Young People Across Europe:
Living Conditions and Vocational Perspectives
The project language is English, so that all results have to be prepared
in this language.
· Participants :
Finland, Spain, Slowkia, Czech Republic and Germany
· Starting the project:
We start the project in September 2010, every partner starts directly after the summer break.
· Reliability:
It is of absolute importance that every partner keeps to the agreed timetable!
If there is a problem meeting the deadline it is necessary to spread this information to all partners!
Project Description
The project is intended to present a realistic and vivid picture of young people across Europe concerning their living conditions and vocational perspectives: In the first project year we want the students to present to their fellow students in five other European countries their everyday lives, educational situation and leisure activities using creative media like computer programmes (powerpoint presentations e.g.) and films. This material will be evaluated by the other students and joined into a comparative anaylsis showing the differences and similarities of youngsters' everyday lives, education and leisure activities in six geographically, culturally and economically diverse countries across Europe.
In the second project year we want to focus on the differences in the educational systems, available apprenticeships, vocational training opportunities and studying courses at university level. Again the information should be presented as innovatively as possible using new computer tools, graphic design and computer animation to make the presentations interesting and tangible for the other students. The presentations are going to be evaluated by means of a comparative analysis in order to give a clear and vivid picture of the differences and similarities of the educational and vocational perspectives for the young in the six different European countries. The comparative report is then made available to students, teachers and other interested persons within the school and the regions in order to learn from the international differences and possibly improve our own systems.
Please keep in mind the aims of the project!
- To become more aware of the fact we are now part of Europe and as such improve European integration and commitment.
- To create and develop contacts and exchanges between students and teachers from the European Community on the one hand, and students and teachers from countries expecting to join Europe in the near future on the other hand.
- To encourage the students to learn other languages, especially English.
- To encourage the students to learn and use the available information technology: to work with a computer, use various sorts of software and the internet as a tool.
- To get used to interdisciplinary work.
- To make classes more vivid and give a deeper insight into the related subjects thanks to "real world" experiences.
- To develop cooperation between students and teachers.
- To learn about, compare and discuss the teaching methods used in the partner schools in order to learn from the partners' ways of teaching and thus improve the quality of our own teaching.
- To build appropriate assessment tools together.
