What is the desired impact of the project at the local, regional, national, European and/or international levels?
How will you measure the previously mentioned impacts?
Nadia needs some help. Can you present your suggested impacts?
A project concerning ENTREPRENEURSHIP will bring new value
into school curriculum. Although some aspects of small business are included in
our curriculum, pupils have not had an opportunity to implement their ideas into
a real life company, particularly on the international level. Most of them are
expected to cross the barrier between the
virtual world where they are accustomed to spending most their free time and the real
world where knowledge, experience and skills are indispensible to achieve the
level of life they look forward to.
We expect a deeper involvement of parents and local stockholders and business people to support
our activities. Thus they should realize that the school prepares pupils not
only theoretically but also in a more practical way for their future real life.
The project will have
the European /international impact on our pupils … Except Turkey, all pupils
live, in the countryside, far from big cities. They are unlikely to meet
foreigners, not to mention to collaborate with them. The project will make it
possible to work on the international level from the scratch. This will show
our pupils that they do not need to move to the big city to get a good job.
The pupils will have to become familiar with various countries,
culture, including religious aspects. They will have to learn about others and be tolerant, ???….. flexible to collaborate and make their small-firm
successful. Due to the project they will
learn to focus in the future on the competences of their co-worker, employee rather
than on their background.
We expect our
students will develop the key 21st
century skills: creativity, communication, collaboration, digital, critical
thinking, personal and social responsibility.
The project encompasses three areas:
1) entrepreneurship
2) ICT
3) foreign languages
Ad1) The success of the students international company
will the greatest achievement of the project.
The students will be able to include their participation in the project into
their curriculum vitae. Combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values
should help pupils to be much better prepared for the future professional life.
Ad2) We will use the Innovation Maturity Model
(Eduvista) which is a self-review tool that enables schools to assess their
current level of maturity in how they use ICT. It also provides a model for
exploring what “innovation” means in terms of learning and teaching. If we use
this tool at the beginning and at the end of our project we will be able to
measure the progress our schools made during the project lifespan. The project will engage teachers
of various school subjects. Thus they will also improve their ICT skills to
supervise pupils’ progress and to assist them during the project lifespan .
Ad3) Having create a mini-company
in their school exclusively, students
would be limited in using their second language. Only a company working on the
international level will give them opportunity to use English as a common
language. Contrary to perfect English known from lessons, they will become
familiar with various national accents. Teachers will organize the common test
at the beginning and at the end of the project to estimate the progress of our
students. To document the level …we will use Europass.
