This project is based on provision of Erasmus+ program which focuses on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the development of 7-14 years students’ literacy, writing and reading skills in primary and secondary English language teaching levels. There are 3 main objectives to the project : - to support the development, transfer, implementation and dissemination of innovative practices in the teaching of literacy ;- to focus on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) both as an innovative means of presenting material and also as a tool for collaborative work in the creation of curriculum resources ; - to advance students’ knowledge of the diversity and richness of cultures and languages of Europe by selecting towns’ history, traditions, culture, crafts from different parts of Europe as the shared curriculum content.The project is based on using modern and digital teaching/learning methodology when all the activities are student - centered and organized as collaborative learning (teaching) and thinking based learning with peers, to make the students conscious about the differences and similarities that all of the partners have got related to culture, traditions, developing thus, students' critical thinking, writing and reading on social current issues in Europe. The main idea of the project is to analyse, describe, and present our towns’ history, traditions, culture, and crafts and in such way to develop students literacy basic skills. In spite of the fact that the history, culture, crafts of each town is different, the project attempts to find common ground and reveal it of different European towns because not only countries’ capitals are the most beautiful and interesting cities with lots of interesting traditions, sights, culture, secrets also countries’ towns have its own history and culture heritage.The project is oriented to innovations, innovative teaching methods, cooperation, creation and students’ basic skills and competencies development. Majority of projects have already researched traditions, cultures, countries capitals variety but this project‘s innovation is that every participating country will explore their native towns individuality, exclusiveness, will try for various even for them own unknown or less known interesting, for history important places, monuments, traditions, and even crafts. The project envisages the following end- products: common illustrated ""International Book of recipes, legends, saga's, games for children"", recording of traditional dances and songs, a website, photographs, quizzes, reports, movies, presentations, a calendar of festivals illustrated with artwork, physical and digital displays, a brochure with innovative teaching methods as a guide for teachers, a multilingual dictionary, all of which we will enrich the store of didactic tools in the area of traditions, culture, crafts, history which could be used long after the project has ended. Also an educational-interactive language classroom for students where they will have a possibility to develop their writing and reading skills in modern, attractive classroom's environment.Students and teachers will develop their ICT competencies, communication, critical thinking, social, language skills by creating presentations, movies, crosswords, questionnaires using various programs, participate in educational activities in non-formal environment. Teachers and the school will gain new experience, because they will get acquainted with other educational methods, will improve their knowledge of exchanges between schools, they will also improve the level of communication between teachers, develop their language, social, collaboration, critical thinking skills. During the project, students will learn more about European towns, countries, traditions, history, culture, will gain new ideas, experience. They will have a possibility to interact with students of European towns, who will be interested in traditions, crafts, history.Cooperation between different countries will help to improve the quality of education and the level of motivation for everyone : school and teachers, students, parents. It will promote the use of foreign languages, ICT. It will advance our understanding of European citizenship and respect for other cultures, traditions. By visiting each other we will discover more tolerance, understanding, experience, openness creativity courage to share, to show that live in a towns are not so bad. This project will be an important step in teaching tolerance and respect not just of itself, but also for other cultures, traditions and customs."
