Description of the activity

​

Active learning and peer –to –peer cooperation is the main methodology for LTT. Students of six different countries will communicate in English and
cooperate in pairs and groups, during workshops and later via internet, which will lead to development of 21st century skills: communication,
creativity, collaboration, critical thinking. WEB 2.0 tools and 21st century skills used in the classroom will enable success for our learners in the
future, winning greater capability as independent and curious individuals. Peer-to-peer cooperation means that pupils will be taught by pupils with
teachers from 6 European countries preparing the pupils for this task and supporting them jn the implementation, Teachers therefore have to face
new challenges, have to develop new ways of working and learning and have to live up to these new expectations. The pupils will learn to act
independently and responsibly. All these collaborative and language skills are highly important in today's labour market.
During the meeting in Poland we will first organize some warm up activities , letting participants learn about each other and integrate. There will be a
traditional dance lesson, group games (e.g. a paper chain of best own abilities stated by students, mindmap on tolerance and culture topics). Next,
students will take take part in workshops on using web 2.0 Internet tools in the classroom, where they can try their skills.
Teachers and students will learn to use Prezi. Students will create a presentation about their countries and region, paying special attention to
economic situation and leading branches of business. They will use pictures, videos, write about their homeland to present it to peers. Teachers who
attend the meeting as accompanying persons will actively participate in workshops together, get trained with new tool. After return they will
implement new tools and project tasks to lessons and school curriculum.
Also the following activities will be organized:
- Opening Day. Presentation of project
- Presentation of the school through showing the main profiles of the institution
-attending some lessons which can aid to reach our project goals (IT lessons, English lessons)
-workshops on Prezi
- eTwinning workshops

Activities will be integrated with the normal work of each partner school, as during 2 years each of 6 planned digital tasks will be conducted at regular
classes. After meeting in Poland partner schools will work for two months with all students to create a Prezi about their countries and regions. All
works will be presented in TwinSpace and oo project blog at school, and the best will be awarded prizes - diplomas and digital gadgets –pendrives, headphones or educational CDs with project logo. Students and teachers will also collaborate in eTwinning -share presentations,
stories, attend chat.
