UNESCO Heritage
Date du début: 1 sept. 2014, Date de fin: 31 août 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The partnership consists of schools from seven countries (Romania, Portugal, Turkey, Greece, Croatia, Italy and Czech Republic) with a rich contribution to European spiritual and cultural heritage. The “Unesco Heritage” Project brings together our desire as teachers to teach our students how to be taught by the past and recognize the importance of sustaining, preserving and appreciating it. We are all part of a whole; we should cherish what unites us. Cultural heritage is under severe economical and social pressure. It is imperative that we campaign for its defense and preservation as something unique and unrepeatable. It is a social and political urgency since contemplating about our past can only lead to better educated decisions about our future. We aim to raise awareness so that governments, pressured by public opinion, change their misleading politics concerning heritage. It is the school’s duty, as a teaching and educational institution, to instill in the youth and in the school community, the values of defending and preserving our cultural heritage thus creating active and interventional citizens. We believe it is urgent to awake consciences, educate to change mentalities and create a new generation of concerned citizens who can relate to their roots, heritage and realize the need to preserve it. This project intends to stimulate the pursuit and consolidation of knowledge in our youth. In a playful and innovative way, we try to motivate the students for a lifelong learning and instill in them the importance of school in this process. Our work proposal also aims to develop good practices leading to the consolidation of concrete objectives in the Social Entrepreneurship, since the main purpose of it is to change mentalities and attitudes to historical heritage, helping to enhance conservation ethic. It is intended to provide the conditions so that the younger generations can educate themselves on the importance of the preservation of our cultural and natural heritage, which, moreover, constitute our collective memory. We propose to develop creative and innovative ideas that seek to minimize the social problem of forgetfulness and lack of sensitivity towards historical values. Cultural heritage is not to be taken for granted. We need feed it , preserve and cherish it as a true life form. The activities planned by our partnership are: 1. A common web page for communication (forum for teachers, school presentations, photos and a forum for students) and dissemination. 2. Workshops on new educational tools and strategies . 3. An intercultural festival in one of the country. 4. A final international symposium with articles that will be published in printed and electronic format. 5. Development of new “European cultural identity” curricula by engaging the students in motivating and educational activities that result to accrued, cooperative knowledge: - create a mini-puzzle with UNESCO national monuments and national symbols, as a board game, and in virtual format. -create an on- line competition for a European map with students’ painting, (Unesco tangible heritage). -create a photo-hunting European electronic-map, using photos of Unesco tangible heritage monuments. -use an e-twinning camera for improving this new curricula and develop common evaluation tools to measure the satisfaction grade of the students. -develop electronic lessons using IT tools. Our goals are mainly student focused as we aim to: -Instill "good practices" in heritage preservation. - Provide the younger with a sense of belonging, to a European community with strong cultural identity and continuity through the knowledge of the Unesco World Heritage -Provide the conditions for multicultural experiences that promote respect for social, linguistic and cultural diversity. -Consolidate a sense of European citizenship through cultural and linguistic exchange. - Exemplify the principle of communicating vessels between the Local, Regional, National and European History. - Based on the historical research, develop communication skills, ICT and foreign language skills. - Develop data processing and linguistic skills by giving the students hands-on experience on planning and organizing a common project. -Implement projects within social entrepreneurship -Development of transversal skills for European students. - Prove our willingness to integrate good practices and new methods into daily teaching activities and thus enhance the professional profile of a dynamic and committed European teacher. Every intellectual output will be openly accessible to the general public through the internet and in printed form. There will also be dissemination activities organized in each country through digital presentations, crafts fair, festivals, interviews, blogs, e-magazine, articles, media coverage. The project and web page will be open to other cities in Europe, so other schools can lern about Heritage and preservation.
