Some clues to consider while working on

an interdisciplinary project:

● 1. when you decide on the topic, make sure that

the project will stimulate your students to act

creatively,

● What matters in your life?

● Two neighbours - one perspective.

● Together - in search of the future.

● European class. Can we learn new things from each other?

● Historia magistra vitae est. Can history be a teacher of life?

● Music, dance and fashion. Are you into them?

● World War II : Keep it a History.

● 2. (in my opinion) it’s better when a project refers

to different subjects and fields of learning,

● 3. make sure that the topic, activities, ways of

communication are interesting for your students,

● 4. while formulating the topic and deciding on the content:

● -try to make them simple and catchy,

● -try to refer them to your students’ life and experiences,

● -don’t concentrate too much on the educational aspects (the project should attract, not scary off)

● 5. give your students as much autonomy as possible,

● 6. your project should make a change (ways of work, ways of thinking, gaining new skills and abilities, establishing new relations),

● 20. mix pupils from partner schools in

pairs or in mixed groups to ensure that

each pupil has at least one partner,

● 21. integrate the project into the

curriculum by doing the work during

contribution from pupils (and not

perceived as extra work).
