Summary of the project
The aim of this project is to build solutions
for the integration of adult citizens of the EU in 21st century. Euroscepticism
, European citizenship, using digital tools, identity, cultural diversity,
integration, economy, history, multicultural, plural, open-minded are the key
concepts that will be addressed during the three years.
To achieve this aim we will work through
cooperation and partnership among countries using digital tools.
We will design and develop an online course called
“Getting Ready for European Citizenship on-line” (GRECOL) which is inspired by
a previous Grundtvig partnership project called “Digital Classroom”. During the
project we observed, in adult learners across
this Grundtvig partnership a notable lack of European identity and a
lack of awareness of the wide range of European resources available to
facilitate their mobility and develop their sense of shared citizenship.
Once this new partnership was created with the
participation of 7 adult organizations from ES, GE, LV, IT, TR, UK, DK
countries with diverse backgrounds but with common motivations for changing
adult education in EU, we started to develop the project.
European citizenship implies a closer, more
emotional relationship that is rooted in shared values, the celebration of
diversity, and respect of different identities and the protection of national
heritages.
The proposed new course, comprised of 5 modules
detailed below, may be offered in online and blended-learning formats. In
addition, the 5 modules may be independently utilized as stand-alone materials
or integrated into other courses according to the individual needs of each
educational context.
The structure of the subject “Getting Ready for
European citizenship” (GRECOL) will be:
1. M1.Developing a European identity
2. M2. European institutions and their
functions
3. M3.European mobility
4. M4. Dealing with cultural diversity
5. M5. Final Project
The methodology of the course is based on a
model that develops its activities through the web and on the web. The students
become the center of the model and the process of learning. The model is aware
of the nature of the potential students. The general features of e-activities
are diversity, openness and flexibility and they contain discussions, tasks,
quizzes, surveys, and a final project using a varied range of digital tools.
The final product will be an OER material ready
for be using for any adult institution around Europe. During the third year of
the project impact and dissemination will be the main goal by sharing GRECOL as
much as possible al local, national and international level in platforms,
congress, papers. And of course, using
GRECOL as a course, curricula, module or workshop in each one of the
partnership' organizations during the following years.
At the end of the project we hope to offer some
solutions for the integration of adult citizens in Europe to become e-citizens.
Getting involved in joint projects as well as increased mobility helps to
develop this feeling of belonging. (For and active European citizenship,
White Paper 2011).
