INTER-COOL-TURE LLP EUROPEAN MULTILATERAL PARTNERSHIP

RULES FOR A GOOD PARTNERSHIP:

to establish common rules about the partnership communication:
vehicular language (English), type of communication (by e-mail and/or by telephone, by fax, by letter), frequency of communication (weekly or more intense according to our needs), quality of communication (each message sent to every partner to ensure each one’s full involvement in every project decision);

to share the most suitable itineraries for the topic of each year;

to exchange products, results, data…

to decide together the criteria for the project evaluation.

FOR THE VISIBILITY OF THE PROJECT:

to insert it in each institute activity plan, integrating it with the main values and aims on which the culture of democracy is based (European citizenship, inter-culturality, respect for the children’s rights).Moreover the project will have a cross-curricular aspect and will be integrated in the regular didactic activities

to plan school meetings to illustrate the project activities and/or show some of the products, to parents and to all the teachers of each partner school.

Each partner school will have to establish a “cultural exchanges commission”, share responsibilities, distribute tasks and plan recurrent meetings useful to evaluate the activities.
FOR THE DIFFUSION OF THE EXPERIENCE :

to create “project corners” inside the schools showing most of the materials produced and exchanged between the partners;

to plan a didactic exhibition with all the products obtained;

to produce: cd-rom, audio and videotapes, photos, books, questionnaires, web pages on the schools’ websites.

to publish articles on local and national newspapers about the main events of the project (project meetings…).

FOR THE IMPACT ON THE WIDER COMMUNITY :

to organise a “project day”(at the end of the school year) involving all the children and teachers of each school, during which they will share their experiences working together; it will represent the conclusion of the activities for the first year. At the end of the Day we’ll give the children a certificate of participation in the Project.

TO MONITOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN’S APPROVAL about the whole project development:

at the end of the school year we should propose them a final evaluation questionnaire, whose results let us know their level of satisfaction about the activities of the project.
(The project meeting in Poland will represent the chance to decide together the criteria and the means for the project evaluation.)

TO IMPROVE THE CHILDREN AND TEACHER’S KNOWLEDGE OF THE ICT, through the direct usage of:

PC to communicate with partners and to document works ( writing texts and inserting images, using software such as Power Point, creating hypertexts looking for information in Internet...);
