Key points of the project
• It provides a European dimension to the school’s activities • It makes learning by competences easier
• It changes the role of the learner, who becomes an active protagonist
• It changes the role of the teacher, who becomes facilitator and guide
• The teacher therefore: - allows greater students autonomy in work organization - integrates teaching with various learning strategies - applies different modes of assessment with focus on the achievement
of individual competences
