"""Our Shared History - Prehistoric Europe"" is a project which intends to unite all Europeans through their shared heritage. As our small world becomes more and more multicultural each year it is essential for a strong community, be it a city or country, to not focus on how we are different from one another in various ways but to celebrate what we share. As most educators realize, education is key to tackling racism and bringing down cultural barriers, therefore through this educational process of research and team work, the students will enjoy the opportunity to socialize with peers from different cultures than their own. Through this project we hope to merge together students from different backgrounds and cultures so that they may co-operate and collaborate together to discover their shared history. The aim of the project is to examine, investigate and analyse prehistoric Europe, with the focus being on ""our shared history"". To complete this project each partner school will complete a fact-finding quest which will provide an over-all view of the prehistorical history of their country in relation to society, beliefs and culture. Using this data together we will compare and contrast the history of each country and then compile a ""shared history"" of Europe. During the visit to each country the participants will engage in activities such as visiting museums, experiencing an archaeological excavation workshop, speak with real professionals from the historian world and visit numerous numerous UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Newgrange in Ireland. Following the mobility to each partner country a site will be taken as a key case study for which the students will research and use as their basis of evidence for their findings regarding the society, beliefs and culture of each country in prehistoric times. It is intended that the students will develop and improve on numerous skills such as their ICT, language and analysis skills as they collaborate together with the common goal to create a snapshat of prehistoric Europe. As the students unearth their shared history they will understand and appreciate the importance of uniting together to create a stronger Europe. This project will broaden their horizons as they are presented with the opportunity to engage with other cultures and see what careers in the field of history there are available in Europe, a continent with a vast and rich past that is still awaiting to be fully rediscovered by archaeologists and historians. There are five partner schools working together to achieve the aims of ""Our Shared History"". These schools are located in Ireland, Italy, Spain, Greece and Croatia. Together we will work to guide our students through every step of the project and aid them through the process of dissemination which will ensure that our project benefits as much people as possible. All materials generated during ""Our Shared History"", evaluations, minutes of meetings,social media pages, photographs and personal blogs created during the activities will be uploaded to a TwinSpace page which local schools and the greater community will be granted access to. Information nights about Erasmus will be hosted and local teachers will be invited to our progress meetings, the intention behind this is to teach as many people as possible about the opportunities surrounding the Erasmus programme so that more schools feel comfortable applying for projects of their own. The students themselves will create social media pages, brochures, posters, powerpoint presentations, write detailed reports and host talks to other students about ""Our Shared History"" and the results that were generated as well as their overall experience."
