THE INFLUENCE OF BOOKS

Description

"The participants involved in the project have been from five countries: Italy, Germany, Latvia, Romania, Turkey. The project started from the idea that a child who reads books will be an adult who thinks, books are the most important means to develop critical thinking, language skills and reading abilities. All partners have worked on the belief that education is powerful and it is the most important strategy that people can use in order to develop their economic, social and democratic condition. Through the school support, students can effectively learn how to read a book from a critical point of view, they can think about different aspects of life, values. The objectives of the partnership have been: - to form in students the behaviour of reading daily and finding pleasure in reading books, also different genres of books, - to raise the percentage of involvement in activities related to Arts, ICT, Media, Social, Literary and Volunteering activities, -to teach students how to use a book in order to produce their own products, developing creativeness and spirit of enterprise, -to develop ICT skills, which have played an important role too, throughout the project,- to stimulate peer from peer education, - to boost the feelings of being an important part of the European Community. The actions that have taken place during the implementation have been:Involving the students in activities that implied reading different genres of literature (philosophical books, novels, poetry, biographies) from their own national literature and working on the extracts to create the tasks as required in each meeting (writing scenarios, essays, developing a poetry magazine and shooting short movies). The teachers’ support has been relevant in each activity. They have coordinated and supervised their work. The students have used creativeness and ICT skills and developed critical thinking , through the discussion with other partners, through exchange of ideas, besides students’ communication and social skills, have been developed, as well as personal and interpersonal ones.

The chance that the project offered to the participants, to get in direct contact with each other at an international level, to work together to obtain mutual goals have brought positive impact and changes on the participating institutions. Both the direct and indirect participants have been greatly influenced by the partnership. Teachers’ feedback is positive: they are now more experienced and have learnt from their peers’ experience to organize different local activities and to organize international project departures.One of the most relevant result of the project has been the impact on students in term of ‘educating’ and forming ‘active citizenship’. The most part of the families have taken part to the project with enthusiasm and then they have confirmed their will to host other children in case of future projects. The experience has been positive from many points of view, but according to the feedbacks, this raise of the feeling of being part of a European Community has been the most significant as longer-t"
