Let´s get school outdoor

Description

The project joined the schools of a similar size and character - small village schools. The partner schools were from the Czech Republic, Finland, Poland, Sweden and Spain. They live and work in similar enviroment and background - surrounded by nature, in rural areas, with close contact to the local community. These schools have similar opportunities and limits. They work in areas separated from the main centres, very often in rural areas with high unemployment. Their advantage is the healthy environment they are surrounded by. The aim of the project was to use this advantage and work with the environment. It was focused on Outdoor education. It showed children the environment around them as a source of knowledge. It helped them to respect and protect the environment. The project also wanted to open school to its surroundings, join it with the real life. It explored the ways of using Outdoor education in lessons as well as learning through various outdoor and out-of-school activities. The outcomes were shared on the common blog. The partners had the opportunity to compare there the results of their work and share it with children. For documentation we used the e-twinning site.The project was designed for three years. The first year dealt with using Outdoor education in different seasons, countrysides and climates. The partners worked on common activities, for example the sample book of naturel dyers, land-art, orienteering. The second year explored the ways of using Out-of-school activities in different school subjects. The partners profited from attending museums, theatres, concerts and other events connected with their education plan. The third year was focused on behaving and surviving in nature. It started with a short-term joint staff training event - Outdoor activities education course for teachers. They learnt there some facts, skills, activities and techniques they could practise with their pupils during the year - for example first-aid, surviving techniques, nature protection. Mobilities made a very important part of the project. There was a project meeting in each partner school together with a short-term exchgange of groups of pupils. We suceeded in taking more children abroad than it had been planned. Even if not all pupils could take part in the student exchanges they profited from hosting children from partner schools.The project helped the partner schools to implement outdoor education into their teaching plan in more extended level. Outdoor education became an important part of their curriculum.
