Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, or research. For us, as teachers, our daily work involves institutionalized teaching and learning in relation to a curriculum but we can’t forget that any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational. It’s here where our Erasmus+ project fits, preparing students for life as active citizens.


This is the blog specially created for the ERASMUS+ project called It's my life, it's my choice Here there are the 5 EUROPEAN schools working together in this challenger adventure:

1- The Coordinating school: LAUDIO BHI from Laudio (SPAIN)
2.- GROTIUSCOLLEGE, Delft (The Netherlands)
3.- NORGARDENSKOLAN, Uddevalla (Sweden)
4.- CELALETTIN TOPCU ANADOLU LISESI, Çanakkale (Turkey)
5.- LYCEE AORAI, Pirae (French Polynesia)

PARTNER SCHOOLS INFO + ASSOCIATED PARTNERS


In all the countries we are going to involve local associated institutions that will help us in the
development of our partnership. Their role in the project will be organizing workshops for teachers,
parents and students to help us achieving the objectives of our partnership. They will be an important
 part during the mobilities to the different countries. They are experts in the different fields we want to
work on. For example "Sasoia" from Spain, P.R.A.T Delft from Holland and " Uddevalla socia
l services" from Sweden that work in the field of health (Tobacco, alcohol,...) "Ekoizpen" from Spain
 and "Gröna gårdar" from Sweden, their expertise area is about healthy food (Organic food, seasonal
 food, local products,...) "Bubisher" from Spain, it is an NGO that works with immigrants and refugees .
SCSHSS Service ( Specialized Consultations Health and School Health ) Centre of Mother and Child
 in PIRAE . This service priority is Education for Health ( Ottawa Charter ) . CCSTAC ( Center
Specialized on Consultations Alcohol and Addiction )from French Polynesia,... We think that the
involvement of these organizations in our project will contribute to organize the work around the
project in a more innovative way that will motivate students, parents and teachers to take a more
active role in our project.

Our school

logotipo-IES-Llodio.jpg
laudiokoinstitutua.jpg
The history of our secondary school starts in 1953 being the first school in Laudio which offered official secondary education. Laudio is an important industrial center located 50 km from the capital. During the second half of the 20th century the trend was for people to move from rural areas into towns to both live and work as industry was set up and expanded. Many workers came from other parts of the state and Laudio became the most important industrial and commercial town in the area. Nowadays the area is undergoing the consequences of the international economic crisis with an increasing unemployment rate.The identity of the school is based on the following principles and objectives: Respect, freedom, autonomy and individual responsibility, autonomy and human rights, education in and for the peace, solidarity and cooperation, whole development of the person, culture and learning, relationships and learning in Basque, the minority language spoken in our community, health and hygiene.Our school is the only public secondary school in the town with 87 teachers and 691 pupils. Students of all levels of capability attend our school. We provide those with special educational needs with support so that they can progress through the school and achieve success. At this moment teaching of adapted curriculum applies to 51 students at different levels. This school year 31 immigrant pupils from different countries are supported to acquire the Basque language and to allow them to make a successful transition into our curriculum.The canteen and the school transport are some of the services the students' families can count on: 157 pupils have lunch at school. Those families with lower income can apply for a grant, being at this moment 203 students who have applied for it.
In the last 12 years our school has been involved in different European projects such as Comenius or Leonardo, been the coordinators of the last two Comenius projects, from years 2009-2011 and 2011-2013. The last one, called HUGES, has been awarded by the Spanish National Agency as the best one in Spain and has also been selected as “Star project” in the EST " European Shared Treasure".
This recognition gives us even more strength to face the new challenges of the new Erasmus + framework.

 Aorai High School is located in the town of Pirae, only a few kilometers away from Papeete, the capital city of French Polynesia. Our school used to be part of the largest and oldest High school in Polynesia, Taaone High School which was divided in two in 2008. Aorai High School, Taaone High School as well as Taaone Junior High are located on the same vast area (30 000m2), all three all them providing education for 4000 pupils from 11 to 21 years old, coming from all over Polynesia, some of them from distant islands like the Marquesas ( three to four-hour flight). About 350 of those pupils stay, during the week, at the boarding school which is located in-between both high schools. Most of them go back home only twice a year, at Christmas time and at the end of the school year (July).
 1200 of those pupils ( 15 to 21 years old) are attending today, Aorai High School, mostly girls due to a specific educational offer ranging from general to technical education as well as vocational training ( secretary / sales assistant).

 The main goal of our partnership is to make our students aware of the importance of having a healthy lifestyle, to get them responsible and involved in their lives "a healthy mind and a healthy body ".
 With this project we want to make our students think on their behavior, the food they eat, their health, their sports practices and their relationships, while taking advantage of new technologies and using English to communicate with our partners .
 Creativity, solving problems, taking decisions, critical thinking and analytical reasoning skills will be on which we will focus on. We will also ensure our students’ development of social skills such as citizenship, social responsibility, cultural awareness, fight against stereotypes and social networking.
 To achieve this goal, we will work with our partners on the three themes of our project: balanced nutrition, health, and relationships to others. “It is my life, it is my choice."
