Show me where you live ! : (Re)Discovery, valorisation and transmission of the heritage of a European territory by its young inhabitants

Description

"The project “Show me where you live ! : (Re)Discovery, valorisation and transmission of the heritage of a European territory by its young inhabitants” (MOMVI) concerns Montdory High School in the Livradois-Forez national park (rural territory with medium mountains, not valued as much as it deserves to be by tourists/inhabitants). It's public is rather fragile, with little financial resources. The school is willing to take part in a European project to develop the learning of a 3rd language and allow access to culture for a public not used to in their families. ""Monna Agnese"" High school is an urban and privileged Italian school from the centre of Sienna, in the very touristic/frequented Toscane area. It runs a lots of European projects and wants to develop it since it brings a lot for students and teachers (new ideas to collaborate, exchanges, new activities…). MOMVI's starting points : these two different territories have common touristic points. Some students never have the chance to travel abroad, and those who have usually go far away and don’t even know what is worth visiting near their territory. Our goal is to open their minds towards at the same time their own territory and a bordering country, and make them become culture/language ambassadors. We hope being a relay to discover a territory will be motivating, rewarding and rooted in student’s everyday life. Initiated by Italian/French teachers, MOMVI will use new information and communication technologies (internet, social networks such as Instagram, on-line quiz, video/sound editing, digital photography, video calls, interactive posters…) to promote a “living” learning of languages. From 2019 to 2021 MOMVI will allow about 80 students (17-18 years old) to take part in cultural/linguistic exchanges which will help them improve their foreign languages' skills and teach them a new way of being a tourist : visit less-known places, prefer meeting interesting people instead of following classic touristic paths, care for the environment. These new touristic skills could be reinvested and shared. The classroom's knowledge will be reinvested in MOMVI producing written work/oral conversations in order to make students understand that learning a foreign language properly at school is requested to communicate at a European scale. Topics of the curriculum will be dealt with related to a concrete reality, vocabulary will be learnt using it directly, and all of this should convince students that learning a language is more efficient by practicing it actively. MOMVI’s results : posters/texts (presenting a territory, a knowledge, a local way of life/craft, an industry), video/audio guided tours, on-line quiz (to reinvest knowledge an pass it to other people in a funny way). Students will make videos during the project : a « travel diary » to explain the discovery of an area and its specificities, and a « commercial advert » to promote it. MOMVI's website will show all the results of the project and all its activities, be a relay to promote the project in local medias (newspapers, radio, webTVs…) and ensure its visibility for parents, other schools, students, teachers, tourists offices, local partners… MOMVI will work through a constant digital contact (emails, 4 video calls/years) and physical encounters (4 mobilities) with immersion in another school system and in host families, “off the beaten tracks” tours of the area. The main idea is to discover a territory, its typical craft, its people and natural resources. Using the social medias students already use every day (instagram, skype, whats app) will insure their commitment. At each step of MOMVI teachers will fill an on-line file to follow its progress. To secure an efficient cooperation students will work in pairs: 2 french + 2 italian. MOMVI will include self-assessment for students regarding motivation/commitment, evaluation forms and questionnaire about « what kind of tourist are you ? ». Volunteers will take the certification in Italian/French. After MOMVI : Some students may consider going abroad for their studies, or make a carrier in tourism jobs or interpreting. They still can communicate with each others. Some could become « greeters » (keep on taking guided tours to introduce their territory to foreign tourists), or MOMVI could have triggered the wish to follow such guided tours by inhabitants when they travel for themselves. MOMVI may be the starting point of a beginning partnership which can go on for many years between our two schools. Our experience in this European project could be used to begin others, with other countries/languages. We also hope that the visibility of this project will increase the number of students choosing to begin a 3rd foreign language in both our schools. The videos made by students during MOMVI will be very useful to highlight the teaching of italian/french and the new ways of teaching with Information and Communication Technologies at school (TICE)."
