TITLE: Improving Early Childhood Education's Quality: well-being and Involvement as

Keys
DESCRIPTION: This project focuses on the improvement of the quality of early childhood education in
general and on the education for children with special developmental needs or socio-
emotional problems in particular. The general aim of this project is to share the
expertise which the coordinating institution has in this field with other European
partners. Together they will develop teaching modules adapted to the specific
educational environments of the participating countries and set up a dissemination
strategy to transfer this expertise to other institutions which are interested in the field of
early childhood care. The original materials developed by the coordinating institution
will be enriched by the cultural differeces among the partners in their perception and
approach to quality in early childhood education. They will organise six training
modules focusing on the improvement of early childhood education.

TITLE: CLB : Consultatieve Leerling Begeleiding
DESCRIPTION: This project intends to focus on in-service training for teachers as counsellors to pupils
who have socio-emotional problems. It pays particular attention to the multiplier effect
of the project as all teachers who will be trained will have to act as multipliers towards
other colleagues in the schools concerned. The project, therefore, also focuses in an
important way on team-building. The project partner wants to develop a training
resource module on these topics and to make sure that they will be able to disseminate
this module to all interested throughout the EU. As three of the partners have already
met in a Helios II programme and they have shared experience about the subject,
teacher training, consultancy work and behaviour problems, they hope that it will be
easier for them to arrange conatct seminars and produce the intended outcomes. The
use of modern technology relevant to the open and distant learning is also anticipated.

TITLE: Apprendre pour Comprendre l'Europe, et se Comprendre en Europe
DESCRIPTION: La dimension européenne n'étant pas objet de connaissance, l'éducation à la dimension

européenne doit donc développer des attitudes d'ouverture, de compréhension, de
relativisation et doit sensibiliser aux valeurs défendues par la démocratie.
Ce projet qui se répartira sur 3 ans vise à donner aux enseignants de l'école
élémentaire et de l'enseignement secondaire inférieur (ES, IT, PT, BE au départ) les
connaissances et les compétences suffisantes pour comprendre le rôle de l'Europe au
XXème siècle et pour vivre en Europe comme citoyen européen responsable.
Le but est d'actualiser la formation des enseignants à travers les différents niveaux de
son travail : affiner l'image mentale que chacun a de l'Europe, actualiser les contenus
et méthodes (stratégies d'apprentissage, travail en interdisciplinarité), réfléchir sur la
fonction sociale de la discipline et son rôle dans l'éducation à la citoyenneté
européenne, acquérir des attitudes nouvelles (collaboration, partenariats), développer
des compétences professionnelles, connaître d'autres systèmes éducatifs, être
confronté à d'autres cursus scolaires et produire en groupe multinational.
Le thème commun est l'étude des région(s) et paysage(s) comme expression de la
dimension européenne.
Plusieurs sessions de formation seront organisées durant les 3 années du projet; les
relations établies en cours de formation s'intensifieront et déboucheront sur la
construction de partenariats scolaires ou autres formes de coopération.

TITLE: E.B. Europese Beeldcultuur : Nieuwe mediamethodiek en Audio-Visuele middelen

in de klas
DESCRIPTION: The objective of the ''EB Europese beeld cultuur'' (E.B. European image-culture)
intends to prepare an in-service training course enabling teachers of upper secondary
education to use in an interactive way audio-visual means and new information
technologies in the classroom. Particular attention will be given to the interdsciplinary
approach in relation to this. The in-service training course will focus on concrete sub-
elements which are related to the topic concerned such as how to develop a synopsis
and a scenario for a video, how to direct the making of a video etc. The project will
result in several products: a) the production of a handbook on audio-visual methods and
methodologies for teachers, b) working tools in this field to be used by pupils and c) a
support video which can be used in teacher education.
The in-service education sessions will be on the one hand on-site for 5 days but on the
other hand teachers involved will be able to communicate through the sandwich model;
the teachers thus get a certain number of assignements which they carry out in their
respective countries; the necessary fee-back is given by the tutors through the PC
Network.Teachers will also be invited to draft synopsis for films or videos, send them
via internet to the central training centre where they will be assessed; advice and
suggestions will be given to teachers through internet.
Thus the project focuses on the use of new audio-visual means such as video and
simultaneously links it to the new information technologies such as internet.

TITLE: EVINEST - Evaluation of effectiveness in European staff development and in-

service training programmes
DESCRIPTION: The overall general objectives of the present project is to enhance the impact of in-
service education activities have on educational practice by focusing on the evaluation
of such in-set activities; a particular emphasis will be given to lifelong learning for
teachers. The specific objectives of the project hence are the following: a) to make all
the agents involved in in-set (providers, advisers, head teachers, teaching staff...)
aware of what constitutes qualitative staff development and in-set programmes, b) to
provide a coherent framework and easily manageable instruments for the internal and
external evaluation of staff development and in-set programme, c) to provide guidance
and practice in the operationalisation of effectiveness criteria, d) to teach providers how
they can analyse their own practice, e) to teach users how to distinguish between quality
in in-set programmes and excellence in provider institutions and f) to teach users and
particularly school heads how they need to contribute to the successful implementation
of in-set programmes in their schools. The targer groups thus are in-set providers and
in-set users.
The project will result in a number of publications including : 1) a survey of
effectiveness criteria, 2) an instrument for internal evaluation of in-set 3) two
instruments for external evaluation - one for the use of national authorities, and one for
the use of the users of in-set and 4) a brochure for schoolleaders with strategies and
models for setting-up school-based in-set.
The action 3.1. project is also to result in six Comenius action 3.2. courses.

TITLE: BISEL - De biotische index in het secundair onderwijs
DESCRIPTION: The project entitled ' The Biotic Index at Secondary Education level' or BISEL main
objectives are: a) to make the teaching of biology more attractive and more practically
oriented, b) to promote the integration of the chapters of the biology curriculum which
focus on 'classification' and 'ecology', c) to demonstrate the European dimension of
environmental problems as biological water quality assessments by using the biotic
index are internationally comparable, d) to develop educational tools to help secondary
school pupils to determine the biotic index and e) to promote internationally comparable
scientific research into water quality. Thus the projects hopes to internationalise at the
level of the secondary school, the biotic index, a biological water quality assessment
method for rivers. The target group of the project are thus both t0eachers of biology and
pupils; it is also hoped that the project will contribute to enhance the interest of girls for
sciences. Initial teacher education institutions and eco-centers will also be involved in
the project.
The project will result in the organisation of in-service training courses for teachers of
bilogy focusing on the biotic index stressing the use of fieldwork as an innovative
teaching and learning method; teachers who have been involved in the in-set courses
will have to keep in touch through INTERNET afterwards. Next to the in-set an eco-
manual will be developed for secondary schools. Finally it is the explicit objective to see
to it that the action 3 projects leads to the creation and the implementation of action 1
projects, European Educational projects of Comenius.

TITLE: In-service training programmes European Children's literature on war and peace
DESCRIPTION: The project intends to develop an in-service training course focusing on European
children's literature through the theme of 'War and Peace' both for primary and
secondary school. The project will mainly focus on the development of an in-service
training course and on the development of reading lists and teaching packages in
relation with 'war and peace'. The project will also do research on reading habits and
reading materials in primary and secondary schools. Innovative methodology in the
field of reading content-based language teaching and classroom research will be
implemented in the materials and will provide teachers with new didactic approaches to
their teaching practice. The projects thus wants to enhance reading and to create a
richer reading and learning environment.
The projects hopes to enhance the European dimension by multiplying and by
exchanging the lists and teaching packages; concretely speaking the project will aim at
providing to teachers the possibility to include a European dimension in their language
and literature teaching. The multilingual and multi-cultural aspects of the project will
increase European, multicultural, intercultural and global awareness. The project also
hopes to raise school achievement by implementing innovative methodological and
didactical ideas. Finally the projects hoped to help children who have reading problems;
reading materials on minority groups should stimulate children belonging to such groups
in their reading habits and improve their reading skills.
The beneficiairies will be primary school teachers, secondary teachers, students in
initial and in-set, pupils, students, librarians, publishers and reading societies.

TITLE: MICTEP. Methodology to use ICT and multimedia in multidisciplinary-projectwork
DESCRIPTION: The aim of the project called MICTEP or Methodology to use ICT and multimedia in
multidisciplinary-project work, is to implement the European dimension in school
education by using ICT and multimedia in international and European project work.
The purpose is to develop an innovative project-based ICT training that enables
teachers and students in secondary schools to use ICT in international or European
multi-disciplinary project work.
The aim hence is to investigate how innovative learning strategies for that are more
efficient for both students and teachers and can be introduced by using ICT. The project
wants to provide methodological assistance to teachers in developing cross-curricular
unit linked to national curricula. The project aims to achieve these goals through
intensive collaboration between the four Comenius 3.1 partners and the 8 pilot schools
belonging to a Comenius network, focusing on the multi-disciplinary theme of ''Building
and Living''. The training courses and the materials will be prepared by the four partners
in close co-operation with the teachers of the secondary schools. Target groups are
headteachers, secondary school teachers and students aged 14 - 18 years of age.
Parents of the students will be invited to participate in the ICT training as well. The
expected outcomes and products will be the result of the close collaboration between
the four partners and the pilot-schools; A set of guidelines for a project-based ICT
training in secondary schools and for a methodology to support schools to implement
ICT in international project-work will be developed during the first and second year and
completed in the third year. A multi-media oriented cross-curricular unit ''Building and
living'' and a CD-ROM with interactive materials containing the result of project-work of
students will be created. A transnational virtual forum will be extended gradually for
students and teachers from other schools.

TITLE: Eine Schule für Jungen und Mädchen
DESCRIPTION: Ziel des Projekts ''Eine Schule für Jungen und Mädchen'' ist es, zur Förderung der
Chancengleichheit von Jungen und Mädchen beizutragen Europaweit liegen viele
Forschungsergebnisse, Zielbeschreibungen und methodische Anregungen für eine
geschlechtsspezifische Arbeit mit Mädchen vor. Zunehmend wird aber deutlich,
daß´auch Jungen in der Schule einer adäquaten, geschlechtsspezifischen
Unterstützung bedürfen, wenn eine Veränderung ihres Rollenverständnisses erreicht
werden soll. Die Konzeption einer mädchengerechten Schule erfordert als Ergänzung
auch Überlegungen und Konzeptionen einer adäquaten Arbeit mit Jungen. Zielgruppen
sind zunächst ausgewählte Multiplikatoren, später Schulteams. Fortbildungsmaterialien
sollen fächerübergreifend entwickelt werden, zudem sind Fortbildungsveranstaltungen
geplant. Die Zusammenarbeit mit Projekten der Aktion 1 von Comenius
(Schulpartnerschaften) und mit der deutschen Initiative ''Schulen ans Netz'' ist
angestrebt.

TITLE: Autonomere Schulen - Förderung von Eigeninitiative und Selbstmanagement
DESCRIPTION: Ziel des Projekts ''Autonomere Schulen - Förderung von Eigeninitiative und Selbst-
management'' ist es, Lehrkräften Handlungskompetenz für zunehmend autonomere
Schulen zu vermitteln. Denn in Schulen, die sich im Sinne eines modernen
Qualitätsmanagements organisieren, werden Entscheidungen vielfältiger Art auf der
Hierarchiestufe getroffen, auf der sie sachlich erforderlich sind, nämlich häufig auf
Ebene der Lehrkraft. Deren Problemlösungspotential kann aber nur effektiv genutzt
werden, wenn sie sich diese Aufgaben zu eigen macht und wenn sie über Methoden
verfügt, diese in eigener Verantwortung und in Kooperation mit Kollegen
wahrzunehmen. Zielgruppe des Projekts sind Lehreraus und -fortbilder, Lehrer mit dem
Schwerpunkt im berufsbildenden Bereich, mittelbar auch alle anderen an öffentlichen
Schulen beteiligten wie Schülerinnen und Schüler, Eltern, Schulträger sowie Mitarbeiter
im Schulmanagement. Das Projekt ist zunächst auf zwei Jahre angelegt. Im ersten Jahr
werden Arbeitskonzepte für die Lehreraus- und fortbildung erstellt. Dabei sollen unter
anderem Strukturelemente entwickelt und zwischen den Projektkursen bereits in den
beteiligten Institutionen praktisch erprobt werden. Im zweiten Jahr wird die Arbeit des
ersten Jahrs fortgeführt, vertieft und einer möglichst breiten Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt.
Die abschließende Formulierung eines Aus- und Fortbildungskonzepts zielt u.a. auch
auf Lehrerfortbildungen im Rahmen der Aktion 3.2 von Comenius.

TITLE: Euromobil (Europäische Mobile Lernwerkstatt) European Reform Pedagogics in

Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION: EUROMOBIL - European Reform Pedagogics in Teaching and Learning

The aim of this project is to develop an in-service training course focusing on reform
pedagogical models in theory and in practice. These models are: Montessori education,
Freinet education, Jena-Plan education and Dalton-Plan education; all examples of
Reform pedagogics which enhance active work of pupils and clearly focus on the varied
abilities of the children. The project aims to provide European teachers and teacher
educators with an easier approach to these pedagogical models. The proposal
describes in some detail the various models of teaching and learning that it wishes to
promote: the emphasis is on autonomous learning for the pupils involved. In order that
schools may use such models efficiently, the project also aims to disseminate models
of school organisation. The project emphasises the need for 'mobility', both within
individual schools and also within the broader systems of which these schools are a
part. The project is to last three years and several concrete products are to result: two
teacher training modules and two training models, to be published in book form and on
CD ROM.

TITLE: Verwirklichung der europäischen dimension in schulen anhand der durchführung

europäischer bildungsprojekte.
DESCRIPTION: The project 'Verwirklichung der europäischen Dimension in Schulen anhand der
Durchführung europäischer Bildungsprojekte' in EN 'Realisation of the European
Dimension in schools through European Learning Projects' builds on cooperation
between experts from teacher training institutes in DE, NL and DK. Each institution has
at least two 'contact schools' most of them already involved in transnational work or
projects. The experts will support the international initiatives of the teachers and exploit
and report their experiences. The partners will also describe the process of
management of European learning projects (ELP) and the methodology and didactics
that must be implemented to realise them. In addition they want to develop evaluation
methods for the assessment of the impact of ELP's on the quality of the teaching and
on the image creation of the individual school.
The project has a planned duration of 3 years and will result in 3 Action 3.2 courses,
one in each country.
The project is focusing on the need for more precise and concrete suggestions for the
implementation of the European dimension in different subjects as well as in
interdisciplinary projects, on cooperative learning and on the use of new media for
communication.
Target group of the project are teachers in lower secondary, who have an interest in an
ELP.

TITLE: EBP Europäisches Betriebspraktikum.
DESCRIPTION: The ultimate objective of this project is for pupils to become familiar with the structures
of labour markets in different European countries by undertaking periods of practical
training abroad. The organisers see this as important in the light of the
internationalisation and globalisation of the labour market.
As pupils are to be accompanied on such visits by their teachers, the project also aims
to provide a thorough training programme to qualify the staff. The aim of the training
programme will be to develop teachers' specialist knowledge of Arbeitslehreunterricht
(teaching of the world of work), focusing on the European dimension of this field. To
this end, it aims to run training sessions and to build up an information and data network
between participating institutions.
The first year is to be a planning and preparation phase by the teacher trainers in the
respective countries. This phase will include practical planning and also lectures from
experts, as well as courses in Denmark and the Netherlands. The second year will
consist of training courses, the third year will see the implementation of the practical
training programme for pupils. The last two years will apply for funding under Action 2.

DESCRIPTION: The project 'HOBE - Erkennung und Förderung hochbegabter Kinder in

allgemeinbildenden Schulen' in EN 'Recognition and Support of Gifted Pupils in Public
Schools' wants to focus on gifted children and their specific needs for support. The
project group includes experts from universities in DE, NL, GB and HU having many
years of practical and scientific experience. Research estimates that about 50% of the
gifted children do not get the support they need, which often causes school failure for
these children. The partners will first of all make a review of the present stock of
European knowledge concerning gifted children. The review shall be used as basis for
developing the contents of the Action 3.2 in-service training course, that is planned for
the second year of the project. The project group states that the most common reason
for under-achieving by gifted children is the lack of knowledge of the teachers. The
project deals with three key areas in the work with gifted pupils: Knowledge of theories
and recent theoretical development, knowledge of the characteristics of gifted children
and knowledge of the strategies that can be used in order to meet the educational
needs of the these pupils.
The outcomes of the project will be an analysis of the present situation in the subject
area, strategies and teaching materials for support of gifted children, a European
framework for in-service training, a 3.2 course and a CD-rom and a homepage with
open pages.
The main target group is teachers, but the results of the project will be of strong interest
for teacher trainers, heads and parents of gifted children. The planned duration of the
project is 3years.

The aim of this project is to focus on the teaching of writing in the language of
instruction to multi-lingual and multi-cultural groups of young children. The project
aims to refine and share ideas as to how to arouse the interest of these children in
writing. This can be achieved both by content and by method: using material relevant to
the children's lives, working in groups or towards particular occasions, using print and
IT, by focusing on the social aspects of reading and writing. Discussing and presenting
procedure for the organisation of active learning methods, and therefore raising the
school achievement of these children, will be the primary focus. To this end, there will
be two training sessions at which the partner schools will present their materials. The
teacher training institutions present will make oral and written comments to refine
further these ideas for future European training sessions.

TITLE: Neue Armut im Kontext eines europäischen Christentums.
DESCRIPTION: The project 'Neue Armut im Kontext eines europäischen Christentums' in EN 'New
Poverty in the Context of European Christianity' has the aim to provide primary and
secondary teachers with information, tools for teaching and methods of autonomous
learning by means of which they can deal with the problems of 'New Poverty' in
teaching of different subjects as well as in interdisciplinary projects. The context and
surroundings of the school should be investigated too. The methodology is linked with
the European dimension and motivated through Christian Ethic. Autonomous learning,
lifelong learning, a multiperspective approach to 'New Poverty' and interdisciplinary
learning are the main focuses of the project. Intercultural education is another aspect of
the issue.
The project is coordinated by an in-service training institute in Mainz, DE and has
partners in Hessen, DE, BE, NL and IE.
The idea of the 'New Poverty' is that changes in the European societies have caused
increased risks for certain groups, for example the risk of unemployment. The project
intends to find ways in which the teachers can enable the pupils to cope with new
situations and to improve their possibilities for a good life by being active themselves.
The project has a planned duration of 2 years.
The outcomes of the project are teaching/learning materials and models for project
work, which will be available in German, Dutch, French, English and Gaelic in print
through the partner institutions and on internet.
During the second year the project group will develop and hold in-sevice seminars to
introduce the principles of working with 'New Poverty' and to present the results from
the project.

published in Greek, English and Italian. The material will include:a) information on the
areas in focus (history, people, culture, eco-systems, heritage,etc.); b) presentation of
the necessary pre-conditions for the development of eco-tourism;c) a theoretical
component with scientific knowledge;d) proposals for the design of environmental
education programmes (appropriate for primary, secondary and higher education);e)
selection of relevant case-studies and experiments and f) a dictionary of eco-
terminology.
It is expected that the material to be produced will make a contribution to the quality of
the services provided by the environmental education and documentation centres and
that it will be a useful resource available to visitors which are in many cases teachers,
pupils and students; these will be able to use these materials when they visit with pupils
these tourist areas.

TITLE: Pistas para Mejorar los Actuales Sistemas de Orientación en Europa
DESCRIPTION: Le projet 'Pistes pour améliorer les systèmes actuels de l'orientation profesionnelle en
europe' vise à développer une formation destinée aux enseignants d'Espagne, de
Grèce, du Danemark afin promouvoir, d'améliorer et d'optimaliser l'orientation des
élèves avant leur insertion dans le monde du travail. L'objectif étant de donner aux
élèves les compétences qui leur permettront d'une part d'obtenir une travail ou d'autre
part de changer de travail facilement si le besoin se présente.
L'objectif principal du projet européen est de donner une formation pédagogique qui
sera considérée par les enseignants comme une aide et un soutien qu'ils pourront eux-
mêmes apporter à leurs élèves. Cette formation prétend accentuer la formation dans
sa totalité; elle ne veut pas uniquement insister sur sur les éléments intellectuels qui
faciliteront la recherche d'un emploi mais elle veut aussi tenir compte des aspects
sociaux, culturels, physiques et pedagogiques qui peuvent avoir une influence sur la
recehrche d'un emploi et sur lesquels il faut travailler pour améliorer cles chances des
jeunes sur le marché du travail.
Les institutions développeront conjointement la formation continue à partir de leurs
expériences individuelles personnelles et curriculaires; il développeront conjointement à
partir de celles-ci de nouvelles perspectives et approches pédagogiques innovantes qui
formeront la base de la formation continue.
Les pays partenaires recevront, successivement au cours des trois années, 25
enseignants européens afin de leur procurer cette formation au sein de l'action 3.2. de
Comenius.Une évaluation annuelle fait partie intégrante du projet.

TITLE: La Escuela Ecológica Europea : propuestas educativas para su mejora ambiental
DESCRIPTION: Le projet, étalé sur trois années, vise la mise sur pied d'une formation continue dans le
domaine de l'environnement et ceci avec une dimension européenne très claire. Le
projet est transnational comme il rassemble plusieurs pays: l'Espagne, l'Italie et le
Portugal.
Les objectifs du projet sont les suivants: a) échanges des expériences dans le domaine
de la formation continue en ce qui concerne l'éducation à l'environnement; cet échange
comparatif, qui sera reflété dans une description comparative des approches, sera la
base des autres activités du partenariat, b) conjointement les partenaires on l'intention
d'inventiariser le matériel didactique existant dans les différents pays et de lé décrire
et/ou de développer et de réaliser du nouveau matériel didactique et pédagogique qui
sera intégré dans la formation continue à mettre en oeuvre, c) le projet organisera des
journées informatives pour des enseignants intéressés dans les pays partenaires et d)
un programme de diffusion des acquis sera mis en oeuvre.
Ces objectifs sont clairement reflétés dans le plan de travail de la première année.
La mise en oeuvre de la formation du professorat à dimension européenne dans le
domaine de l'environnement est envisagée pendant l'année 2; pedant cette deuxième
année de travail le projet utilisera toutes informations recueillies la première année pour
construire son cours de formation continue 'européen'. La dernière année est destinée à
l'expérimentation du cours de formation continue, du matériel didactique élaboré et des
stratégies de mise en oeuvre développées précédemment. La 3ème année donnera
aussi une attention toute particulière à l'évaluation à tous les niveaux et tous les acteurs
concernés. Le projet focalisera dans son approche pédagogique surtout sur des
méthodes actives pour apprendre à apprendre et sur l'interdisciplinarité et le travail en
équipe au niveau aussi bien des enseignants que les élèves.

TITLE: ELLE - Escribir un libro en la escuela
DESCRIPTION: Le projet ELLE - Ecrire un Livre à L'Ecole'' (Escribir un Libro en La Escuela) a pour
objectif de promouvoir un formation continue par internet et courrier électronique pour
des enseignants leur permettant d'acquérir une méthode d'apprentissage de la lecture
et de l'écriture créative et innovante qui passe par l'écriture d'un livre par les élèves.
A cet effet un réseau de 10 instituitons a été créé dont les établissements de formation
initiale ou continue seront reliés à des écoles qui avec l'aide de ces institutions de
formations vont mettre en oeuvre ces méthodes et créeront entre elles des liens qui
aboutiront à la création de PEE de l'action 1 de Comenius.
Le projet se donne donc comme objectifs:
a) de développer une action prospective pour un projet pédagogique novateur de
développement de la créativité par le livre, b) la formation continue active et concrète
pour l'enseignement de l'écrit et de la lecture et les processus de création littéraire et c)
la promotion de la dimension européenne tant au niveau des participants qu'au niveau
des activités prévues du projet.
Les objectifs spécifiques sont les suivants: 1) la diffusion et l'échange d'expériences sur
cette méthode créative, 2) la publication et la diffusion des matériels pédagogiques
innovants pour la formation des professeurs et des élèves à la création littéraire tant sur
support écrit que pour une future application sur CD ROM et 3) la création d'un forum
multimédia permanent d'échanges inter-écoles sur le livre et la création littéraire en
utilisant les nouvelles technologies.
L'objectif n'est donc pas d'orgniser une formation continue européenne in situ mais
d'avoir une formation continue au sens vrai du terme, entre autres, par internet ou
courrier électronique pour lequel tourtefois un Guide de création littéraire sera
développé et traduit en français et en aglais et plus tard dans d'autres langues.

Les bénéficiaires de ce projet seront les enseignants de disciplines scientifiques et à
ceux qui désirent participer à des activités interdisciplinaires sur l’histoire de la science.
Les élèves bénéficieront également du projet, puisque l’histoire de la science révèle les
liens entre disciplines différentes, transforme leur perception des disciplines
scientifiques, augmente leur intérêt pour la science, et contribue ainsi à réduire l’échec
scolaire dans ces matières. Le projet à une durée de trois ans. Quatre activités sont
prévues pour la première année de réalisation : des réunions transnationales pour
échanger des informations, la préparation du cours de formation qui aura lieu la
deuxième année, la compilation et la publication de tous les matériels. Les résultats
prévus sont les suivants : la réalisation d’un cours sur l’enseignement de l’histoire de la
science qui offre aux enseignants européens des matériels et des stratégies
didactiques, des expériences concrètes développées en classe et une vision comparée
de différent curriculum européens.

DESCRIPTION: Le but de ce projet est d'étudier l'apprentissage des enfants handicapés au-delà des
définitions et des approches conceptuelles, des modalités de scolarisation et de
prévention ainsi que du traitement des difficultés.
A partir de l'observation des différentes pratiques et de l'analyse des cadres de
réflexion qui les déterminent, il doit être possible de mieux comprendre les similitudes
et les différences. Chacun des partenaires doit être mieux à même de puiser dans
l'expérience des autres des ressources nouvelles pour imaginer des solutions aux
problèmes sans cesse en évolution de la difficulté d'apprendre et d'approfondir, en
particulier, les types de compétences et de collaboration les plus performants face à
l'échec scolaire.
Le projet ainsi défini se propose de déboucher sur la création d'une publication à
dimension européenne, dont la vocation serait d'être un instrument rigoureux de
comparaison d'expériences et un support de formation des personnel chargés de mettre
en oeuvre les aides aux élèves en échec face à l'apprentissage scolaire.

TITLE: FOREDUTEC - Formation des Educateurs Techniques Spécialisés
DESCRIPTION: Ce projet vise à concevoir une nouvelle professionnalité du métier d'éducateur

technique spécialisé auprès de jeunes défavorisés.
Dans un premier temps, le projet portera sur une étude comparative du contenu des
programmes de formation destinés à ces personnels en ciblant certains pays de l'Union
Européenne. Dans une deuxième étape, il conviendra d'élaborer un référentiel commun
à ces figures professionnelles; une meilleure articulation entre la formation initiale et la
formation continue sera envisagée et les nouvelles formes de prise en charge des
personnes handicapées ou présentant des besoins éducatifs spécifiques seront
considérées car la diversité des modes d'intégration en milieu ordinaire de vie,
l'évolution technologique et professionnelle et ses conséquences sur les approches, et
l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies dans les domaines des apprentissages et de la
communication sont importantes.
Une attention particulière sera portée à l'élaboration de modules communs de formation
et aux pratiques innovantes développées dans certains centres de formation de pays
participants.
Des outils d'évaluation des actions entreprises et des personnels en formation seront
créés afin de valider et de donner une certification européenne permettant la mobilité
des personnels au sein de l'Union.
Le projet trouve sa finalité dans la mise en place d'un partenariat transnational entre les
organismes de formation, afin de favoriser les liens entre les actions de formation dans
le domaine de l'enseignement et de l'éducation spécialisée.

pédagogie du patrimoine au niveau européen, afin de chercher à progresser, à
harmoniser les pratiques; quand cela est souhaitable, à innover dans la manière de
regarder et de s'approprier le patrimoine, de favoriser le travail de la mémoire des lieux
d'histoire, d'évaluer le caratère commun du patrimoine européen, de confronter les
savoirs et les identités, de réfléchir sur les manières différentes, et relative à la culture
d'aborder et de penser le patrimoine, d'élaborer des outils, des matériels, de
promouvoir des publications PEE, de mettre en place des centres de patrimoine dans
les pays européens.
Le projet mettra donc en place trois modules de formation dans trois pays européens
pour donner aux enseignants une qualification plus grande dans le domaine concerné;
du matériel didactique sera conçu; la diffusion de publications existantes sera promue
entre autres par le biais d'un CD ROM; enfin de nouveaux centres du patrimoine seront
crées pour étayer la formation continue.

TITLE: Le Projet d'Etablissement : formation européenne des chefs d'établissement
DESCRIPTION: L'objectif primaire du projet est de créer conjointement entre les trois partenaires un
Guide sur le projet d'établissemnet pour des chefs d'établissements scolaires; ce quide
sera la base de formations continues futures. Le Guide consisterait en deux tômes qui
seront chacun développé sur une année.
Le Guide traîtera des éléments suivants: 1) qui est le chef d'établissement et quelle est
sa vision, comment pilote-t-il un établissement, 2) quels sont les éléments que
constituent la conduite du projet: comment diriger, persuader, contrôler, participer,
négocier, déléguer, responsabiliser?, 3) le projet et un éventuel groupe de conduite du
projet; les méthodes du groupe de travail, le suivi des actions par groupe, 4) la mise en
place de scénarios pour la mise en oeuvre du projet d'établissement; comment
résoudre les problèmes? être capable d'utiliser les moyens audio-visuels, utiliser les
moyens-audiovisuels, les média, comment pratiquer des exercices d'auto-évaluation.
Voilà donc tous les élements clé qui seront intégrés dans ce Guide du projet
d'établissement qui formera la base de formation continue pour chef d'établissements
de plusieurs pays de l'Union Européenne.

TITLE: TEATRE - Théâtre et Education A Travers des Rencontres Européennes
DESCRIPTION: L'objectif du projet TEATRE - Théâtre et Education A Travers des Rencontres

Européennes - est de monter en un an une formation continue modulaire pour former
des enseignants du secondaire à travailler avec le théâtre comme moyen d'une part
pour promouvoir la dimension européenne et d'autre part pour remédier à certaines
situations d'échec scolaire dans lesquelles certains élèves peuvent se trouver.
Les objectifs du projet sont donc: a) faciliter l'accès des enseignants et des élèves (et
ceci à terme) aux activités théâtrales dans les pays de la Union Européenne, b)
améliorer l'expérience de base des participants-stagiaires en élargissant leur horizon
par une pratique dépassant le cadre de chaque pays ou région, c) dégager les
différentes approches des pratiques d'activités théâtrales selon les pays et régions en
insistant sur les valeurs de remédiation et d'innovation de la pratique théâtrale et d)
prévoir la mise en place d'activités pratiques et s'appuyer en même temps sur des
apports d'experts et de professionnels.
La formation continue d'une semaine organisée consécutivement dans les pays
partenaires, accentuera les éléments suivants: 1) le partage d'expériences en
comparant les pratiques et les approches des activités théâtrales, 2) monter à partir de
cette réflexion commune une formation continue qui comportera 50% d'activités
pratiques et concrètes en atelier, 3) la création de PEE, des Projets Educatifs
Européens, de l'action 1 de Comenius à partir des enseignants participants.
Comme le projet essai de remédier à certaines situations d'échec scolaire le projet
accentuera certaines compéténces favorisées par le théâtre avec des élèves: les
qualités de concentration, la régularité du travail, l'amélioration de la perception de soi-
même et l'implication de tous les élèves; le savoir-être acquis ainsi par le biais du
théâtre peut par après être réinvesti dans d'autres situations éducatives et personnelles

TITLE: Apprendre de, pour, avec un correspondant sur un thème disciplinaire
DESCRIPTION: L'objectif du projet est de mettre en oeuvre une formation continue focalisant sur
l'utilisation de la 'correspondance scolaire entre élèves' (ou 'chantiers d'écriture')
comme moyen pour faire émerger une conscience européenne d'une part et pour
contribuer à l'amélioration de la réussite scolaire d'autre part. C'est principalement la
réussite scolaire qui est espérée par la confrontation des points de vue des jeunes qui
communiquent par le biais de la correspondance sur un thème choisi, celui de
l'environnement; ce thème est traîté par le biais de sous-thèmes: la protection de la
forêt, le traitement des déchêts, la pollution de l'eau, la valorisation de la nature etc.
Le point de départ de l'élaboration de la formation continue sera une recherche-action
qui fournira les élements de base pour construire la formation continue qui aura comme
thème ces chantiers d'écriture. En choisissant de travailler sur un même sujet mais
dans des lieux différents avec des démarches différentes, avec des résultats et des
présentations qui peuvent varier on mettra les élèves face à des situations-problème
sources d'apprentissage. En outre, la communication avec et pour des partenaires
amènera à produire de vrais écrits.
La formation continue proposée sera donc construite à partir de la recherche-action et
puisera dans les expriences vécues lors de cette recherche-action aussi bien au niveau
des élèves que des enseignants. La recherche-action sera la base de l'élaboration et du
développement d'une méthodologie de ces chantiers d'écriture.

DESCRIPTION: L'objectif du projet est de mettre en oeuvre à partir de la 3e année de ses activités une
formation continue pour permettre à des enseignants et d'autres acteurs éducatifs d'être
attentifs et d'intégrer mieux dans les écoles ordinaires les enfants et adolescents
atteints de maladies somatiques.
La première année du projet consistera à analyser dans les établissements des
différents pays européens, les fonctionnements usuels et les organisations mises en
place pour assurer l'accueil de ces jeunes malades. A partir de ces descriptions
générales le projet s'efforcera pendant la 2e année à dégager les facteurs favorisant la
qualité de cet accueil parmi lesquelles: les conditions matérielles, les ressources
humaines, les compétences pédagogiques et techniques requises de la part des
partenaires éducatifs, les références déontologiques partagées par les partenaires et
les contributions apportées par les familles et les associations de parents. Cette phase
résultera dans la production de documents (écrits, audio-visuels, informatiques etc.)
La 3e année foaclisera sur l'élaboiration d'un cours européen de formation en vue de
sensibiliser et de former des enseignants à l'accueil des enfants malades somatiques.

TITLE: Projet personnel de l'élève et politique éducative d'établissement
DESCRIPTION: L'objectif du projet est d'organiser une formation continue pour des membres du
personnel éducatif des établissements scolaires agricoles à partir d'un projet de
recherche action sur le projet personnel de l'élève dans les écoles agricoles et le liens
entre ce projet personnel et la politique éducative de l'établissement. Un des objectifs
généraux est de faciliter la transition des élèves vers le monde professionnel.
Le projet est centré autour d'une problématique centrale: remettre en perspective l'aide
à la maturation ou à la réalisation du projet personnel de l'élève dans sa confrontation
avec l'environnement professionnel et le projet éducatif de l'établissement.
La formation qui découlera de la recherche-action s'adresse aux publics-cibles suivants:
les chefs d'établissements, les coordinateurs d'activités pédagogiques et éducatives au
niveau d'un établissement, d'une classe, d'une filière et/ou de niveaux de formation
professionnelle.
L'action de formation est fondée sur un processus de recherche-action qui s'inspire de
la pratique réflexive et de la démarche de ''learning organisation''. Le projet résultera
premièrement dans la mise en oeuvre de la recherche-action et à partir de celle-ci dans
deux formations continues en mai 1998 et 1999. En plus les publications suivantes
seront produites: a) un rapport de recherche sur l'accompagnement du projet personnel
de l'élève par les équipes d'établissements et b) l'analyse du fonctionnement du
dispositif multilatéral de recherche-action. Il est prévu d'organiser un symposium
européen pour clôturer le projet en l'an 2000 à l'occasion des assemblées générales
des deux assscoiations européennes EUROPEA et REIFEA qui travaillent dans le
domaine de l'éducation agricole.

DESCRIPTION: l'ojectif du projet BCD+E est de promouvoir l'utilisation de la Bibliothèque Centre

Documentaire comme un moyen efficace pour promouvoir la résussite scolaire; la
généralisation des BCD comme véritable lieu de communication et d'apprentissage de
savoir faire nécessite a) de former les membres du personnel éducatif par une
formation d'animateurs et b) la réalisation d'outils didactiques, entre autres la
généralisation de fonds documentaires multilingues (parcours lecture) dans l'esprit
d'une sensibilisation dès le plus jeune âge à la culture européenne.
A partir de ces deux élements qui feront l'objet des activités de la première année, un
colloque européen sur le rôle du BCD sera organisé la 2e année et un Guide unique
transnational sera rédigé décrivant le rôle et les fonctions du BCD et des membres du
personnel y travaillant.
La formation continue qui sera mise en oeuvre focalisera sur les élements suivants: 1)
comment améliorer l'espace-lecture et acquérir un fonds d'ouvrages (dans une
démarche projet), 2) mettre la BCD en service et c) former aux perspectives
pédagogiques.
Le projet aussi d'autres retombées: a) la généralisation d'un fonds multilingue dans
plusieurs autres écoles, b) la création de coopération entre classes qui ont acquis une
culture littéraire commune, c) prétendre à l'aspect novateur et démonstratif du projet qui
pourrait déboucher sur la validation des expériences pilotes par les ministères
concernés et d) élargir et enrichir le BCD+E à d'autres pays européens.

DESCRIPTION: The project ''DBCOM'' aims to support the in-service training of personnel working with
children born deaf and blind. Coordinated by the French national centre working with
disabled children the partnership includes similar organisations in this field in several
countries: UK, DK, B (nl), NO, CZ and Pl.
By sharing experiences and expertise the network formed by the partnership intends to
bring about a number of improvements to the way in which children in this category are
educated; the experiences will be compared and this comparison will possibly be the
basis for improved pedagogical approaches. The project will include work on improving
children's communications skills and their integration into school life and society in
general, the production of guides and handbooks on good practice to be disseminated
through a Web site, and assistance and support to families in coping with new teaching
methods.
The first year will be charaterised by seminars to develop jointly the production of
materials, the second year the setting up of the a web site will be implemented and the
project will be extended to other Central and Eastern European countries and the third
year the preparation of an INSET course will be finalised and a final dissemination
conference will be organised at European level.

TITLE: Correspondances européennes : éducation, création et citoyenneté
DESCRIPTION: The project ''Correspondances européennes: education, création et citoyenneté'' or

''European correspondences: education, creation and citizenship'' aims to improve the
chances of teachers, at all levels of school education, to cope with the demands of the
Information Society; demands for which few existing teachers have been adequately
trained. The central objective of the project is to provide in-service opportunities for
teachers to acquire the information and skills to enable them to set up forms of
electronic penfriendships and correspondence between their schools. Coordinated by
the CIEP at Sèvres (Fr), a specialised institution in the field concerned, the partnership
includes in-service training bodies and teacher associations in De,It and Es. The
intention of the project is to organise in the first year national and transnational
meetings bringing together representatives of a number of schools ready to take part in
the project and in which materials will be developed and tested. The eventual outcome
of the project is the production of a package of teaching and training materials and work
by pupils plus the setting up a Website dedicated to the objectives of the project to
disseminate the outcomes and results of the project.

covered is the protection of the environment and the development in pupils of what is
called 'eco-citoyenneté' or ecological citizenship focusing on respect for the
environment and on a broader view of the responsibilities of each community for the
well being of all. The methodused in the project is to make maximum use of the Internet
and for those without the necessary equipment to produce a CD-ROM. The coordinator
is a French curriculum adviser and in-service trainer and the partnership has been
formed with in-service training units in Germany and the UK., following the successful
outcome of a Comenius Action I project on a similar theme. The project aims to
produce teaching modules which will be tested in schools and disseminated through the
Internet and on CD-ROM.

DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this project is to develop INSET for teachers towards emphasising the
importance of and assisting them in the development and setting up of support
structures in schools which monitor and assist student's progress in both academic and
non-academic areas in order to create the positive learning environment which is a pre-
requisite to school effectiveness.
The rationale for this project is that raising the level of achievement for pupils is an
issue that involves a whole-school approach to addressing the needs of pupils at a
variety of levels and that if teachers are going to be able to effectively meet this
challenge, they need particular training.
The framework for this project's development is as follows Year One: The development
and production of an INSET manual, Year Two: INSET piloting of year one,Year Three:
Evaluation, publication and dissemination.The actual workplan for Year one involves
each of the partners selecting two teachers who jointly and through visits to each of the
partner countries share experiences to form the basis of the manual which will have 50
pages- 1000 copies of which will be printed in English and French.

DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this project is to develop INSET which will improve the learning
environment in schools through improving the ability of teachers to develop and
maintain good discipline whilst also preventing bullying.
This three year project involving 3 institutions from three countries plans to achieve its
aims through the development of an inset manual and training programme (year one)
and its implementation both at national and European level in year two and three.
Secondary schools are targetted and the project plans to adopt a whole-school
approach to the issue of discipline and bullying.
First year activity revolves around the development of the programme manual. Focus
areas and issues are identified both in terms of content ( factors affecting
failure/success, student needs, motivation, self-esteem) and methodology( how to
implemenent effective strategies both within the classroom and within a whole-school
framework). Particular attention will be focused on the needs of disadvantaged children.
The proposed manual will have 50 pages. 1000 copies will be produced (French and
English in the same manual-100 pages in total).

DESCRIPTION: This project aims at improving the organisational and planning capabilities of teachers
and headteachers. It is planned that these aims will be achieved through the
establishment of networks where the exchange of experience and the development of
new approaches will be stimulated.
In its development of this theme, the project also aims at twinning the school and labour
market. Associated schools will also be involved in the development of the project. It is
anticipated that combining the actual experiences of head teachers with organisational
theory and practice from other domaines will identify key issues in improving
management technique whilst also enriching the quality of response to these issues
developed by the projects.It is anticipated that the modules develped by the institutions
in close cooperation with partner associated schols will result in courses which, within
the context of Comenius Action 3.2, can be deliverd to a European- wide audience.

TITLE: Ave - Améliorer la vie à l'école
DESCRIPTION: Ce projet vise à renforcer la prévention du décrochage scolaire et la promotion de la

santé et du bien-être à l'école. Il part du principe qu'un certain nombre de raison de
l'échec scolaire sont dûes à une mauvaise appréhension par les personnels de
direction, les enseignants, les parents et les élèves de l'importance des conditions de
vie et d'hygiène au sein des établissements. C'est pourquoi il propose de concevoir et
de mettre en place des modules de formation continue des enseignants intégrant cette
problématique dans une perspective européenne.
A cette fin, le projet entend développer une réflexion transnationale appelée à

TITLE: Rafforzamento delle Competenze Linguistiche : Strategie per Superare - La

Dispersione Scolastica
DESCRIPTION: Ce projet a pour objectif de renforcer la prise de conscience des enseignants dur
l'importance du rapport entre les compétences linguistiques et les facteurs de succès ou
d'échec scolaire. Le public cible concerné est constitué des élèves en lisière de la fin
de l'obligation scolaire. Il s'agit de voir dans quelles mesures les aptitudes
communicationnelles en général et les compétences linguistiques en particulier influent
sur le cursus scolaire et la préparation professionnelle. Partant de l'hypothèse que
cette zône de la communication est précisément celle où se jouent bon nombre des
scénario entraînant des occurences scolaires dont les conséquences risquent de se
prolonger durablement, il devrait être possible de définir des principes et des moyens
d'interventions appropriés aux situations idéentifiées. Les stratégies didactiques qui en
résulteront seront ici élaborées autour d'outils concrets (répertoires d'actions, tests de
diagnostic et de contrôle, grilles d'observation, etc.). Par ailleurs, les nouvelles
technologies - et particulièrement celles qui procèdent d'une approche multimedia -
seront mises à contribution afin de permettre l'effectuation du projet et la diffusion de
ses résultats à travers une mise en réseau des informations disponibles.

TITLE: Immaginare L'Europa: per una educazione alla cittadinanza europea
DESCRIPTION: Ce projet entend contribuer à la prise de conscience d'une citoyenneté européenne au

moyen d'une activité transnationale de formation de formateurs d'enseignants afin de
promouvoir au sein des systèmes éducatifs des pays concernés une réflexion
programatique active sur la notion de citoyenneté européenne en question. De la sorte,
il est prévu de mettre au point des stratégies pédagogiques innovantes destinées à
introduire dans le cursus des enseignants du secondaire supérieur des aspects
d'éducation civique européenne. Ainsi, par exemple, l'objectif sera de sensibiliser à des
concepts tel que celui de supranationalité ou de favoriser la compréhension critique des
différentes composantes de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler l'identité européenne. Ces
proositions doivent se traduire concrètement par (a) un module interdisciplinaire de
formation à destination des enseignants du secondaire; (b) une approche éducative
ouverte et à distance au départ d'un site Internet permanent à travers lequel sera
accessible pour tous ceux qui le souhaitent le matériel produit dans le cadre du projet.

TITLE: School Self Evaluation Towards a European Dimension
DESCRIPTION: The aim of the project is to design and organise an in-service training course for
primary school heads focusing on school self-evaluation. The course is intended to last
a week and will be composed of several modules; the course will be open to 14 to 18
heads as participants. Pilot training materials will be developed during the first year and
these will be tested during a trial run of the course towards the end of the 1st year. The
results of this trial run will in the 2nd year help to finalise the approach and contents of
the course. During the second year the in-situ in-service training course will be turned
into modules available through ODL, Opena and Distance Learning means.. Finally the
project also hopes to produce an international bibliography on the topic of self-
evaluation of schools. The methodology to bring about this course will be based on
action-research and will foresee a follow-up including networking between participants
by using internet.
It is hopes that the European in-set course will thus: a) provide an European overview
of evaluation systems of schools, b) encourage an exchange of experiences, c)
increase awareness of self-evaluation techniques, d) train participants in the use of self-
evaluation instruments and e) design training materials and tools useful for future
activities also through ODL.

TITLE: Dall'Agorà alla piazza virtuale per la costruzione di una cultura europea
DESCRIPTION: The title of the project is ''Dall’Agorà alla piazza virtuale per la costruzione di una
cultura Europea'' (From Agorà to the virtual piazza, towards the construction of a
European culture).
This project takes into account that our society is moving towards a process of
European integration and this process will occur only through respecting other local
cultures.
Agorà is understood as a place where men and women can compare ideas, participate
in political discussions and can contribute in cultural debates. Through the use of
information technology the project intends to create a virtual piazza of the European
Community. This is motivated by the necessity to reinforce the following elements
through teacher training: (1)Knowledge of the local historical environment; (2) the
capacity to use the telematic communicative and informative resources; (3) knowledge
of the differences and similarities of other urban European contexts; (4) knowledge of
the EU programmes; (5) enable the teachers to learn to socialise and to publish all the
didactic and cultural research that they produce so that other schools can benefit from
it.
The target groups for this project are teachers from primary schools and lower and
upper secondary schools in Bari, Paris and Madrid, namely from towns in the three
partner countries.
This project is a biannual one.

TITLE: La scena dei sogni. Formazione in servizio sui linguaggi dell'integrazione

teatrale.
DESCRIPTION: The project ''LA SCENA DEI SOGNI. Formazione in servizio sui linguaggi
dell’integrazione teatrale'' or ''The Stage of Dreams. In-service training on the
languages of theatre integration'' is a project involving organisations from four countries
(I, DK, E, UK) which intends to develop and test a pedagogical model for the training of
teachers and other staff working in the field of special needs education. Such model is
to be based on the use of drama as a means of expression and communication as a
means of enhancing educational opportunities for children in special education.
The project will be organised in three stages. The first stage will consist of the exchange
and comparison of current pedagogical practice and materials as developed by the
different participating organisations. The second stage will achieve the development
and testing of the model at local, regional or national level. The third stage will be
dedicated to the preparation of a cd-rom and videos documenting the model and the
experience.
The project hopes to disseminate the outcomes on the one hand through the possible
organisation of an in-service training course within the framework of action 3.2. and on
the other hand through the European Agency for Development in Special Needs
Education.

TITLE: Per una scuola dell'orientamento in Europa.
DESCRIPTION: The project ''PER UNA SCUOLA DELL’ORIENTAMENTO IN EUROPA'' or ''For a

Guidance Education in Europe'' deals with the introduction of pedagogical approaches
in compulsory education aimed at providing pupils with the capabilities required to
make decisions concerning their personal and professional development. Specifically,
the project focuses on the ''learning to learn'' capability and on project-oriented
pedagogies, that are intended to prepare pupils to plan education/training and
professional careers in a context of self confidence. Within this context the project
wants to focus especially on the following transversal competencies and skills: the
ability of building relationships, the capacity of critical thinking and reflection, the taking
up of responsibilities and the belief in oneself and self-esteem.
Activities - over a period of two years - will include the comparison of practice and
approaches developed in the countries involved (I, E, F, DK), the joint development of
educational materials for teachers and the trial run of experiments in schools to validate
the methodologies developed. The project’s outputs will consist of an interactive cd-rom
and textual supporting materials and possibly also of an in-service training within the
framework of action 3.2. of Comenius.

DESCRIPTION: The project ''Trans Europe Theatre: formazione al linguaggio Teatrale per insegnanti
delle scuole medie superiori'' or Training for the language of the theatre for teachers of
upper secondary education'' aims to develop through the exchange and comparison of
techniques, practice and traditions in the four countries involved, teacher training
courses in the use of drama for educational purposes. Thus the project intends to
stimulate the interest and the knowledge of the students by confronting them with the
social, artistic and cultural expressions of society and European culture transmitted
through theatre. The first phase of the project will be to compare and confront the
different metholodogies in training teachers in this area in the participating countries.
The second phase will be the development of a new programme integrating the theory
and practice which exist at European level.
The project's outputs will include training modules, learning materials (both paper-based
and on a cd-rom) and a web site. The outcomes will be disseminated through the
possible in-service training course organised within the framework of Comenius action
3.2., through conferences and seminars and also through the internet.

DESCRIPTION: The project ''Europe in progress: Il processo di costituzione dell'Unione Europea - un

approccio interdisciplinare alle problematiche culturali, sociali e storichi della Nuova
Europa'' or ''Europe in Progress: the process of creation of the European Union - an
inter-disciplinary approach to cultural, social and historical issues in the new Europe''
aims to develop innovative teacher training material on an inter-disciplinary approach to
the teaching of history and social sciences by focusing on the inclusion of disciplines
such as geography, economics, civics education, sociology, etc. Particular attention will
be given to the migrations of people and the mobility of ideas within contemporary
European history as sources of common progress.
The objective is also to re-inforce the introduction of the European dimension in the
subjects mentioned above by focusing in particular on interdisciplinary approaches
based on action-research.
A two-year initiative, it is based on a participatory design whereby teachers from a large
network of schools will be actively involved with teacher training institutes in the
development of the pedagogical material. These materials will be tested in national
training courses first and will be included at a later stage in the European in-set course
to be organised within the framework of action 3.2. of Comenius. It is also the intention
to produce a multimedia pack with materials to be used in open and distance learning.
The project also wishes to explore the potential of multimedia and of ODL, so as to
prepare distance teacher training courses.The project's outputs are intended to be two
modules, a cd-rom and a web site. The project brings together institutions and schools
from four countries (I, E, D and N) in an interesting transnational co-operation project.

Recupero Educativo'' or ''Secondary education based on intuitive logics to re-integrate
dropouts'' aims to develop training for secondary school teachers who are specialised in
strategies for the re-integration of educational dropouts into the school system. The
purpose is both the development of innovative pedagogical approaches and the
exploration of the potential of multimedia as an educational tool for the pupils targetted.
The project is based on an action-research approach whereby the teachers trainers and
the teachers involved will develop the approaches and materials from the results of
research and analysis activities carried out in the schools involved. The pedagogical
framework will be based on a modular approach allowing teachers to run focused
interventions (modules) on groups of pupils. Such interventions would be supported by
multimedia-based educational tools that would be developed as part of the project
activities. Materials for the training of teachers to the implementation of the pedagogical
framework and the use of the educational materials would also be developed and
tested, and these would be based on ODL approaches, in order to benefit from the
flexibility offered by these approaches.
The project's concrete outputs would be the pedagogical framework, the multimedia
educational materials to support the use of the pedagogical framework, and ODL
teacher training materials.

TITLE: Teaching to make a difference (A European in-service teacher training course

against discrimination)
DESCRIPTION: The present project of the Anna Frank Foundation intends to develop modules for a
teacher training course integrating approaches and experiences that have been tried
out in the five countries involved in it.The project results from research into the use of
educational materials in the area of discrimination and exclusion; those materials have
been developed over the previous years in the framework of Action 2 of Comenius.
This suggested that while there are many materials of good quality, most are not used
even where they have been paid for. The specific aim is therefore to train teachers on
how to deal with such themes. It does not create new materials - rather it deals with how
to make better use of existing ones through a solid, systematic training programme for
teachers and an expansion of teacher training activities throughout Europe. The starting
point of the project will be the draft in a questionnaire which will be sent to teacher
training institutions, and the results discussed at an Amsterdam meeting in autumn
1998. The subsequent results will form the basis for a course proposal which will again
be the subject of a meeting of partners. The modified proposal will then be translated
and published, together with a list of recommended literature and resources. In later
years a course will be developed and provided for teachers across Europe. A web-site
will be created to enhance dissemination and communication between teachers and
teacher trainers within a large network.

TITLE: Teaching quality improvement in environmental schools
DESCRIPTION: The objective of the present project is to organise European in-service training courses
focusing on teaching quality imporvement in environmental schools. Contentwise the
scheduled in-service training courses concern previously tested methodologies for
enhancing the quality of environmental schools concerning twxo aspects. the first
apsect is the environmental care and the second one is teaching students the extent to
which social action contexts influence and determine people's actions, however without
individualising and without a moralistic/environmentalist approach.
This Socrates application derives from an existing research project between the
partners. It proposes to develop 2 teacher training courses based on existing materials
in the area of environmental education. It will instruct participants how to improve
environmental quality in their schools through particular measures to enhance school
management and subject teaching.
In addition to the outcome of performing actually teacher training courses the project
will deliver two other products: a) an instruction guide for teacher trainers and b) a
collection of the curricular materials as used during the courses possibly on floppy disk
and/or on CD ROM.

TITLE: Brücke Zwischen Schule und Arbeitswelt
DESCRIPTION: Brücke zwischen Schule und Arbeitswelt
Ziel des Projekts ist es, eine Zusammenarbeit zwischen Fachleuten aus dem Bereich
Schule, Berufswelt und der Lehrerfortbildung auf europäischer Ebene aufzubauen und
eine europäische Brücke zwischen Schule und Beruf herzustellen. Somit soll, auf ganz
konkrete Weise, die europäische Dimension in die Lehrerfortbilung eingeführt werden.
Grundidee und gleichzeitig Ansatz formen hierbei der Übergang vom Konzept
''Schonraum Schule'' beziehungsweise ''phasenbedingter Abschied von der Kindheit''
hin zur Arbeitswelt, der ''Erwachsenenwelt''. Um dies harmonisch und auch effizient
gestalten zu können sind neben der bestehenden Partnerschaft des Projekts
Schulpartnerschaften vorgesehen. Das Projekt konzentriert sich in seiner Arbeit auf
folgende Themen/Bereiche: interkulturelles Lernen, Unterstützung von
Pflichtschulabgängern mit besonderen Bedürfnissen bei der Suche nach einem
Arbeitsplatz und Arbeitsassistenz sowie das Kennenlernen der Arbeitswelt und den
Berufsmöglichkeiten für behinderte. Um dies zu ermöglichen ist eine Vernetzung mit
dem sozialen Bereich (z.B.: Jugendämter) vorgesehen.
In der Beginnphase soll ein Konzept erarbeitet werden durch Materialsammlung

(diesbezügliche Publikation sowie die Erstellung von Unterrichtsmaterialien sind
vorgesehen) und den Austausch von Erfahrung innerhalb der Partnerschaft, um dann
im zweiten Durchführungsjahr Symposien, Konferenzen und Fortbildungskurse
organisieren zu können für die spezifischen Zielgruppen des Projekts (Lehrer und Leiter
des Sekundarstufenbereichs und Leute die in der Berufsbildung und -beratung tätig
sind).

TITLE: Wirtschaftserziehung für Schüler der Primar- und Sekundarstufe I
DESCRIPTION: EURO - LAND: Wirtschatserziehung für Schüler der Primar- und Sekundarstufe I
Ausgehend von den Lehrplänen der jeweiligen Staaten derTeilnehmer des Projekts
sollen zum Thema ''Die Europäische Dimension im Unterricht'' Medien und Materialien
aus bereits vorhandenen zusammengestellt werden beziehungsweise neu entwickelt
werden für möglichst viele Schulstufen. Für alle Unterrichtsstufen sollen Modulen
Lehrmaterialien entwickelt werden, welche im Unterricht eingesetzt werden können und
die den Lehrkräften ein fundiertes Wissen über die Europäische Union vermittelt wird.
In der Beginnphase konzentriert sich das Projekt auf Geographie und Wirtschaftslehre
wobei folgende Themen vorgesehen sind: Europäische Währungsunion, freier
Wahrenverkehr, freier Kapitalverkehr, freier Personenverkehr und freier
Dienstleistungsverkehr. Anhand der Module kann auch die Lehrerfortbildung didaktisch
moderiert werden. Es wird angestrebt die Module in jedem EU-Staat einzusetzen,
deswegen werden alle Module/Materialien mehrsprachig erstellt. Die angefertigten
Module/Materialien werden nach Themen strukturiert und zusammengefügt und so wird
eine ''didaktische Spielwiese - das EURO-LAND -'' entworfen und gestaltet mit genauer
Handlungsanleitung für den Gebrauch in den Schulen für verschiedene Altersstufen.
Ein weiteres Kernstück des Projekts ist die Lehrerfortbildung. Durch die Aufarbeitung
von Lehrmaterialien zur Wirtschaftserziehung in Europa sowie dem Einsatz von

TITLE: MATHE-CON - New methods in the teaching and learning of mathematics -

constructivist approach
DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this project is to develop a new model for the teaching of mathematics
in school settings. As such the project wishes to investigate a theoretical basis for the
model, develop modules and materials for implementing the model, devise a format for
INSET delivery particularly appropriate to the model and finally deliver the INSET itself.
The basic rationale for the project is a concern that what is taught by teachers is not
always effectively learnt by pupils.Therefore the concern of this project is to develop an
approach to the teaching of mathematics that emphasises understanding and
differentiation according to ability with particular attention paid to the needs of the less-
well able students.
As such project development is based on constuctivist theory, situated cognition, and
subjective experiences. The approach to project development is one of action research
through teams of teachers in each of the participating countries.
A three year project- planned outcomes are two publications of project findings in both
theoretical and applied forms, a teachers' handbook, the setting up of a www site and
INSET training courses.

TITLE: Principals for Europe
DESCRIPTION: Le projet de formation continue proposé s’adresse aux chefs d’établissements des
écoles du secondaire inférieur et supérieur (écoles de l’enseignement général et
professionnel/technique); il vise à les aider à monter des projets de coopération
transnationale au sein du programme communautaire SOCRATES; la formation
continue donnera une attention toute particulière à la création de Projets Educatifs
Européens au sein de l'Action 1 de Comenius 1 et des Projets Educatifs Conjoints au
sein de l'Action E de LINGUA.
La formation continue 'européenne' insistera aussi sur la création de projets Action 2 de
Comenius dans le domaine de l'interculturel, de l'éducation des enfants de migrants et
du combat contre le racisme et la xénophobie.
Les produits qui résulteront de ce projet Action 3.1. seront a) des manuels bilingues
focalisant sur la création, la mise en oeuvre et la gestion de tels projets de coopération
transnationale et b) la création d’un CD-ROM reprenant cette information; en plus
l'information des manuels sera diffusée sur Internet.
Le projet espère aboutir à des actions de formation continue aussi bien sur le plan
national que sur le plan européen, notamment (mais pas exclusivement!) dans le cadre
de l’Action 3.2. Dès le début l'objectif du projet est d'associer des institutions en Europe
centrale et orientale aux activités du projet et ceci comme ''silent partners''.
Le projet fera aussi appel à des enseignants et d'autres membres du personnel
chevronnés dans le domaine de la création de projets de coopération transnationale
dans les établissements scolaires. Le projet espère donc former par cette formation
continue des promoteurs Comenius pouvant exploiter à fond tout les innovations
pédagogiques et didactiques mises à la disposition des écoles par la création de tels
projets européens. L'interdisciplinarité aura un rôle clé dans la formation continue.

TITLE: MTM - Einsatz moderner Technologien im Mathematikunterricht
DESCRIPTION: 'MTM - Einsatz moderner Technologien im Mathematikunterricht' EN: 'Use of Modern

Technologies in the Teaching of Mathematics' is a partnership of mathematics experts
from 6 countries - AT, DE, NL, GB, SE, BE - with the target of developing a package of
multinational teaching material for in-service training of mathematics teachers in
(upper) secondary schoool focusing in particular on the use of modern technologies in
the teaching and learning of mathematics in European countries.
Target groups are authorities, heads of schools, teachers, researchers, in-service
trainers and last but not least pupils, who will gain from the integration of ICT in
mathematics. The project is planned as an one-year project.
The contents of the in-service package will be tested at national level before being
disseminated at European level. The material will be available in at least 5 languages
and later on be part of a European in-service training course under Action 3.2 of
Comenius. It is also hoped that the project will lead to a European network of teachers
of mathematics which use new technologies to enhance the teaching and learning of
their discipline. Concrete outcomes will be the teaching and learning pack and the in-
service training module.

TITLE: COCUS - Conflict Culture in Schools - A challenge for Leadership
DESCRIPTION: The main purpose of the project '' COCUS- Conflict culture in schools - a challenge of
leadership'' will be to design in the next two years a course and teaching and learning
materials in the area of conflict management for school-leaders, leading teams and
people in leading positions in schoolmanagement. To design that material for the
course, there will be research work in each of the participant countries. The base will
be the different models that have already been developed in each of the countries and
the different strategies already used. The course and the materials to run the course will
aim at developing the profesional competence of school leaders by enhancing their
awareness and understanding of conflict and their potentially support role. There will be
an international held workshop, nationaly financed, at the end of the first year. This
workshop will help the steering group of the project to give immediate feed back.The
evaluation of the workshop and further research will lead to a design of an international
held seminar (run under Comenius 3.2) and materials for that.The strategy of the
course will apply the tools and methods of conflict resolutions. It is dedicated to the
approach of systematic and experience-bases and self-reflective learning.

TITLE: Promoting the European Citizenship : Fighting violence, xenophobia and racism
in schools
DESCRIPTION: The project ''Promover a cidadania Europeia: lutar contra a violência, a xenofobia e o
racismo nas escolas'' ( Promote European citizenship; to fight violence, xenophobia
and racism in the schools) has as its main general objective the promotion of attitudes
and behaviour which go against xenophobia and racism and this starting from the
concrete school situation within which youngsters meet on an every day basis.
The specific objectives are to train teachers : a) to develop networks of schools and of
educational institutions which the objective to enhance co-operation in particular in the
fields of health, environment and in the field of models of evaluation and b) to develop
strong and efficient partnerships to elaborate and experiment didactical materials which
are use in European schools.
The methodologies used within this project will be the following: 1) the creation of
transnational partnerships and 2) a training seminar for teachers with the objective to
develop three didactical units. The units will be linked to the several levels of the
school system.
Ultimately it is hoped to bring about modifications of attitudes of youngsters in the areas
mentioned above.

TITLE: Supporting the Growth of Recently Graduated In-service Teachers
DESCRIPTION: The aim of this project is to support the professional and personal growth of the
personality of the recently graduated teacher while also to establishing a multi-national
training programme. The project is focused on primary school teachers who have
graduated 1-5 years ago from local institutes. To be able to gain these results, the
project has decided to use technology as a tool for planning, organizing and
implementing the modules in the participant countries.They will also organise seminars
where teachers will learn how to use the new technology. They want to promote further
cooperation within the existing network of teachers and trainers whilst also extending
its number and influence. The project also looks to promote the use of educational
technologies at school and in all training environments. They will produce a set of
modules to be implemented in each of the partner institutions as a part of their existing
curriculum. They will also develop study material which could be used in distance
education courses. They will collect data from the schools that take part in this project
producing a report which will be disseminated through the pedagogical journals in
participating countries and later on in other international journals. They hope that after
the first results, new partners will join this programme.

TITLE: The Small School - Heart of the Village in changing Europe
DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this project is to support teachers in small, rural primary schools as they
attempt to bring a spirit of lifelong learning to their school such that not only do pupils
benefit but the local community also benefits through the development of schools as
local resource centres.
This project is undertaken by a partnership of four in-career education providers
working together with local schools and higher education institutes.
The target group for this three year project is, therefore, not only primary school
teachers and pupils in these rural areas but also the local, rural community.
Particular content areas to be investigated cover the organisation of learning within the
rural school, communication between rural schools and the development of school-
based local resources. Specific focus areas can, therefore, be identified as exchanging
new methods in teaching multi-age groups, developing learning through ODL and NIT
and developing the idea of schools as local education centres.
The main first year outcome is an INSET course based on the year's transnational and
local work. The main project outcomes to be achieved by the end of the project's three
years will be a handbook entitled 'Small schools in Europe', a video , a CD Rom and a
www site.

TITLE: IPWEM - International Programme for Women in Educational Management:

Training the Trainers
DESCRIPTION: The three year project ''IPWEM'' aims to enhance the opportunities for women to take
on managerial responsibilites in education through a series of initial and in-service
training strategies. The project has been devised by staff development units at national
and provincial levels in FI/UK/IE and PO against a background of inequalities in the
educational world, particularly in schools.
Although in the majority in most sectors of education, women are still in a small minority
where managerial posts are concerned. By targeting teacher trainers, the project hopes
to influence the environment in which teachers work and the way in which they are
trained to facilitate access to management by women. There will be three phases in the
project, the first to develop networks and the exchange of experience and materials, the
second to begin producing a video and CD-Rom and to begin planning teacher courses
to take place in the third phase at the same time as the publication of a handbook on
women in education in Europe.

DESCRIPTION: This project aims to develop awareness of the EU through developing comparative
European studies in schools at all levels- with particular emphasis on the lower
secondary stage- and through in-service teacher training in four countries with
participation of teacher trainers and teachers from all partner countries. The aim of this
project is to generate new in-service training courses which will use new didactic
methods. These courses are intended to be included in the normal future activities of
the participating in-service training providers. They will also produce material that will
be used in both teacher training and in the classroom. The development of CD-roms
for use in the classroom is also anticipated. Courses for teachers who have developed a
European Dimension in their own teaching will also be organised.

DESCRIPTION: DYSLEXIA, en tvåveckors fortbildningskurs inom ämnesområdet : läs- och

skrivsvårigheter
The project intends to set up a course focusing on dyslexia; the course will last at least
one week (possibly two weeks) and will focus especially on reading and writing
difficulties.
The main objectives of the project are : a) to enhance awareness of dyslexia problems
in all the Member States of the European Union and in other European countries, b) to
see to it that teachers and other members of the educational staff get a deeper
understanding and c) to enhance European co-operation in this field starting from
comparative studies which the participants to the in-set courses will make; these
comparative studies will be based on the work of the participants with dyslectic pupils.
It is the intention to give to the participants at the en of the course a (European!)
Certificate of Advanced Professional Studies, CAPS that equals 2 units of a Masters
degree. The in-wet course will be partly in situ courses or conatct courses but also
courses using Open and Distance Learning means such as electronic conferencing
and new information technologies such as is done within open university based in-set
courses. It is thus hoped that participants will acquire the necessary skills to work with
dyslexic children and to make within this framework specific and expert usage of new
technologies and multimedia.
The first year will focus on creating course modules, the second on holding the in-set
course itself and the third on evaluation and gathering of education material.
The key activities will be: seminars, workshops, IT and distance learning..

TITLE: UCISE - Understanding Christianity and Islam in Sekular Europe
DESCRIPTION: (UCISE) Understanding Christianity and Islam in secular Europe.
The aim of the project is to develop in-service training courses for members of
educational staff focusing on methods for multicultural and multireligious education
within the school and also within basic adult education.
The intention is also to do research on and to gather documentation on teaching
methods and ideologies within intercultural, interreligious and multicultural education.
The project furthermore intends to develop methods and material that visualise and
strengthen the status of minorities and that create and enhance intercultural
understanding; it is also hoped that the methods and materials developed will facilitate
the bringing about of a dialogue and will make available comparative knowledge on
other religions and on views of life which will help to strengthen one's own identity.
The taget group is teachers and all other members of staff interested in intercultural and
interreligious education.
The project is scheduled to last three years: the first year will focus on action-research,
the second year will be used to develop the European in-service training course and the
third year will be used to writing out the course material and disseminating it as largely
as possible. Thus the key aspects of the project will be: research activities and
gathering of information on religious education aspects and methods for a multicultural
and multireligious education.
The project will result in several documents, in an European in-set course and in the in-
set course material which will be produced.

TITLE: Quality and Diversity in Early Years practice; Process and Practice
DESCRIPTION: The Quality and Diversity in Early Years project aims to develop a course on reflective
teaching as a means of identifying equal opportunities for boys and girls and the social
inclusion of minority and immigrant groups. It starts with a large seminar in Portugal to
define the parameters for the project and the course training materials, and then applies
them to schools in the partnership localities. The project will contribute to an increase in
research possibilities for women, as the target group is teachers in early years
education. Educational methods in Art and Movement, both containing cross-cultural
and gender elements, will be identified and mapped with particular attention also which
will be paid to the European dimension. National and transnational networks of teachers
interested in using modern information technology for contributing to a continuing
debate on social inclusion and gender issues in Europe will be initiated. Schools will be
involved in the project possibly through Action 1 EEPs of Comenius.
It is a three year project which will ultimately be described on the web and distributed to
other institutions of education.

TITLE: Pupil underachievement : training for school improvement
DESCRIPTION: The project intends to develop an in-service training course in the field of issues in
relation with underachievement. The specific objectives of the project thus are: a)
identify and describe patterns of underachievement in pupils aged 9-11 in the partner
regions, b) to collect data relating to underachieving, especially case study materials of
successful strategies to do something about underachieving, c) to use the data and
case studies as a basis for locally based seminars leading to an action 3.1. course, d) to
run an international 3.2. course, e) to develop materials from 3.1 and 3.2 which can be
used as a basis for dissemination and as a resource pack for teachers. and f) to
disseminate the end results of the programme through publications and linked series of
national confernces.
The project identifies the teacher and the system as the main reasons for under-
achievement rather than the pupil and the materials to be developed would recommend
new pupil-teacher relationships within a Lifelong Learning framework. Seminars and
workshops are also planned, both as a part of the project and for teachers in the locality
of the project partners. Target populations cover all people in the Education service with
a responsibility to improve knowledge of, and action for improving, underachievement
in schools for pupils aged 12 to 19.

TITLE: 3L Project - Literacy within Lifelong Learning
DESCRIPTION: The Literacy within Lifelong Learning Project intends to investigate, research, compare,
evaluate and exchange effective practice in language and literacy and locally apply
best practice in selected schools. It will also develop resources and materials to
implement such practice on a local level and achieve mutual understanding of literacy
and increased knowledge of ways of addressing these. the target group consists of
European teachers teaching literacy skills to children from the age of five to twelve.
The result of the project will be the dissemination of theory, and findings of teaching
strategies by a scientific study, by documented exchange of good teaching practice, by
arranging seminars and by developing an European in-service training course for
teachers and heads. The project takes a wider view of literacy than simply reading and
writing skills and invokes the idea that family learning and the use of computers are an
essential part of improving literacy.
The project will implement the use of information technology communication between
participants, by using e-mail and by creating web sites. In all forms of publication the
three languages of the project will be used viz. English, Portuguese and Swedish. The
outcomes will be available through all interested teachers though internet and the web
sites.

TITLE: TOIL - Teaching of Initial Literacy: Accelerating literacy development for bilingual
and monolingual learners
DESCRIPTION: The TOIL project intends to produce, pilot and implement at European, member state
and city levels an in-service training course designed to equip teachers and others with
skills, knowledge and understanding required to accelerate children's acquisition of
competence in literacy. The project will draw on and synthesize best practice in the
participating cities and their member states in the construction of the programme. The
project will also test and produce recommendations about effective in-service training
models with particular emphasis on the role of coaching and mentoring to complement
a training programme.
In particular the materials will target teachers of immigrant school children who need to
teach literacy in the host country language, but it is also believed that they will be
relevant to all underachieving children. This 5-city, 5 country project draws upon best
practice from within the participating cities. The results will be placed on the DIECEC
(Development Intercultural Education in Cities of the European Community: a network
of cities involved in Comenius) web-site after the 3 year duration.
Evaluation and monitoring is done internally and include the use and analysis of pro-
formas and course/teacher appraisal forms.

TITLE: CLITT - Training Teachers for Cooperative Learning in Intercultural Eudcation
DESCRIPTION: The objective of the projet CLITT is to develop an action 3.1. European teacher
education course to implement and disseminate the results achieved by the CLIP
project over the period of 1994 till 1997. The CLIP project focuses on Co-operative
learning in Intercultural projects and it is based on the theories of Complex Instruction
(CI) (status treatment in heterogeneous classrroms) and the multiple intelligences
theory. The intention is that the European in-set course will enable teachers: a) to
organise co-operative learning activities in their classrooms in such a way that it meets
the criteria for intercultural education and b) to use the different skills and knowledge of
their students in a construtive way in order to improve the learning results of students.
One of the main findings the present CLIP method is based on is the fact that Co-
operative Learning as developed in the Complex Instruction improves the quality of
learning and the outcomes for the students who are at risk. The target groups of the
project are teachers both in primary and secondary education and teacher educators.
The expected result will be a training module and a training manual for teacher training
courses for teachers and teacher trainers. The project hopes to enhance dissemination
of its outcomes within the countries involved in the CLIP project; it also intends to use
the internet and to co-operate for dissemination with another important NGO called
EFIL, the European Federation for Intercultural Learning). It is hoped that the project
will contribute to bring about 'equitable classrooms' which means that teachers will be
trained to work in heterogeneous groups and make sure that all pupils (including
handicapped children, children at risk because of their social and cultural backgrounds)
have equal access to the learning process.

Learning
DESCRIPTION: This project takes cognisance of the need that is now apparent to take account of the
many pupils who experience discontinuity in learning. Teaching staff that try to meet
their particular educational needs have identified a gap in their knowledge and
professional expertise in addressing their intermittent pupils. This project aims to
develop appropriate differentiation in the school systems which support the individual
needs of interrupted learners. They will try to identify principles in policy and practice
which enable schools to support learners out of school. They will interview teachers,
pupils and families to get more information and develop a few Case studies in each
state. They will collect all good practice and prepare and offer an information package
for the relevant target group. They will also produce a framework of a module for
teacher training , promote the use of technology and encourage the wider use of
networks between interested teachers.

TITLE: Expertise 5x5 : Expanding European Resources in Teacher In-Service Education
DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this project is to investigate how the potential of transnational Inset and
the European Dimension can best be used to develop good practice in the area of
children with special needs. The project will achieve these aims through an institutional
structure consisting of 5 training partners, 25 associated pilot schools and a training
paradigm consisting of five multi-disciplinary themes. The themes of the paradigm are
Autonomous learning, New technology, Special needs, Languages and Communication
and Inter-culturalism. The in-service training for these themes will be prepared and led
by the five partners in collaboration with five co-ordinating schools- one in each
state.This project is established for teachers of pupils aged 9-13 years in the 25 pilot
schools and for teachers from schools that will join the project in subsequent years or
who join the network established by the first 25 pilot schools. They will also develop a
curricular module in the five themes mentioned above. ODL will be used in the project
in a significant way.

DESCRIPTION: This project aims to establish a transnational in-service Master's Degree for school
teachers and other educators which has a European Dimension as its main focus. The
project is unique since school teachers from all participating countries will be able to
study for a degree and also be taught together for a substantial part of the course.
Distance learning techniques will also be used to enhance communication between
partner institutions and among school teachers. The aim of these courses is also to
develop curriculuar modules in European issues.The pupils from the schools of
teachers studying the Master Programme will benefit directly since part of the course
involves school-based practical work. Seminars for teachers will be held in the region of
each institution to encourage the dissemination of experience to other teachers.
Information about the Master's degree will be made available on the World Wide Web.

TITLE: Babel unravelled : Language and communication in primary school EEPs
DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this project is to provide INSET for the development of creative
strategies for overcoming linguistic barriers in primary school EEPs. To achieve its aim
the project proposes to provide examples of how linguistic challenges can be met both
within particular subject areas and within a cross -curricular context. They wish to target
teachers, pupils and other school staff who may be involved in transnational support
communication eg school secretaries.The project is also keen to change the perception
of language as the burdensome challenge of EEP work to its perception as a means of
enriching EEP work. To this end they also seek to develop an INSET unit illustrating
the interface between language/culture and identity.Project outcomes are anticipated as
INSET modules and materials to form the basis of an Action 3.2 course in year one
with year two activities centring around addressing the linguistic challenges posed by
more abstract, scientific or creative curricular areas and year three activites involving
the development of self-study units for use by children with their parents and the
generation of a CD- Rom covering all three years of project activity.

TITLE: Intergenerational learning - A transnational training programme for teachers
DESCRIPTION: The pupose of this project is provide INSET for both primary and secondary teachers
towards the introduction of an element of intergenerational learning into their teaching
and learning organisation.
This project builds on two initiatives funded by DGV in 1993 and 1994 which looked at
identifying examples of good practice in school-based intergenerational work.
The rationale for this 3-year Comenius Action 3.1 project is that successful
intergenerational learning is largely dependent on effective facilitation by teachers in
the classroom who require an understanding of the theoretical and practical approaches
involved.
This project will, therefore, develop an Intergenerational training programme for
delivery at the end of each of the project's three year life-span.This course will be
developed for both teachers and teacher trainers. A training manual and materials for
both teachers and teacher trainers will be produced and disseminated through the
internet and through national conferences.

DESCRIPTION: Multilingual, Multimedia Projects for European School Partnerships
This project aims at promoting the European dimension by developing an intensive

course to increase the awareness and use of European languages with an emphasis on
the (LWU)- the least widely used, through collaboration on multimedia projects
undertaken in cooperation with partner schools. It stems from a previous Lingua
(SALVE) project. This project intends to develop training materials over three years,
building up a bank of multilingual, multimedia resources drawing on additional LWU
languages each year. The linguistic focus of the intensive course will include three
LWU languages each year. The first intensive course, developed during the first year of
the project, will be elaborated in cooperation with partners from Finland, Sweden and
Italy. A multimedia training programme will be accompanied by seminars using
CD/video materials to raise awareness of the potential for children's learning of
multilingual projects undertaken in cooperation with partner schools in Europe. The
participants will additionally collaborate in producing a multilingual, multimedia CD. The
main target group of the project is primary school teachers.

DESCRIPTION: EPTE: European teacher placement in enterprise
This three year project aims at promoting the European dimension of teacher in-service
training. The project is specially designed to promote deeper understanding of the
added-value school-enterprise links can bring to the curriculum and, in particular, the
role of teacher placement in enterprise. It will stress the influence of a quality approach
to school-enterprise links and the need to integrate such activity within the curriculum
as a whole. The project will develop an in-service training programme for general and
vocational education teachers in the 4-18 age range which will be appropriate for
adaptation to all European countries and will be delivered by a multi-national group of
trainers. It is intended to encourage teachers to set up partnerships with a school
enterprise focus under Comenius Action 3.1. During the first year the partners will meet
to develop the training programme, agree monitoring and evaluation strategies and
develop the support materials which will be trialled in in a pilot workshop in the UK. In
the second year, the training programme will be adapted for use in other member states
and the materials will be adapted to take account of experiences from the first
European placements within Comenius Action 1.

TITLE: Child Education Programme
DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this 3 year project is to develop accredited INSET for Educational staff
who work with visually impaired children. It is an initiative introduced by three teacher
teacher education institutions from 3 countries ( UK, Swe and SF).
The rationale for this project is that the current trend towards mainstreaming of children
results in children being taught by teachers who lack the appropriate skills and
experience teaching in classrooms and schools without appropriate support or
resources.
The framework for this project's development is as follows:Year One- Sharing
experience for curricular and material development.Year Two- Validation of curriculum
developed. Implementation on a pilot basis. Year Three: Evaluation, publication and
dissemination.
The project focus is on sharing experience in order to define a common curricuum,
training materials and outcomes and to consider how this can be presented in a
modularized INSET format.
The project's final outcome will be INSET (curriculum and materials) which will be
validated in each of the partner countries.

DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this 3 year project is to extend the already existing EUROPEPI
Programme to more schools, teachers and pupils in the 11-18 age range.EUROPEPI (
the European Personal Effectiveness Programme Initiative) is designed to increase the
personal development of students and help them develop strategies for Lifelong
Learning through focusing on developing competencies and qualitites identified as
important by schools and businesses in Europe.
Four five-day Action 3.2 courses are planned for 1998 - one in each of the partner
countries.It is hoped that the third year of the project will see INSET being extended
beyond the partnership group and being delivered at a local, national and european
level on a self-funding basis by means of the modules and materials developed during
year one and two.
The basis for this INSET is providing teachers with the knowledge, skills and stategies
to add a personal effectiveness programme to their work and develop this through a
cross-curricular approach by means of transnational partnerships involving both schools
and business/industry.

TITLE: MIMS - Managing in Multicultural Schools
DESCRIPTION: The MIMS - managing in multicultural schools - addresses the issues of managing in
multicultural schools and will put in place an in-service teacher training programme
based on the knwoledge, experience and expertise of previous transnational work which
has been carried out by RAMA (Raising and Measuring Achievement) and Management
of Change projects. The objective is to create, test and deliver locally, nationally and
transnationally differentiated in-service teacher training programmes to sensitise
schools, headteachers, senior staff, school governors and teachers in cities with a high
immigrant population to the issues involved in multicultural teaching so that schools can
give the appropriate responses in their schools to the needs of pupils from different
heritages, in particular those from ethnic minorities, with a specific focus on their levels
of achievement, in terms of academic, personal, social, moral, spiritual and
interpersonal success.
The project builds on the principle of valuing the pupils own culture and uses standard
teacher training methods of lectures, large and small group sessions and peer tutoring.,
The use of video and teleconferencing will be investigated during the second year. 6-7
cities in EU countries are involved, many of them with the most forward looking
policies and high expertise in dealing with immigrant children. The spin-off into other
European countries is likely to be high.

TITLE: CRAVE - Citizenship, Religion and Values Education
DESCRIPTION: The CRAVE project (Citizenship, Religion and Values Education) will develop, over 3
years, an in-service programme for teachers to enhance pupils self-esteem, notions of
selfworth and identity through the use of stories from religious sources in the major
faiths and the involvement of children in drama and story-telling activities. The project
intends to bring together and train teachers with succesful experience and interest in
areas of citizenship, values education and multicultural or multifaith education on the
one hand and on the other hand teachers with experience with drama and story telling
in the classroom. The vehicle of training will be the production of a teacher training
programme and attendant materials for trainers and trainee teachers; its title will be
''Citizenship and values education: sharing stories through drama''. Content will be
drawn from the major religious traditions; approaches using drama and story telling will
be identified. The project follows directly from a previous Comenius Action 2 project
led by the same coordinator and indirectly from another Comenius Action 2 project led
by others. The programme will lead to the production of a CD ROM, a web page and a
printed version for in-service trainers.The materials will cover such subjects as
citizenship, racism and xenophobia, shared values and several seminars are also
planned as a part of the project. Evaluation will be done by headteachers, staff and
parents during the course of the project.

TITLE: Creative approaches to the curriculum as a vehicle for the european dimension.
DESCRIPTION: The project ''Creative approaches to the curriculum as a vehicle for the European
dimension'', is designed to make imaginative use of drama as a teaching and language
facilitation tool and to enhance through the use of educational drama and the visual arts
the development of literacy and communication skills. It combines this with the use of
communications technology as a support teaching tool, creates videos, uses
videoconferencing, organises workshops and involves teachers, administrators and
pupils in an Action Research project. The outcomes include in-service training courses
at the end of the third year but up from the end of the first year a professional videotape
with case studies will be available; teacher materials will be developed for the in-service
training sessions and discussions will be held with universities to establish formal
accreditation of the course for teacher's professional development.
Its approach is a highly active learning by doing, involving children, teachers and
professional actors in dialogue to extend their knowledge and use of the spoken
language and to improve visual literacy; the use to this effect of photography, drama,
puppetry, mime, dance, music and storytelling based on folk tales and folk music are
particularly innovative.

TITLE: The European Dimension in special education: sharing good practice in a multi-
agency approach to meeting the diverse needs of individual pupils
DESCRIPTION: The European Dimension project aims to share good practice in Special Education at a
European level. It puts special emphasis on multi-agency strategies, integration and
partnership and the creative use of Information Technology.The project stresses to
believe in the creative educational opportunities offered by a European dimension in
Special education; the project thus aims to assist teachers and other professionals
involved in special education to deliver an appropriate, challanging and stimulating
curriculum for all pupils with special educational needs. Emotionally and physically
handicapped Children and those with severe learning difficulties will be involved as well
as teachers and other professionals in communicating through email and the internet in
specific projects.It includes visits to special schools, finding examples of good practice
and designing the guidelines for an in-service programme. Innovative are the multi-
agency approach to special education, the emphasis on maximum autonomy in
learning, the development of personal educational action plans and the creative use of
NIT. It follows on from a previous Socrates project. They include the use and further
development of strategies include the use of special computer based techniques for
overcoming handicap such as diagnostic software, CAL programmes and touch-screen
strategies. Other topics to be explored include basic word-processing. A web page will
be created. Four countries, UK, FR, NL and the Czech Republic are involved in a 2
year project.

TITLE: Training with Europe
DESCRIPTION: The Training with Europe project puts partners in UK, NL and Romania together to
develop Training modules for those staff educating students with visual impairment. It is
believed that no such European course presently exists in other European Union
countries and that the project partners can thus develop a model to be widely used in
several Member states and other eligible countries. The activities of the project will start
by using modules developed in the UK for the Royal National Institute for the Blind by
the University of Plymouth, assesses their suitability for Romania and Holland with
teachers and trainees and translate them accordingly in Dutch and Romanian. The
methodology the project will be based on is participatory learning focusing on the active
involvement of the learners. A Train the Trainer cascade process is used in the two
recipient countries. Arrangements are also in hand to accredit the programme in
Romania. The project already has links with Action 1 EEPs, European Educational
Partnerships of COMENIUS. The project coordinator is linked to a large UK network
called OPSIS, which is the National Association of Independent organisations for the
blind and visually impaired children. Internal and external evaluation of the project
activities and outcomes are scheduled. At the end of the third year the project is to
organise a major conference to disseminate largely the outcomes.

TITLE: Implementation of the Internet, especially the Web, in the classroom
DESCRIPTION: Implementation of the Internet, especially the Web, in the classroom
This pluriannual project aims at promoting the updating and improvement of the skills of
teachers and other educational personnel concerning the use of new information
technologies.The main objectives of the project are 1) to enhance the pedagogical
abilities of teachers and other educational staff to implement the Internet as an
integrated educational and administrative device in school settings at all levels, 2) to
bring together European teacher educators to exchange experiences and to develop
links with other European countries, 3) to develop and disseminate techniques and
teaching methods that facilitate the implementation of information networks in the
classroom and 4) to improve the prospects of pupils to achieve better education. During
the first project year an in-service curriculum is developed and a pilot on-site course is
run for 30 teachers from the partner countries. The participants will be introduced to the
following applications on the Internet: E-mail, news-groups, irc, real-time audio/video
and the WWW. The main focus will be on the use of the Web in designing educational
environment, and recieving and transmitting text, illustrations, video and audio for
educational purposes. In the course of the following project years each partner country
will design and run a distance course for educationalists all over Europe. The main
target groups of the project are teachers and other educational personnel at pre-
primary, primary and secondary level. The expected outcomes are the in-service
curriculum and the in-service network techniques, the in-service modules and the
instructional material.

TITLE: ''Futures'' - Future Methods through teaching ''Future Studies''
DESCRIPTION: ''Futures'' - Future Methods through teaching ''Future Studies''
This project aims to develop a European dimension in the in-service training of primary
school teachers in the three partner countries, focusing on the teaching of ''Future
studies''. It is planned for three years and cooperates closely with a Comenius Action 1
project in which an EEP will be set up between six schools- two in each country - all
teaching ''Future studies'' in selected classes. The project provides an opportunity for
the teacher trainers to compare the impact of a European dimension in their courses,
especially at an in-service training level, and- by working with schools in the EEP- to be
able to examine the practical, theoretical and technical issues involved in achieving
this. During the first year 1) the staff from each of the partner institutions will work with
selected local teachers doing ''Future studies'' with their classes and assisting them in
linking with similar classes in the partner countries via email and internet, 2) the
partners involved in the project will meet three times during the first year in order to
compare data and experiences in the teaching of ''Future studies'' and seeing how the
European dimension fits in respective school curricula and teaching styles and 3) the
project will set up a trinational in-service course for teachers to examine the future for
teaching in schools, especially focusing on the technology involved and developing a
range of resourses: teacher guides, videos a CD Rom etc. for dissemination.
The project has developed out of a previous ERASMUS project.
Keywords: European dimension- ''Future studies''- in-service training- primary schools.

TITLE: Transpro - Transnational educational projects using the project method and ICT in
in-service-training for teachers
DESCRIPTION: The TRANSPRO project - Transnational educational projects using the project method
and ICT in in-service training for teachers intends to create over 2 years a virtual
European in-service training course focusing on transnational and cross-curricular
projects using the project method and ICT as an educational tool. The outcome will be a
basic ODL course on the educational use of the internet. It is also the intention to link
local and regional education authorities to institutions of higher education in different
countries to exchange knowledge in the field of education and thus to enhance co-
operation between higher education and partners in the local community. The project
will also establish web pages. In terms of pedagogical methodologies the project deals
with project work of which the objective is to enhance active learning and teaching and
it also deals with the pedagogical use of NIT as a means of communication and co-
operation between teachers/children within specific projects using new information and
communication technology. Meetings will be held in Prague and these will include a
workshop for teachers on the uses of ITC. Course development takes place between
meetings and as a result of them. The project includes Norway (coordinator), UK,
Denmark and the Czech Republic. It is hoped that the project will lead to an European
in-service training course in the third year of its activities.

TITLE: Training for school teachers about the best environmental educational methods
DESCRIPTION: Le projet ''Training for school teachers about the best environmental educational
methods'' (Formation des enseignants à l'éducation à l'environnement) vise à former
des professeurs à l'éducation à l'environnement dans un contexte de coopération
européenne afin de promouvoir l'éducation à l'environnement et la dimension
européenne dans l'éducation dans les pays partenaires en général et en Hongrie en
particulier où des efforts importants doivent être faits pour promouvoir cette dimension
européenne.
Dans un pays où l'environnement a été sacrifié pendant des années le seul moyen
d'améliorer la situation est de former les enseignants pour que les élèves puissent
ensuite gérer eux-mêmes les problèmes et contribuer en tant que citoyens actif (au
niveau national et européen) au développement d'une société durable. Le projet
transnational insistera surtout sur les approches pédagogiques innovantes et actives
dans ce domaine. Le partenariat associe des formateurs de pays où ce problème a déjà
été pris en compte et qui pourront aider leurs collègues à se former eux-mêmes; un des
objectifs est de former un groupe d'une trentaine de personnes en Hongrie qui seraient
des promoteurs clé pour l'éducation à l'environnement et la dimension européenne. Le
projet devrait déboucher sur l'organisation d'un séminaire de formation continue dans le
cadre de l'Action 3.2. et sur la production de matériaux pédagogiques appropriés
(vidéo,CD ROM,publications écrites) à l'intention des enseignants intéressés.

TITLE: Eurocitizen - Citizenship : national and/or European in EU and associated

countries
DESCRIPTION: The objectives of the project 'EUROCITIZEN - CITIZENSHIP is organise in-service

training so as to clarify the notion of National and European citizenship in general for
all the partners involved in the project but in particular for the Romanian citizens who
for almost of a century were intoxicated with the communist ideology.
To meet the objective, the project wants to set up an ''European secondary school
cabinet'' capable of introducing the European dimension in the behaviour of young
generations. This will be done by giving information on history, institutions and structure
of the European Union, by making young people ,aware of the problems which may
appear in the process of integration of Romania and other countries in the EU and by
devising specific activities in which young people at school can be involved as active
citizens. The project is supposed to last 3 years and the product will be a booklet
entitled ''The real meaning of being a European young citizen'' which will focus on
values education, on the status and the responsibilties of European citizenship, on the
dangers of narrow nationalistic views, on tolerance towards ethnic minorities and groups
such as homosexuals, gypsies etc. It is hoped that this booklet could be the basis of an
European in-service training seminar or for a course to be used in in-service training of
all teachers across Europe but especially in Romania and other Central and Eastern
European countries which have to face the same challenges.
