The project assumes the cooperation of two schools from Austria and Czech Republic, two neighbour countries which share a common cultural heritage in different areas (history, economics, arts, culinary art and so on) due to a common history as Bohemia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1918. Today, exactly 100 years later – after difficult periods of war and isolation – , especially the border regions of Austria and Czech Republic (Upper Austria and Southern Bohemia) have returned to a good understanding under the common flag of the European Union. Nevertheless the cooperation and understanding between Upper Austria and Southern Bohemia which are part of the European Region Danube – Vltava could still be increased which is the main goal of the project. Activities within the project should follow a long – term cooperation of the two schools, specifically continue on activities that could also include other schools or institutions of the European Region Danube – Vltava. The aim of the project will be to catch a common European cultural heritage in the eyes of the pupils. Although the target areas are very close one from each other and although there is a lot of shared heritage between Austrian and Czech culture, pupils of the actual generation often are not aware of it. So the project aims to figure out these commonalities and to make pupils conscious that a peaceful cohabitation in a European context is only possible by understanding the specifics of the neighbours’ culture – including its similarities as well as the differences. The THREE MAIN TOPICS of the project can be resumed as follows: LANGUAGE – CULTURE & HISTORY – TECHNOLOGY. LANGUAGE: A first important step to understand each other is a common basic language that nowadays is English. Nevertheless the mastering of the idiom of the neighbour population is indispensable in order to discover the common heritage. Therefore we would like to organize language courses in which the participating pupils and teachers will learn the basic competences of German and Czech language by using the method of CLIL. CULTURE & HISTORY: From the very beginning of the project, arts will play a fundamental role as different art techniques will be completed with digital photographs and a documentary video. Pupils take pictures or make videos of objects that represent a common cultural heritage between Czech Republic and Austria such as old houses, churches, castles etc. Alternative to photos and video clips the historical buildings/locations can also be painted or drawn. TECHNOLOGY: This activity will build bridges between the foregoing two activities (language course and course on cultural heritage). The pupils will work in teams of 4 students – 2 Austrian and 2 Czech students - and document the process of the whole project. As material of documentation will be used video clips, pictures, posters and 3-D printing. This multimedia documentation should always show the special cultural heritage object and present it to a wider public in English, German and Czech language (subtitles, etc.). The crest of the presentations’ preparations will be an exhibition to the public, officials and parents at special representation rooms. The project assumes an involvement of classic technologies (painting, drawing), as well as a suitable addition of modern technologies (photograph, HDR-photograph and digital video). Within the project communicative skills of pupils and their ability to work in a group will be developed. The development of art skills and creativity of the pupils will also take place. Individual activities will enable pupils to become aware of cultural monuments that dispose on a common cultural heritage between Austria and Czech Republic, broaden their horizons and enable them to understand our common history in a better way. At the same time it will bring pupils an interesting comparison of perception of this cultural heritage. For everyone a single cultural monument offers different aspects and for pupils, as well as for teachers, it will be interesting to figure out these different perceptions. We also aspect a positive influence on the area of tourism as pupils will like to travel in the neighbour country with their parents and friends to show them the original places they have visited and to talk to them about their positive experiences they have made during the project. This could also influence economy as pupils will be motivated to go abroad after leaving school for working or studying. The fact that pupils will learn basic knowledge of German or Czech language will encourage them to study or to work in Austria or Czech Republic what would be an enormous long-term impact of the project.
