SUMMARY

GROW: Growing to respect our World.
Our partnership expects to create a common framework to develop an awareness of good citizenship, from self-knowledge to “belonging to a community”, through learning healthy and sustainable habits, as sports, food, environmental care and behaviour rules. The project main idea is sharing experiences between partners while learning the value of diversity, understanding differences and similarities, respecting both oneself individuality and others. Since it's focused on cross curricular issues, we will involve children from 4 to 12, dividing them into groups of work, in order to adapt the topic to their curriculum and age features. Thus, although the Respect is the common topic, there will be different approaches: self-knowledge ,identyfing and describing feelings both self and otherness, to learn concepts as cultural or personal difference ; environmental education developing an awareness of ecology and taking responsiblities for respecting and improving the environment, and also understanding the need of living healthy and active; Social Competence, working in topics as tolerance, violence, xenophobia, equality, etc., comparing cultural “codes” to learn to respect diversity, and also improving social skills and prevent conflicts creating trainings for older children to support younger ones during “break time” to become more active , learning to respect “play rules”; Community project ,analysing their community:main features which makes it different of something else, creating a social enterpreneur project, colaborating with local institutions. This project will create a framework between countries finding common strategies to adquire the knowledge of Global European Community rules.
