I CAN, YOU CAN.
Our project focuses on a cultural "learning journey" giving all participants the opportunity to explore, learn and share aspects of the culture, sport and food of each others regions and countries in Europe. Students and teachers teach students and teachers during our "learning journey". It's about sharing and learning.
We will focus on sharing, experiencing and learning some of the best skills, activities and cultures of each of our European partners' regions, schools and countries. These skills and experiences will be passed on during the life of our project. Almost all of our special needs students learn in an age old but very effective way," look, copy, practice and learn". Students in our partnership have a wide range of special needs and learning difficulties as well as a wide variation in age, but we wish to follow the words of the Italian renaissance artist Michelangelo who, at the age of 87 said, "Ancora Imparo", "I am still learning". We learn from each other from early childhood right through to adulthood.
We (institutions in UK, Poland, Finland, and Belgium) wish to create close links with our European partners through our learners, staff and parents' gaining knowledge and understanding of some of the culture, crafts, food, music and dance, therapies and sport of each others cou
ntries. We wish to further develop and raise our understanding of European citizenship.
Through our activities, we wish jointly wish to increase the self esteem of students, help them to develop acceptance, understanding, knowledge of other cultures and to provide equal opportunities for students with learning difficulties and disabilities to learn about and interact with partners in other participating European schools.
