Tell me your fairy tale!
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project which is planned by us will be an opportunity to discover a bit forgotten, in our point of view, the world of fairy tales. We firmly believe in the sense of technological progress but we want to protect some important things against destruction, creating some kind of compromise. Nowadays children are imbued with popular culture and it’s difficult to get them to read or listen to the stories with the pleasure. We want to show them that the world of fairy tales can be combined with modern technologies. The youngest recipients of the project are three years old children and the oldest - teenage students. We are going to show that the topic of fairy tales may connect students of all ages and backgrounds. We’re going to do this by creating attractive methods of education, based on the number of multimedia aids. Thanks that we’ll provide access to new technologies for all pupils, regardless of the economic situation or origin. Participation in the project will also help equalize chances of the students and give all an opportunity to learn about other cultures and found friendships outside the country, which may lead to cooperation in the future. In this way we can also improve their language abilities. Through our activities we want to encourage our teams of teachers to self-improvement, to introduce innovative teaching methods and to cooperate with the local community. The project is going to be attended by six partner countries: Poland (as a coordinator), Italy, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the United Kingdom and Greece. All organizations are primary schools with the exception of Bulgaria, which is kindergarten. Poland, which belongs to the School Complex is going to have in their composition kindergarten in September 2015. Our actions are going to be based primarily on the exchange of experiences in order to provide the highest level of education. The first crucial action is going to be an introducing with partners by organization of thematic days in each school. Every school for one day will change the decoration, including the possibility of preparing some special clothes by the students and teachers. From the beginning, we will take care of the effective promotion of our activities by maintaining websites and newsletters in the school which will cover current events. We are going to conduct regular correspondence between our students by the form of traditional letters, e-mails and video calls over by the Internet. We would like to arrange six meetings with partner countries to be able to get to know our schools, to see how the lessons look like in practice and to inspire from the solutions applied in the functioning of the school. From experience from previous projects we know that such visits provide many ideas which are implemented later. One of the main effects of our actions will be creating a teaching guide describing the methods of working with fairy tales during the lessons. We want to compile a book with a collection of fairy tales from our countries, as well as a publication with some stories created by ourselves. The great attraction for younger children will be exchanging a puppet and experiencing various adventures. We’re going to prepare some performances based on chosen fairy tales. We want to raise our skills by organise training course with therapy by fairy tales prepared by ourselves. The topic of fairy tales will be an opportunity for us to organization numerous art competitions, for the preparation of games and to set up their reading marathons. The final popularized event will be a Fairytale Festival, which will provide plenty of activities and the presentation of the results of our work for the local community. We are confident that thanks to our project the topic of fairy tales will remain for the long time in our schools. This will happen through the creation of teaching guide, as well as many other publications and multimedia supports and the products of children’s works. The completed actions will activate the sphere of student’s family , as well as the local community. Perhaps we can encourage other schools to participate in such a project, showing them how many benefits we have experienced, while having fun. Perhaps we will protect our children from the harmful effects of commercialized cartoons and computer games.
