The project "We can do it together" was born from the idea of some 14 year-old pupils who suggested support activities in order to help some of their colleagues who have weak school results. We know that in each school there are students that have good results and students who are not good at school due to different reasons: their lack of interests, teachers’ uninspired lessons, students coming from social disadvantaged areas or from migrants’ families, students who have special needs. Groups of students with good grades (who are participating in this Erasmus+ project) together with their teachers will identify a number of pupils that need help in order to improve their grades and pass National Evaluation and also to diminish the possibility of school failure. Mixed groups of pupils (having good and bad marks) will stay together in class at different lessons and work together in different projects. Each student that needs help will spend additional hours of after-school help (e.g. At least 3 hours a week preparing for school and 2 hours a week for extracurricular activities). They will make some projects on various themes: e.g. the most popular game in their countries, the most famous story, the most famous musician / sports man or woman – living personalities in each country, the National Day and the story behind it. The projects can be in form of a Power Point presentation, CDs with video or audio recordings etc. All activities will be recorded and uploaded on the project site (using Twin Space). The aim of the project is to enable pupils from partner schools to help colleagues from their own schools that either are at risk of school failure or have special educational needs to improve their grades and personal development. They will improve their digital skills (e.g. working on projects, designing web pages or blogs), their linguistic skills (communication in mother tongue and foreign languages) and their social skills (helping those in need). All of this will help them to become more self-confident and social-aware European citizens. The objectives of the project: - To improve the pupils’ sense of initiative and entrepreneurship - To improve the pupils’ knowledge of foreign languages - To improve the pupils’ digital competencies - To increase pupils’ active participation in social life - To increase pupils’ motivation for daily school and after-school activities The project should be carried out trans-nationally to gain information about how other schools deal with school failure, to exchange good practice models. Working both inside their school and outside their countries, pupils’ work gathers a European dimension. They foster their creativity, entrepreneurial spirit and active citizenship. The project will be a joint activity of six different countries from all corners of Europe: Scoala Gimnaziala "Principesa Margareta", from Romania, Osnovna šola Cvetka Golarja, from Slovenia, Liceo Classico Carducci Cassino, from Italy, 2nd Experimental Lyceum of Athens, from Greece, Zespol Szkol Samorzadowych w Rejowcu Fabrycznym, from Poland and Agrupamento de Escolas do Fundão from Portugal. In the project will work between 100 to 300 pupils from each partner school and 10 to 30 teachers from each partner, depending on the school size. The pupils are between 10 to 16 years old and the teachers have different specialties. FINAL PRODUCTS: - The final product of the first year will be a multilingual book, in digital and paper form that contains all the stories written by all partner schools on the given themes. - The final product of the second year will be a multilingual book, in digital and paper form that contains all the stories written by all schools on the given themes. - Every story will be written both in English and in the languages of the countries involved. - The final product of the whole project will be a web site containing all materials produced by pupils and teachers. - Intellectual output: A good-practice booklet about introducing A PEER-LEARNING METHOD into different schools and various subjects. Pupils will work together, being both promoter and developer of the activities. They will work together during classes and in their free time. Pupils will do school assignments and extracurricular activities. They will use computers, books, magazines, mother tongue and foreign languages and they will produce Power Point presentations, documentaries, and albums with photos. Pupils will learn more about their own culture and about others. They will voluntarily help those in need, becoming better people and aware citizens. At the end of the project, the pupils are supposed to become autonomous learners. The pupils who previous had bad grades are supposed to become aware of the importance of going to school and of learning.
