Taking a Learning Journey on the STEAM Train

a KA 229 Erasmus+ strategic partnership

About Our Project image

Social inclusion is a priority for Europe so our Project is related to the 2017 European Pillar of Social Rights.
It promotes inclusiveness, diversity, equality, gender balance, non-discrimination, tolerance through education, as the strategic framework in Education and Training 2020.
Regarding making lifelong learning and mobility a reality. Improving the quality and efficiency of education and training. Promoting equity, active citizenship and enhancing creativity/innovation, entrepreneurship, at all levels. Our children have a variety of social and educational backgrounds. They face obstacles of communicating effectively in the language of the
country they live in. Student wellbeing is a priority for us. The need to be more inclusive is a concern and motivation to prevent leaving school early so we decided that the best is an exchange of good practices, as all 6 schools face the same problem: social inclusion.
All 6 partner schools have a need for educational intervention to keep up to date with the latest methods and best practice in European Education and social inclusion through digitalization, game based learning, robotics, integrated science, arts and mathematics with digital devices (STEAM). The Project will create a European dimension and promote global citizenship. Over 2 years, we will share the good practice in order to improve the quality, continuous training of teaching staff by organizing 2 short term joint staff training events. The 2 short-term exchanges of groups of pupils will ensure a better language competence and ICT competencies. They will gain socio-cultural knowledge of the partner countries and become more confident, resilient global learners. Our project will be inclusive to all ages, ability, and gender including children with disadvantaged backgrounds and/or special needs. We will aim to better language fluency, particularly in English

Coordinator

Boskenwyn Primary School is a small, village school near Helston in Cornwall. We have 85 pupils from age 4 to 11 years old. We have a unique, inquiry based learning approach to the National Curriculum for England which includes forest school, phenomena based learning, growth mindset and mixed age learning. We are a local authority maintained school and federated with Germoe Primary school in Gweek, Helston, Cornwall. We have a shared headteacher, 2 deputy headteachers, 1 full time special needs teacher and 6 classteachers, each class has at least one general learning support assistant and other learning mentors for individual children with specific needs, we also have a nurture group. Our percentage of children with special educational needs is 53% which is way above the national average. We have children from a variety of backgrounds and experiences; travellers, children in care, immigrants, forces children. The percentage of children from low income backgrounds receiving pupil premium funding is also above national average. We are interested in this project both because we feel we can add a lot to the group from our previous projects in Denmark, Norway and Finland and also because we feel we could learn so much from our new partners. Technology involving STEM is forefront in educating our children to become 21st century global citizens and it is vital for them to gain skills in problem solving, critical thinking, independence and interdependence so they can be prepared for their future in jobs and careers which may not have been invented yet. The staff are keen and enthusiastic and willing to learn new pedagogy and learning approaches to enable them to improve their practice. The headteacher will lead the project and the 2 deputy headteachers will be involved at every stage and will continue to lead the project if the headteacher leaves. Our maths and science teachers attend regular updates with the Cornwall Maths and Science hubs and the headteacher is a director of the Cornwall Association for Primary Headteachers. We have a good reputation in the learning community for our unique approach to the curriculum.

Every person who lives in the 21st Century we are in must have skills. With the development of technology, the amount of information we need to possess has also increased. 7-70'e people of all ages are using technology in life. At this point, there is a question like this: Are we able to use technology properly and correctly? It is necessary for the children to be guided and set an example for the right purpose of using the new grown-up technology. In the developing world, we are expecting a generation of people who produce their own games, animations, activities and professions by considering the future of the human profile that produces, not consuming. Children need to be conscious, thinkable, problem-solving, computer-literate individuals to prepare for this age.
