As part of the GOAL Erasmus + project, students and teachers from our project countries visited Bari, Italy between 21-28 September 2019.

We had the opportunity to see I.I.S.S. Marco Polo and learn many interesting things about the system education in this country. The hosts welcomed us very warmly. We had a competition for a film promoting the GOAL Erasmus + project. You can see the winners in the photos!!!

This project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union

An amazing human experience

This week in Slovakia was an enriching experience on several points and more particularly on the sociological and linguistic points:

It has allowed us to open up to cultures different from our own and to improve our linguistic performances in English. But also to learn some daily words in Slovak thanks to our host families and friends.  We managed to understand each other without any problem.

It was a memorable moment; a magnificent memory that will remain engraved in our heads & hearts.

We will remember Monday as our first day in our intercultural GOAL group. 

This day marked us by the lively & friendly welcome we received but also by the sympathy of our Slovak comrades towards us.

We would like to thank all the people at the head of this project who have given us this opportunity that many would like to live ;)

We were the lucky ones!!

The project is directed to approx. 300 students 15-20 years old and 60 secondary school teachers.

During the project mobilities, project participants will be introduced to a number of Google tools to learn how to:

- store and share teaching and learning materials using Google Drive,

- collaborate simultaneously on documents using Google Drive,

- build websites using Google sites,

- develop a questionnaire with Google Form,

- communicate and do assignments with Google Classroom,

- create blogs with Google Blogger,

- upload videos on YouTube,

- prepare for partner visits with Google map and calendar,

- practise Google Arts and Culture, Expeditions and Cardboard applications.

We will use the following methods for the project implementation: workshops during mobilities, webinars between mobilities, surveys to measure participants' satisfaction and knowledge gained, group work, discussions on forums and blogs, in personal contacts.

Teachers will elaborate on completely innovative lesson plans which will be introduced to their

teaching practice. Students will be motivated and eager to learn. They will develop blogs and movies from project activities. They will learn to build websites.

They will gain new experiences through the participation in international lessons, in webinars, trips to the companies which use Google apps. Project activities will also involve the local community, authorities, cooperating schools and students' parents.

We will create a school of tomorrow through the approach to teaching and learning via digital tools. We will also help young people break barriers by engaging them in international cooperation and foster success in learning English language.
