<< Objectives >>The Shared (Hi)stories project mainly aims at broadening the minds of secondary students in the EU with regards to cultural and historical heritage while perfecting their English skills. We want the students to start looking critically and from different angles at (hi)stories with cultural and historical contents that traditionally are told from a one-sided (national) perspective. We want them to be critical observers and create a strong EU awareness as well as the feeling of EU citizenship<< Implementation >>We will start by creating an informative booklet on cultural heritage, story telling and critical thinking. We will produce a collection of shared (hi)stories and place them on an interactive European map. After that, we will create a teacher training program for language teachers that want to learn how to use story telling and cultural heritage in their classes, which will be accompanied by a set of ready made lessons. Finally we will release a youtube channel with 24 shared (hi)stories<< Results >>With this project we expect to offer language teachers around Europe with new and innovative project based methods and lesson material for their language classes with which they will not only help their students to improve their linguistic skills through story telling, but also to foster critical thinking skills with regards to cultural and historical heritage and how these can shape their own EU awareness, shared values and sense of citizenship. We are all part of one European Shared (Hi)story
