KEYS projects


aimed to gather and share good practices from partner countries in two year programme to encourage best results, innovative products to improve the quality of education and training through local workshops, online classroom implementation, and face to face International Teacher Training Course.

aimed to build teacher capacity for competence oriented education in a heritage context.Aqueduct offered access to an attractive and effective environment for transversal keycompetence oriented education based on multidisciplinary project work and offers a lowthreshold heritage entrance to lifelong learning.

the main aim of the project was to examine and summarize good practices in school and out of school environments and to produce an innovative technology for developing key competencies in studying mathematics and natural sciences in grades 4th to 7th.

KEYS projects


the innovative aspect of the READ IT didactic methodology was to combine the technology in terms of Digital Storytelling and book trailer production with writing techniques such as narrative and screenplay to reinforce teaching of reading and writing in an interactive, creative and authentic way.

the project focused on the literature as main instrument of impact with incontestable potential. Nevertheless, this project was not about teaching literature. It was about learning and personal development through literature.

(what to do, what teaching techniques and approaches teachers can use to perform a meaningful competence-based education)
