On the spur of myths in the d@rkness of history

Description

"The main objective of the project ""On the spur of myths in the d@rkness of history"" is to enrich learning and increase motivation among 150 students of 15-18 years of age from sixth partner schools in the area of second language learning based on mythology topic within 24 months of the project’s duration. The project aims at enriching teaching methods by implementation of IT techniques, developing digital skills, improving linguistic competences in the area of oral and written skills, increasing the level of knowledge on various mythologies and preserving its cultural heritage as well as internationalising the partner schools by forming long-lasting cooperation. To meet the objectives of the project we planned 7 LTT activities and local activities in our schools and in the local areas that will be carried on within the duration of the whole project. Taking part in different activities students come in contact with a variety of mythologies and cultures, they will be examining ancient times and their effect on the modern world. Activities will cover a range of skills, starting from creating various tasks using digital tools such as creating genealogical tree of the gods using Popplet application, creating mythology comic using Flipgrid or Toondoo platform, graphical representation of hero's events or processes using RWT Timeline app, presenting the events from the God’s life using MindVector app, writing a diary of mythological character’s or making biograms of modern mythological figures. Those activities will enrich the teaching in class and develop student's reading comprehension, oral and written production in Spanish/English language. During LTT activities students are going to get acquainted with Roman, Norse, Lusitan, Galoroman and Slavic mythologies. There will be educational visits to local sights that have a mythological background. The students will also get to know the idea of digital storytelling and go through various phases of preparing a digital story starting with pre-production phase including development of the story, setting and characters, writing the script and a storyboard, following to the production phase that brings the story to live by using various techniques such as tableau vivant, one stop motion, theatrical performance and finishing with the post production phase that compromises completing film stories with sounds effects, voice, music and final editing using available film editing programmes. After each LTT, the students working in groups are going to prepare digital story on the basis of the myth they learned during the mobility. Participating in workshops, laboratories, interactive tutorials on filming with specialists will require interaction with peers, common discussing and cooperation to achieve the results of the task. The project will have a positive long-lasting effect on all participating institutions; the teachers will benefit from the project by improvement of methodologies, flexibility of the pedagogical framework and modernization of the resources. The project will serve as a reference of the integration of information and communication technologies in the teaching of foreign languages and cultural and historical heritage. This will allow for an increase of the high schools’ popularity and make them attractive for young people who would like to participate in European programmes which ensure cooperation among the schools, which will provide the possibility of sharing problems, good practices and solutions, and will include good knowledge and exchange of ideas on different aspects of educational work The project results will be disseminated at the local, regional and European levels and they will address various recipients."
