  • Investigate how to foster talent development by implementing strategies to enhance creativity, innovation, and critical thinking skills, nurturing talents in specific domains, promoting a growth mindset and resilience, and effectively differentiating instruction for gifted learners, through a variety of interactive activities, practical exercises, and examples that demonstrate the application of these strategies in the classroom.

I Partenariati su piccola scala sono progetti di cooperazione tra scuole e organizzazioni di Paesi partecipanti al Programma, attive nel settore dell’istruzione scolastica, nuove a Erasmus+ o con poca esperienza e capacità organizzative: sono progetti di durata più breve e requisiti amministrativi più semplici se comparate ai Partenariati di cooperazione e importi di sovvenzione ridotti e su base forfettaria, in modo da facilitare la gestione del progetto e ridurre le barriere di accesso al Programma. 

In vista della scadenza del 4 ottobre 2023, lo staff dell’Agenzia nazionale Erasmus+ Indire presenterà in dettaglio 

  • l’Azione Partenariati su piccola scala
  • le procedure da seguire per presentare la candidatura per un progetto di qualità

eTwinning Multilateral Seminar “Across the same ancient sea: our shared Mediterranean roots”

Scadenza candidatura: 06/09/2023

Dal 26 al 28 ottobre sarà la suggestiva cornice della città di Palermo ad accogliere un nuovo seminario di formazione che vedrà coinvolti docenti di 9 paesi della community eTwinning (Albania, Bulgaria, Cipro, Francia, Giordania, Italia, Libano, Malta, Tunisia) sul tema “Across the same ancient sea: our shared Mediterranean roots”, per trovare nuovi punti di contatto e creare nuovi progetti collaborativi a distanza nell’anno scolastico 2023/2024.

Saranno tre giorni in cui sarà possibile tessere nuove e proficue relazioni per i docenti che saranno selezionati a partecipare.

Il minimo comune denominatore, l’appartenenza a una cultura mediterraneacomune e dalle radici antiche, ha fatto ricadere la scelta della location naturalmente su Palermo, storicamente crocevia tra oriente e occidente.  

Saranno 65 i docenti chiamati a immaginare insieme, attraverso la progettazione eTwinning, come valorizzare in maniera collaborativa la grande varietà che caratterizza le culture mediterranee e a metterne in luce le espressioni culturali attraverso musica, danza, cibo, mitologia, letteratura potenziate dall’uso delle TIC.  

Di seguito maggiori dettagli sull’evento e il link per candidarsi: 

  • Tema: Across the same ancient sea: our shared Mediterranean roots 
  • Luogo e date: Palermo, 26-28 ottobre 2023 
  • Paesi partecipanti: Albania, Bulgaria, Cipro, Francia, Giordania, Italia, Libano, Malta, Tunisia 
  • Lingua di lavoro: inglese

  • Posti disponibili per l’Italia: 20  

Ai docenti selezionati viene richiesta: la disponibilità alla realizzazione di progetti eTwinning con una o più scuole partner incontrate durante l’evento eTwinning e di impegnarsi nel proprio istituto a disseminare quanto appreso durante la formazione.
