner

RESUMO
group will allow to look at the project from different points of view. It should also influence the elimination of any religious
, gender or race prejudices.
Getting to know the national heroes who are very important for the history of the countries will affect the shaping of civic
virtues in our students. It will also evoke the feeling of tolerance and respect towards others.

5.7 RELEVANCE FOR THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME


Please tick in the table below, the objectives of the Comenius programme that your Partnership will address, in addition to
the first two (if any – leave blank if none):

13
RESUMO
x any of the eight key competences set out in the 2006 Recommendation1

overcoming socio-economic disadvantage and reducing early school leaving

awakening and reinforcing creativity and innovation


extending participation in educational opportunities through sports activity

If you have ticked an objective (5.7) and/or priority (5.8) above, please explain in detail the concrete measures or activities you intend
to take to address it/them:

Encouraging foreign language learning- in today’s Europe it is becoming more and more difficult to function properly
without the knowledge of foreign languages. The employees with good command of other languages and having
intercultural qualifications are more and more wanted in the European labour market. They are highly competitive, which
contributes to economic growth and the creation of good work positions. Multilingualism strengthens the social unity and
promotes intercultural dialogue, thus, giving the opportunity to discover new values, beliefs and behaviours.
The participation of our students in the programme will undoubtedly be the promotion of foreign languages learning. A
foreign language here is not only a tool to convey necessary information for the project, but also it constitutes an essential
factor, that is needed during partner meetings, chat sessions or e-mail correspondence. Thus, strengthening foreign
language competency is an obligation without which we cannot function properly.
The working language will be the English language. Nevertheless, we will encourage our students to make use of other
languages (German, French) in their contacts with students from partner schools.

Making use of information and communications technology in the process of learning throughout one’s life - computer
science competence of the students and teachers will be used in all stages of the project work- starting from communicating with

1
Recommendation 2006/962/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 on key competences for lifelong learning, OJ L
394/10 of 30.12.2006.
The eight key competences are: Communication in the mother tongue; Communication in foreign languages; Mathematical competence and basic
competences in science and technology; Digital competence; Learning to learn; Social and civic competences; Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship;
Cultural awareness and expression.

14
RESUMO
each other (e-mail, chat sessions, webblogs), creating joint projects (website, multimedia presentations of all kinds) to the final
project-the guidebook (in the written and multimedia form) _”Following our national heroes “ Web tools based on information and
communications technology are easy to use, relatively affordable and more and more common. They make it easier to share the
knowledge and distribution the results of the work. Their wide availability affects the increase of social awareness.
The materials, which will be created during the project work will then be very useful didactic tools-not only for history and languages
teachers but also for a wider group of recipients- in various libraries.

Civic and social competences- during our two-year cooperation we will work on the topics such as: the history of one’s
own and partner schools’ countries, analysis of the national characters, who played a great role in creating national
identity. We will study how far they influenced the history of our countries and at the same time our present lives. The
theme of the project with its focus on gaining cultural identity and achieving active citizenship will help the students get to
know themselves through getting new experiences.

5.9 EVALUATION
How will you evaluate whether the aims of the partnership have been met and the expected impact has been achieved?

During the project work, we will assess what we will be doing by different kinds of surveys which will be distributed among
students, teaching staff, parents and associated partners. Depending on the level of advancement, the work on the survey
project will focus on various themes. For instance, first survey to be carried out in each of the schools will set a question “If
you were to choose a national hero/ a figure meritorious for your country, who would that be and why?”
During the workshop visits, the students involved in the project will prepare together a presentation “Let’s meet” (they will
introduce themselves, say where they come from, what they liked best during the visit and what could be improved). The
summary and evaluation of the first year of cooperation in front of the international public comprised of partner schools can
take place during the first workshop visit in Portugal (June 2009)
We can present here the results of evaluation survey previously carried out among the students, teachers and parents.
:”What did we like best in all-year cooperation/what could be improved in the following year?” The evaluation will also take
place in the second year of cooperation in the partner schools, and then its results will be presented during the workshop
visit in Greece (June 2010). The evaluation of each step will include its influence on the students, teaching staff and the
local environment. We will discuss the aims we managed to achieve and the influence of the project on our lives and the
school organisation.

15
RESUMO
Deferred evaluation- each school after finishing the project work will carry out an evaluation survey whose results will be
presented during the meeting in each of the schools. The students, teachers, parents and associated partners will take part
in the meeting.

5.10 ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT


If your partnership focuses mainly on pupil involvement, please explain to what extent they will be involved in the planning, implementation and
evaluation of project activities.
And/or
If your partnership mainly deals with pedagogical or management issues, please explain how all relevant staff will be actively involved in planning,
implementation and evaluation of project activities.

The dominant subject of our activity during the project work will be students. Therefore, they will participate actively in all
stages of the project work : in the planning- they have sketched the main theme they wanted to explore, in the
implementing- they will be the actual doers of the planned activities , in the evaluation- they will work out and fill in the
survey, thanks to which we will be able to assess strong and weak points of our cooperation. The teachers will be there to
coordinate the students and at the same time they will take advantage of the possibilities that an international cooperation
gives: improving the qualifications of using the foreign language, familiarising themselves with education systems in other
countries, making use of Information and Communication Technology in Education .
Both students and teachers or associated partners will take part in various evaluation surveys- varied in terms of the
advancement of works on the project.

5.11 INTEGRATION INTO LEARNING AND/OR OTHER ONGOING ACTIVITIES


If the project focuses on pupil involvement, please explain how the project will be integrated into the curriculum / learning activities of the participating
pupils in each of the participating organisations.
And/or
If your partnership mainly deals with pedagogical or management issues, please explain how the project will be integrated into the ongoing activities of
the participating organisations.

16
RESUMO
The theme of the project itself allows us to incorporate it into the educational programme of all the schools. Terms such as
national figure or patriotic values are current on history or native language lessons. The students will be able to carry out
particular tasks also on the subject lessons – Art (the logo of the Project, the national figure portrait) Computer Science
(New generation of platforms and net tools based on Technology and Communications, multimedia presentations, chat
sessions, video-conferences, websites, weblogs, virtual meeting spots ), Music ( verbal and musical dramas) and finally on
English lessons (translations for the guide book or multimedia presentations, creating webblogs, communication among
the partners. )
The contact with from other countries and making use of the latest technologies will influence the increase of students’
motivation and will make the learning process more attractive

As it is clearly seen, the main theme of the project is not only universal, but also interdisciplinary.
The key concepts of our cooperation, such as a national hero, cultural identity, active citizenship, tolerance or cultural
variety of European countries are discussed on a number of lessons in each of the schools. Undoubtedly, or project can be
included in the educational plans of all the schools.

5.12 DISSEMINATION AND USE OF RESULTS


How will you disseminate and use the results, experiences and, where applicable, products of the Partnership?
