Exchange of Good Practices – 01/09/2020 a 31/08/2022
IMPROVING STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION – GOOGLE TOOLS AND MOBILE APPS
The project was developed in response to two specific needs found at school level concerning the need to improve the motivation of students and ultimately their school results and the need to promote intercultural interaction between people from different countries and backgrounds in a European context that is now facing major challenges.
The purpose of this project, therefore, consists of two seemingly distinct ways. In the one hand, by making them use the computer in their analysis, we want to get students more interested in their own learning, thus enhancing their results and efficiency. We want them, on the other hand, to understand what it means to be European, to introduce them to various ways of thought, principles and beliefs.

AIM: improve the motivation, engagement and achievements of the students and encourage intercultural dialogue.
Our objectives are as follows:
1. to engage students in their own learning in order to obtain better outcomes and be inspired (by raising their school performance at least 40% of the target group);
2. to enhance the crosswise potential of students–digitalization, computer literacy, analytical and creative thinking, personal and social skills; (at least 30% of students strengthen this skill);
3. establish intercultural understanding and acceptance; (a minimum of 60% of students will have increased understanding of other cultures);
4. improve English communication skills (participants increase English communication skills);
5. Fostering European concepts and improving European citizens ‘ unity. (observable, as seen in post-LTTA discussions, by analyzing student and teacher attitudes to other cultures).
