Love my city
OUR PROJECT
The project ,,LOVE MY CITY" reunites 6 schools from France (coordinator,) Austria, Denmark, Norway, Turkiye and Romania (partners). Our project motto is Alvin Toffler message:
"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be the one who cannot read or write, but the one who cannot learn, deviate and revive. Those who can do this are tomorrow's leaders.”
This partnership offers students and teachers in our schools the chance to learn together and exchange examples of good practice about the use of new technologies in community life, about healthy eating and well-being, about religion and beliefs as defining elements for social competence, about traffic safety, the inclusion of students with special needs in city life and the protection of the environment and the use of renewable resources.
Our project resulted from the application of a SWOT needs analysis in each partner school and aims to train students and teachers the skills and competences for 21 cc and prepare students for better life in their cities.
The last semesters have shown us how important it is to use technology in education, to give students a chance to be connected with school and teachers in crisis corona time and normal time in life and how important is connection with people all over Europe to find a common solution for this problem.
As a result, the students and teachers participating in our project will acquire computer and digital literacy. This implies analysis, approach,
management, integration, evaluation and creation of information in different environments, in a context of cultural literacy by promoting local values in an international context.
