MY CITY, MY HOME, MY RESPONSIBILITY

Description

History has been shaping our countries’ destiny and made us who we are. We've planned our project as an adjustment or alternative to the classic school history teaching method that shall include new realities of the labour market, so that our students will have the required skills and competences to become competitive on graduating. We identified our students needs as: high IT skills proved in a thematic of multidisciplinary approach; good command of foreign languages use; the stimulation of our students emotional and competitive intelligence in an wider context - achieved through exercised communication and team work in an European project. We also identified the theme of the project: areas/ buildings of the city that are either misused or should be paid attention to, there should be retold the stories they generated along the different period of times, be proposed some highlighting measures by our students who would become familiar with their community cultural heritage, contributing to issues solving through entrepreneurial actions, highlighting the image of their cities so that they should be proud of them. We’ve established together with our partners that our theme for the project it was new for all of us, thus bringing a benefit for all participants. What our project brought us is the fact that, added to the idea of analyzing representative monument buildings the analysis has crossed the axis of time heading towards the future , they had to describe the students’ imagination - carrying out the project’s outcomes. As for the past, our students had to describe the life, traditions and legends of the families that have lived in those buildings, the historical events they attended and witnessed, the cultural movements in their respective period of time. Therefore, we kept the memorable moments in each country’s history alive.On the other hand, our students asked about these buildings immediate history,were involved in the city civic and social life, their voice was heard and they became aware of their future role in the society. Our partnership came with new modalities to introduce them to the public: performing in a living library, a living exhibition with characters of different periods of time telling the stories of the areas/buildings we we focused on, graphic design of urban representation they createdFor all these purposes, we designed this project that fits both academic and vocational aspects to accomplish the above items through: -Innovative practices to make aware all students of the involved institutions of the richness of their city history;- Media courses for teachers and students;- Artistic creations: one logo, plays written on the building history, living exhibitions, living libraries, films, exhibitions of photos, art objects created by students on the theme, theatre contest festival;- Project meetings of sharing experience to broaden the participants' view and to make them willing to be active parts in the city life;- Communication with partners, city inhabitants and senior citizens to gather stories on the areas;- Participation in an workshop that will deal with research, urban myths and attractive interactive activities not only for the teachers and students involved in the project, but also for students and teachers from other schools of the region; a workshop for students about arts and traditions; - Creation of an (e)Brochure comprising the activities developed along the project & the methodological planning sheets with the strategies approached - for teachers of other schools to use.These activities and others mentioned in the above sections had the following objectives:>to raise awareness of the students' own metropolis and share this internationally with the partners to turn educational commitment into EU value through media and artistic interpreting;>to design and experiment an innovative methodology in order to strengthen our students' IT skills, to increase their English language competences and to get acquainted to the languages of our partners;>to promote our students' employability through empowering their skills and work attitude by stimulating their interest in their community culture;>to revive the urban stories about buildings whose history was forgotten;>to give our students the possibility to know their own community features, to share them with their partners, to facilitate their communicative skills in foreign languages, to acquire new IT media skills;>to preserve the collective wisdom, to make it known by the youth.>to give an incentive to the participant teachers to be part of the city life working together with their students in non formal activities that define the theme and revive their schools fame in the community.We relied on the interest of our students for the topic and for each partner school to organize, plan in advance and carry out activities so that they had the impact we hoped for.
