Am I European?

Lawrlwytho Adnoddau - Download Resources

This project is addressing the rise in extreme viewpoints and confrontation by helping pupils and their communities to develop skills in negotiation, critical thinking, social media literacy and ultimately a sense of diverse European identities.

Working in partnership with schools from Spain, Turkey, Romania and the UK who have a school community from a wide variety of backgrounds, including some who have never had the experience of working with people outside of their own locality let alone from different parts of the world. By giving our partners the opportunity to go out into different communities in Europe, will provide their teachers with a side ranging set of resources that can be used to widen their children’s knowledge and understanding of the world for years to come.

We used a baseline assessment to measure skills and attitudes/values of staff and students at the start of the project and at the end of the teaching and training sessions to see the impact on skills, attitudes and values related to the project theme of ‘Am I European’. We will refine these tools to develop a robust methodology to record attitudes and values and make comparisons between local, regional and European participants. 

This project was funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ programme.

The project is currently producing 4 Intellectual Outputs which will be transferable to use by other stakeholders interested in the development of Critical Thinking/Evaluation/Debate/Negotiation skills combined with active research by students. The IOs will include:

IO 1 - Teacher training pack – controversial issues and appreciative enquiry 

IO2 - Teacher and pupil research resource pack

IO3 - Teacher training handbook - content analysis, social media literacy and skills for debate and dialogue

IO4 – Evaluation
