I COLLEGHI FRANCESI DELLA REGIONE NORMANDIA HANNO CONDIVISO LA RICHIESTA DI PARTENARIATO PER GLI EUROPE CLUBS
Gli EUROPE CLUBS sono costituiti da ragazzi tra gli 11 e i 14 anni, che sotto la guida degli insegnanti o di adulti della scuola, si ritrovano per giocare o lavorare a progetti creativi che hanno a tema l'Europa. Si tratta di un progetto nato nella regione francese di Calvados, per iniziativa dell'autorità locale, con l'intento di aumentare la consapevolezza dell'identità europea nei ragazzi adolescenti e che in Francia ha visto la nascita di molti gruppi. In Europa ci sono solo 5 EUROPE CLUBS e l'intento è quello di crearne altri. Chi è interessato a condividere e partecipare al progetto contatti i colleghi francesi ai recapiti indicati.
Dear colleagues,
We are currently looking for new partners to join a "Europe Clubs" network.
"Europe Clubs" are small groups of pupils who meet during lunchtime or after class to play games or work on a creative project about Europe. The clubs are managed by teachers or members of school staff on their free time. The pupils are aged between 11 and 14 years old.
It is an initiative of our local authority, the County Council of Calvados (in Normandy region), which is in charge of managing those schools ("collèges" in French). The County wants to raise European awareness among 11-14 years old pupils. Every year, a Europe Day for all pupils of "Europe Clubs" of Calvados (about 200 pupils) takes place in May. The foreign partners of Europe Clubs are invited to participate in the Europe Day. There are currently 5 Europe Clubs from other EU countries: Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Lithuania and Italy. Pupils and teachers are hosted in families of the partner school.
Since 2015, our EDIC works with the Calvados Council to help the Europe Clubs with their projects. Several French "Europe Clubs" told us that they are looking for EU partners to work with during the year and to host them in May. So here is our question:
Do you know if something similar to "Europe Clubs" exist in your area? If not, do you know teachers in your local area who would be interested in creating a "Europe Club" in their school and working with a French "Europe Club"?
