Starting in September 2014, this project entitled "Together Through Tourism," will investigate developing and current European tourist destinations in each participating country (UK, Poland, Belgium, Spain, Greece and Turkey). Our investigations will consider 6 areas ; culture, the environment, economy, sustainability, planning and development and finally alternative forms of tourism in the destinations. The main aims of the project, which are to promote not only our European partners', but also our own destinations, language, and culture to students will give them the opportunity to create and develop innovative ways of sharing their research, both in the real and virtual worlds, with 5 other partner schools. Project ideas and new friendships will be shared through both social networking sites, with project tasks ranging from making destination guide booklets, filming videos and creating magazines. We have included our 5 partner schools from all over Europe; north to south, east to west and have a diverse range of schools participating. Some schools bring vast experiences of multilateral partnerships whilst others are entirely new to the concept; allowing us to not only share best practice but provide an opportunity for innovation. The schools bring a wealth of knowledge to the project that match our 6 key themes. The activities designed will be embedded into our schools curriculum and will also allow students to gain knowledge and understand of the 6 key areas, in preparation for creating their destination guide booklets. Activities throughout the project include students presenting from a business point of view, creating marketing strategies and suggesting ideas for revenue. They will then pitch their ideas to a panel in a "Dragon's Den" style activity that will enable them to develop the skills needed in the world of work. Students will also work in planning committee to design a new tourist attraction and must take responsibility for budgeting, designing and promoting their attraction. They will also create a display on greenways tourist trails and humorous sketches between a travel agent and clients will highlight the various types of alternative tourism. The project will also aim to educate students on the importance of tourism directed towards natural environments, intended to support conservation efforts and observe wildlife. The project will be given an added dimension on foreign visits with countries further sharing national traditions and culture through activities such as an "international picnic" and the creation of a video on traditional items. To celebrate and commemorate the project, each country will design its own plimsole that encompasses the main themes of the project, here students will practice their teamworking skills. To measure the outcomes of the project firstly we will pre-evaluate the knowledge students have in the matter, during the development the activity will be evaluated in terms of keeping of timetable, fulfilling of objectives and increasing of competence of students involved. This will be done through the use of academic performance indicators to measure if the students have improved their literacy, numeracy and ICT skills. We will also conduct interviews and questionnaires with staff, students and parents. Other methods of evaluation include observations, written text, media evidence and the number of staff and student mobilities. Some of our results will be intellectual through the work that the students produce and will improve not only their knowledge of European tourism destinations but also their knowledge of the 6 areas such as; the environment. They will also improve their skills in literacy, numeracy through these activities. Throughout this project, students will not only be able to develop the skills and attributes (such as good communication and teamwork, effective time management, careful planning, self- confidence, and independence) necessary to become successful in life after school, but they will also be challenged to look at situations from their partner's viewpoints, reflecting on the differences, but also the similarities that our countries have which ultimately bring us ‘together’.
