context / background / objectives of the project Due to the hectic and very rapidly changing society in the EU, we want to give the pupils and the teachers of the partner schools a unique learning opportunity to work better together, to experiment with the many facets of technology, to discover their talents. We develop as many talents as possible from everyone. All children, underprivileged, non-native speakers, migrant population and also the inclusion pupils are fully covered. We start at a very young age. Preschoolers work together with primary school students. In Belgium a lot of experience exists on teaching to above mentioned audiences and we would like to share this with other countries .We give students a broader view of European society. The pupils and teachers learn a lot from each other. We improve the quality of education by learning from and with each other. The education system needs to adapt its objectives and methodology towards promoting and encouraging skills needed to guide the pupils in in a more productive, effective and happy way towards the society. Educational institutions and families are the key factors in achieving well-balanced people who may have success in their vital objectives, learning how to solve conflicts in an effective way and definitely that they are happier and more optimistic people. This project includes a high innovation experience by creating a virtual learning environment where all participants in the project will share resources and activities. The project is composed out of two tracks: 1) The first track concerns concrete activities for the pupils of pre-primary education (assisted by pupils of the primary school) that are realized by all partner schools and that materialize in step-by-step guides and explanatory guides. 2) The second track concerns experience sharing of teachers: pre-school education teachers will share good practices during 5 joint-staff events (3 joint-staff events on 'personal and social competences' and 2 joint-staff training events on' engineering competences '). We start from the strengths of every school / country. After each training activity each school chooses at least one good practice that the teachers test in practice and provide feedback on. All acquired methods will be bundled (on the website and on ETwinning) for future re-use. An important aspect of our project is the dissemination of achieved results. The provided IT tools will allow us to network with teachers from all over Europe and interactively exchange experiences. The final aim being learning through each other, and ensure that we as a school team are better skilled to do our job and provide the best education possible for the next generations. participants: (schools from Italy, Spain, France, Iceland, Belgium) (900 pupils and 150 teachers are reached) All partners have been chosen on following topics: * a strong focus on the development of the personality of children * existing expertise on the project's themes The partnership has been established through different contacts: partners were identified on the e -Twinning website, by filtering on topic. Contacts were established with the ones who showed enthusiasm, reactivity and collaborated with innovative ideas. Three partners are new to European projects (Spain, Iceland and Italy). The coordinator (that has acquired already experience in projects at European level) will provide those with the necessary support in the organization of the project. Objectives, long term benefits and results: objectives for the teachers *teachers want to strengthen their didactic skills to help the children develop their personal and social competence and the engineering competence. *teachers learn from each other methods around the project theme that guarantee the social inclusion of all pupils in the classroom. *strengthen the quality of education to develop insight into new ways of working and tendencies etc. objectives for the pupils (3-12 years): *the children develop a strong personal competence: they discover what their talents are, confidence in their own abilities, great well-being, self-esteem, etc. *the children develop a strong social competence: they can work together within a diverse class group, they learn that everyone has strengths and weaknesses, *the children develop a strong engineering competence: they are motivated for learning about engineering / technology, they learn problem-solving thinking, etc. Results: 1) we make a bundle of the good practices that we got to know during the joint-staff training, published on e-twinning 2) the step-by-step guides: a handbook with assignments to reinforce pupils' personal, social and engineering competence through language-poor assignments that guarantee the inclusion of all pupils. 3)the website, with pictures, plans, movies of the activities, the lipdub, ... 4)games, tests that we can use every year.
