Participants in the project
The main participants in the project will be the children and their teachers. Children as a subject of learning and teachers as mentors, friends who guide and support planning. A parent-child relationship will be based on friendship and trust. The pedagogue will encourage, plan, motivate and organize children, and they will be the main interactive players in lessons and activities. Parents will be an important part of this line - all their activities, especially those in the open, will be realized. Very important is the support of local authorities and the media that will make it create a positive attitude in the community. Important for this project are museum workers, environmentalists, historians, university lecturers, social workers, ethnographers and others who could help activities so they are more interesting, useful, attractive, entertaining and challenging. The main role of teachers will be to plan, motivate and shake the children for all activities. Interactive lessons and outdoor lessons will be primarily their concern as organizing and planning pedagogical goals and tasks to improve skills and competencies. Children will be the main actor who will give him the freedom to seek and discover, create, give ideas, and plan (as an element of very basic social entrepreneurship). They will learn to meet the challenges and deal with them. Experience will help them cope better with learning materials and with the difficulties in life. Qualities such as trust, self-confidence, teamwork, respect and tolerance are the foundation of good social competencies. Parents will be supported, encouraged, motivated, committed to their knowledge, intelligence and experience in various activities. Local authorities and the media will reflect the activities, thus creating an interest in the topic in the regional communities. Modular field specialists will be important with their competence and ability to better communicate their children's knowledge. Interaction of all will create a worried regional community and common products - a European family working for the benefit of children.
The participating children in the project are aged between 5 and 9 (kindergarten and elementary school). There are also scheduled on-line meetings during which they communicate and present themselves directly. Each partner will include additional hours with part of the planned activities attended by all students. Kindergartens will include the largest primary schools aged 5-7 for children aged 6 to 8.
