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 spell 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
assistance of teachers from 6 European countries, preparing the pupils for this task and supporting them in the implementation. Teachers therefore
will take on new challenges, as they 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 Greece, teachers and students will participate in a workshop on the use of web 2.0 tools in the classroom. They will work on
digital quizzes and puzzles. Teachers who attend the meeting as accompanying persons to students, will actively participate in workshops together,
get trained and familiar with new tools. After return they are responsible to implement new tools and project tasks to lessons and school curriculum.
