Eurotopia: Building our Future European City.
Date du début: 1 sept. 2014, Date de fin: 31 août 2017 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Our project is called "Eurotopia". It is a utopian vision of a European city created by about three hundred pupils aged between 12 to 15 years old. We are five partners from France, Spain, Italy, Denmark and Germany who first met through eTwinning projects. With this project, we want to physically meet our partners in order to create a common product: our dream city. Nonetheless, as Rome was not built in one day, we decided to choose a three-year project and to concentrate on five key themes: the vision, the building, the citizens, the entertainment and the future. For the creation, pupils will be the ambassadors of the future city and they will imagine a story to explain why this city needs to be created, they will decide on common ideas and they will film a campaign ad to elect their representatives. The elections will take place in each school the same day to choose the "founders" of Eurotopia. For the building, pupils will reflect on waste, water and space management in their city and they will start building the first eco-friendly monuments on a 3D software. For the citizens, pupils will find the best future jobs, they will plant a garden, create a restaurant to feed them and let them express themselves on the radio. For the entertainment, pupils will paint their city in the manner of famous artists, they will invent a sport and the musical identity of the city. For the future, pupils will invent the most innovative school and organize a ceremony for the official opening of the city. Our main objectives for this project are to: - raise awareness of European cultural diversity and similarity; - develop the feeling of European citizenship; - improve communicating skills in English; - develop key competences and skills needed for the future labour market; - enhance a change in teaching methods by developing innovative practices. We will work via different ways like: - preparing activities in each country before a mobility; - working in groups of mixed nationalities during a mobility; - creating feedbacks after a mobility; - using new technologies to create the city but also to communicate and cooperate; - observing lessons in each country to develop innovative teaching. Concerning the impact and results, we want all the participants to improve and enjoy their communication skills in English in order to get confident and foster a desire of mobility. Moreover, we hope the bondeage created during three years between our pupils will continue outside and after the project. We also want the teachers and schools involved to bring about a change in attitudes and way of thinking education. Finally, we wish this project will attract more partners to work with us to create a larger European network .
