"The idea of the project "" EMBRACE THE WORLD"" is to enhance the quality and effectiveness in early age education, as well as to establish equality, social bonding and active civil participation;Via the project, we will ensure the opportunity for every child participant to acquire the needed social knowledge and skills to fulfill their civil role, to be trained to exercise their rights and fulfill their responsibilities, to solve interpersonal, local, national and global problems showing constructive, pragmatical and critical thinking, freedom of thought and independence of will.The main goals are directed not only towards children growing up to be active members of society, ready to participate in its management, but towards forming a sense of compassion, belonging to societies bigger than tje family.The project will be realized in three stages during a 24 month period.We will create a parallel eTwinning project for sharing of pedagogical ideas, innovative forms, methods and techniques for development of emotional intelligence in children. An e-book about the partnership will be made, with a dictionary of greetings and expressions of friendship, respect, support and compassion in the partners' languages.In stage 1 - ""The world is big"", children will get to know the partners, study their history - geographical positioning, flag, traditional costumes, dances, songs;Stage 2- ""Be my friend""Sharing innovative methods and techniques for forming emotional intelligence in children. (The described techniques and methods will be uploaded to Twin Space by teachers)- / What is friendship, techniques of developing rules for relationships, psychocorrectional tales/Children will create symbols of friendship and will present them via different techniques - drawing, modeling, theatre, music.Stage 3 ""If all people around the world were friends...""Making a ""tree of friendship""Children will study a traditional dance of the partners and will present it in a skype conversation.Everybody studies the song ""If you are happy ..."" in the partnering languages.At the final, each partner organizes a concert - ""If all people around the world were friends..."" for presenting the project.This project will help children define feeling of themselves and the world around them. This may include racial or ethnic identity, but may also include identities connected to family values, beliefs or experiences..Teachers will adapt innovative forms, methods and techniques for educating children and to hold on to the newest methods and best practices in European education.During 2 years, we will exchange good practices in order become more adaptable, to internationalize our schools, to improve the quality, and the continuous training of teaching staff by organizing short term joint staff training events. pupils will ensure a better language competence and ICT competencies.
