Summary

To prepare children for their future as responsibly behaving adults, good schools have to contribute

towards developing intercultural awareness through promoting a better understanding of

children’s own and of different ways of life and cultures. (Focus: European Juniors) Good schools have to improve social skills to enable children to

cooperate in different social relationships by respecting other peoples’ rights and tolerating differences. (Focus Social Education) Good

schools have to develop children’s responsibility for their environment. (Focus: project learning

about environment)

Primary school children work in first-hand learning situations by acting, playing and having concrete experiences. The settings have to be simple and authentic. In this project children will acquire and

improve knowledge and understanding in the areas of- cultural expression, evidenced through letters, wall displays, videotapes, paintings and digital films of songs and dances - social and civic responsibilities evidenced through reports,

staff group discussion, games and drama- awareness and responsibility concerning their environment

evidenced through project learning including observation and investigation as an approach to develop knowledge, competency

and receptivity.

Within this project parents will be motivated to cooperate responsibly with the children and the staff.
