Two countries - One Europe

Description

Our project, whose theme is Europe, aims to strengthen the relation between two schools in Slovakia and France. The two schools would like to work together to make videos and films, to organize exhibitions and to create brochures that reflect young people's relationship with their own country, Europe and the European Union.Our aim is to use informal and comprehensive language learning, improve key ICT competences and foster creativity and culture among students. Students will use ICT, history, geography, arts and culture, civics and a foreign language to work on the project.On the one hand, through videos, exhibitions and brochures, pupils express what it means to them to live in two different countries and at the same time in one Europe. On the other hand, they meet during exchanges in France and Slovakia.Two groups will be involved in the project: one from Ľ. Štúr Grammar school in Trenčín and the second from Baudelaire grammar school in Cran-Gevrier. Slovak pupils are 15-16 years old and they’re 25-30 in total. They can speak French at level B1. French pupils are 16-17 years old and they’re 25-30 in total. The level of their English is A2.Pupils from both schools will work in groups on videos. Each group creates a video on a specific topic. The final videos will be presented by the pupils at the partner school during the exchange and will then be published on Youtube.com and eTwinning. It is important for pupils to communicate with each other in French from the beginning of the project. We would like to introduce the film in cooperation with both cities at film festivals that take place alternately in both cities in Slovakia and France.The project will include an exhibition of photographs from the exchange - at both French and Slovak grammar schools. The exhibition will include photographs depicting the pupils' relationship and their shared experiences.Pupils will present France and Slovakia and their inclusion in Europe through brochures. Each country will be presented in 10 points. The brochures will be distributed at both schools and cities in order to inform the wider public about their own country as well as its partner country - its history, culture, language, etc.Our schools have more than twenty years of tradition of exchange stays. This tradition led to the creation of a partnership between our cities. Exchange stays allow students and teachers to stay among people of other nationalities and lead to tolerance towards others and are the best prevention against extremism, racism and intolerance.During the exchange, pupils from Annecy - Cran-Gevrier visit the town of Trenčín and pupils from Trenčín visit the town of Annecy - Cran-Gevrier. The pupils are in contact for months before the exchanges and they know each other well. Experienced teachers at both partner schools have several meetings with them before their physical mobility and at least one meeting with their parents. Security is very important and, given our many years of experience in organizing exchanges, we can provide it during their stay. The exchanges are also supported by town halls and civic associations and the partner relationship that exists between Cran-Gevrier and Trenčín.Our aim is to make students aware of the historical and cultural heritage of our country, as well as the fact that we are all part of one European Community.
