AIM AND OBJECTIVES
THE AIM OF THE PROJECT:
- The aim of the project is to create opportunities for the social
interaction of youth by fostering intercultural dialogues among young
people from different countries and helping them to develop a mutual
understanding.
What’s more, the project will focus on the fundamental
role in human history that folklore has since it reflects cultural and
social identity. Sayings, recipes, songs, folk dances, riddles,
handicrafts and customs are all different expressions of folklore.
Moreover, students will be engaged in searching for and collecting
material to be exchanged and analyzed. The consciousness of our own
cultural identity is extremely important especially in era where the
phenomenon of globalization is leading younger generations almost to
forget about their origins and cultures.
Activities will be also being
aimed at promoting and enhancing positive behaviours while preventing
the negative ones. Nowadays, violence is becoming an increasingly urgent
problem to be solved both at school and outside it. That is why, the
main goal will be the following fundamental points:
- the continuous
evaluation of both the recovery of the cultural characteristics of
participants through its folklore and the interference due to
globalization;
- the promotion of foreign language skills;
- the idea of the
school as a place of excellence in constructively learning and
participating in civic life and;
- finally the desire to collaborate with
local and regional institutions;
There will be different sub topics in
each partner country like:
a theatre play in DE; sport activities and
short movies in PL-BG; a choir, traditional games and costumes in GR-CY;
