‘AROUND THE WORLD IN HERITAGE’ is a bilateral KA229 Erasmus+ project leading to a school exchange between ‘IES Cueva Santa’ (Spain) and Salgótarjáni Bolyai János Gimnázium (Hungary). These two secondary state schools share an important interest in boosting the international dimension of the institutions and also the development of bilingual or multilingual programs which have been implemented for some years.Being our priorities ‘Social and educational value of European cultural heritage’, ‘Supporting individuals in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competences’ and ‘Teaching and learning of foreign languages’ we aim to get the following objectives: -Get our students to recognise, identify, value and respect the cultural and artistic expression of their own home areas.-Develop in our students a sense of belonging to the European Union and offer them the opportunity to obtain a deeper understanding of another European culture.-Improve our students’ linguistic communication in English.-Boost our students’ autonomy and entrepreneurship by having to live in another culture for several days and understand other ways of life and also by making them prepare the materials needed for the different activities, carrying out the research and making decisions cooperatively.-Develop the capacity of socializing and team building. These last objectives will help our students prepare for real life and for the working world, since they will acquire a conscience of good citizenship and social well-being.In order to fully accomplish these objectives, both schools will commit to create an optional subject within the school curriculum where participants and teachers will work thoroughly the different aspects of this project and prepare the activities that will be implemented following a Project Based Learning methodology.As far as the participants is concerned, we will have a group of 36 students and 4 teachers participating in the two short-term exchanges included in the project. There will also be a group of participants contributing to the different activities developed locally; this group is composed by students, teachers and parents.The project will last for 24 months during which two types of activities will be carried out: two short-term exchanges and a series of local activities. The short-term exchanges will last one week each and will include some workshops related to the cultural heritage of both countries. The local activities will be focused on an approach to the students’ different cultural and personal realities and they will be implemented through collaborative work and the use of eTwinning.At the end of the project, all the involved participants will benefit from the activity having different perspectives. As for the students, they will recognize, identify, value and respect the cultural and artistic expression of their own home areas and of a different country. They will improve linguistic communication in English as they will need to use this language during all the project. We expect to boost the students’ autonomy and entrepreneurship. Moreover, all the planned activities will enhance the capacity of socializing and team building. On the other hand, the students with fewer opportunities will have the chance to feel part of a European project in which, initially, most of them would not have participated.Parents will also benefit from the activity as they will broaden their sense of European citizenship and will experiment the international dimension of the school.Teachers will exchange points of view and experiences with their partners as they will have to work very closely during all the exchange organizing and supporting their students. Informal conversation is always a source of inspiration and reflexion which will enrich them professionally and personally.All in all, the development of the project will contribute, on a personal level to promote the sense of belonging to the European Union among the participants from both countries. The success of the project may be the beginning of a path towards new collaborations, increasing the number of partners. After the short-term exchanges have taken place, friendship between the students will have been reinforced. Long- term exchanges are another possibility to apply for. It’s a decision to be made after the end of the project.Finally, we aim to broaden the impact of our project beyond the participants and we have designed a dissemination strategy which will reach the rest of the school community as well as other schools in the area. We intend to share our experience more widely through eTwinning to enrich other students and teachers and promote the European Cultural Heritage and the learning of foreign languages.
