Parents, members of the French staff, some other teachers not involved in the project e.g. for buffet at show evening

Social aspect

Pupils had fun with each other and became friends. They had to cooperate e.g. in bowling teams, workshops or presentations and could learn from their partners. The English language was improved and the confidence to use it at school and in private life increased. Team presentations fostered the feeling of responsibility for the international team.

Culture

Pupils got more information about the French culture.

They realized similarities and differences between the participants from different countries and therefore created a European identity without losing their national feeling.

Migratrion

Pupils realized common European experiences in migration by comparing the national statistical results of the street interviews, by making a common timeline and by creating migration maps to find similarities and differences between the individual countries.

Pupils visited cities that are popular tourist destinations nowadays due to former migration movements.

IT Knowledge

Pupils improved their knowledge in Excel usage for pie chart creation; they got to know new IT programmes for timeline creation (Timetoast) and map creation (Mapchart) which they can use for other presentations in different subjects at school.
