Erasmus + project plan

The world is round 

The symbol of the circle in our life

When you look up to the sky in the morning and see the rising sun there is an ancient symbol just in front of your eyes. The CIRCLE; that symbolizes the endless, the eternal revival, the circulation, the completeness, the original perfection and harmony. According to the ancient interpretation the circle symbolized the disk of the life-giving sun and the existence of people depended on the light of the sun, therefore they looked at it as God. For this reason the circle became the symbol of the absolute, endless unit and perfection. If we open our eyes; we can find it everywhere around us, in the cup holding our tea in the morning, in the flowers decorating our windows, in our children’s circle games, and nearly everywhere.

We are inviting you for an interesting discovery and adventure. Let’s examine our world from the point of view of this ancient symbol. Let’s look for the common points in our environments and cultures, let’s work together in a common school project!

The aims of the project are:

·         to discover our surrounding world through the symbol of the circle (our bigger and smaller natural and built environment and our cultural values)

·         to develop students’ key competencies through the project work (communicating in our mother tongue, communicating in foreign languages, maths competencies and the basic competencies in the field of nature and technical science, digital competencies, the acquisition of study skills, social and citizen competencies, cultural consciousness and expressive skills, the environmental and lifestyle choices competencies)

·         to allow our students to develop connections with the students of our partner schools. They will get to know each other, the results of the completed work, the countries and cultural values of the partners.

·         to share and recognize the applied pedagogical methods with each other

·         to try out each other’s good practices and if it is possible, insert them in our school program.
