Description
The aim of Supporting Active Citizenship project is to modernize the school curricula by implementing systematic support of democratic values and active citizenship. Elementary school and kindergarten ANGEL in Prague 12, Czech Republic, and Rosvik Skole, Norway, are going to cooperate on the development of the curricula. Focusing on active citizenship and democratic values is essential in the rapidly changing world where the liberal democracy values are relativized.
Summary of project results
Summary of bilateral results
The Norwegian partner, Røsvik Skole, contributed substantially to the quality of all three intellectual outputs. Their precious know-how of coming from a rural, community school located in beautiful Norwegian nature added a new dimension to the assembled best-practice examples, as well as projects aimed at active citizenship. Thanks to their input the activities implement aspects of harmony with nature, survival skills, development of students’ self-organization, etc. The collaboration with the coordinating institution, a large elementary school from Prague, has ensured varied and universal outcomes. Both partners collaborated on all three intellectual outputs. In the first outcome – Modernized Curriculum ANGEL – the Czech school proposed projects to enrich their curriculum and the Norwegian partner provided feedback notes and consultations to achieve the best result possible. During the work on the second outcome, Modernized Curriculum Røsvik Skole, the Norwegian partner created projects to enrich their curriculum and ANGEL school provided feedback which was then used to finalize the output. The third intellectual output, Best Practice Examples, is the result of shared collaboration where each of the partners contributed with eight activities which they had already been using to support students’ active citizenship. As a result, the whole outcome includes sixteen best practice examples. Currently there are no specific plans to continue the bilateral collaboration.
