Next-Gen in Europe of 2020's

It is a Project that will last 2 years and involves schools from France,Turkey,Spain,Estonia,Italy and Belgium.Some of pupils in this Project come from disadvantaged backgrounds and all schools have lots of things in common,that is the main reason of the partnership.

The six participating schools have deeply analyzed their contexts(at a school and community level)to determine their needs:

-schools are settled in rural areas or low-educated neighborhood where levels of English are low. This affects mildly both students and teachers.However,students are unaware of these effects

-lack of knowledge environment to simplify the development of key competences/skills among students

-lack of teachers specialized in organizing and delivering training programs for the development of innovative practices and methods

Considering the needs above, this project wants to be innovative by analyzing different ways of learning and teaching in order to create new ways to develop the key competences in youngsters. We will focus on the transfer of ways of teaching and learning techniques in schools towards innovation. We will investigate which innovation processes are appropriate to develop methods that are successful for our society today. We will analyze all ways of teaching and learning in the schools involved in the Project. We have rural schools, CLIL school, ICT schools, Flipped school, Bilingualism school and a school from Estonia to analyze their method which a very positive model in Europe.

We have focused on the following objectives:

•To reduce the school drop out rates in the communities involved in the project

•To develop the key competences,such as ICT skills and linguistic competences using ways of teaching&learning focused on pupils

•To improve the linguistic competence in pupils in order to develop techniques and skills which will be essential for them in the world of work in a close future

•To encourage in pupils the capacity of work in Europe since early ages by working on linguistic and social competences

•To implement the European dimension amongst all participants,encourage in them internationalization and be openminded, which is so important to be integrated in a common Europe to prevent our communities’ members of social exclusion in the future

•To use ICT as international instrument of communication, elaboration, evaluation and diffusion of the results

•To improve students’ and teachers’ communication, group working skills, the use of English as common language

•To compare methods of teaching and learning,values of education,school organization and curriculum in order to look for innovative ways of teaching&learning such as CLIL(Content and language integrated learning),Flipped Classroom, ICT Appliciations&Tools, Drama and introduce pedagogical innovations

All schools involved in the partnership will work to achieve these aims due to we have nearly the same necessities. All partners have some strong point to implement the Project but at the same time all of them have necessities that will be solved with the development of the Project.We will focus on pupils from 13 to 18 years old to achieve the objectives of the Project.This group of pupils will work directly on the Project,but the whole school community will participate and will be involved in it. It is a very important Project for all teachers and they will have to participate in it in order to collaborate and investigate to look for innovative ways of learning&teaching.All teachers will participate to develop the materials and the manual that will be available and we will spread it out in order to help other schools interested in the method.We will start to work in a new way with the objective of improving the ways of

teaching and learning since very early ages at school.We will put it into practice since primary level in the close future with the purpose of increasing the quality of education at this level.

This project wants to be innovative by analyzing different ways of learning&teaching in order to create new ways to develop the key competences in pupils,the improving of ICT techniques and linguistic competence. We will create a commission or committee to select people who is going to select people, who is going to participate in mobilities, to evaluate the Project and to spread the results out, to intervene in an emergency and to control de budget.

We will have three main products:

• A manual with different ways of learning and teaching

• A dictionary with basic functions in our mother languages

• A book with fairy tales

Most of pupils included in this project are students with fewer opportunities and face problems such as geographical obstacles,economic obstacles and educational difficulties.We will evaluate each aspect of the project three times per year.It will be after learning&teaching mobilities.The different Commissions will meet in each country and they will report an information with the evaluation of all items.
