Describe the results achieved by your project How do you measure (parameters) these. (max. 2000 characters):
The project got excellent results in terms of students' engagement and motivation. All of them contributed to the common website, browsed the partners' materials, took the tests and quizzes prepared by the different teams, did further research to introduce their countries or get to know better those of the others. Students with special needs, migrants, natives, students coming from disadvantaged social situations, brilliant students... all of them found their way to give a significant contribution. Immigrants were particularly excited, as for once they had something more to say than the others, as they got a different perspective on their two countries (the one they came from, the one they live now). Different intelligences were cared for as the students could choose their media of expression (not only words but also visuals, music, etc). The project got excellent results also in terms of students' attainment in the national tests. In my involved class, all of the 27 students passed the standard Geography tests with good grades. The criteria of evaluation are chosen by the Geography Department and take into consideration the improving of the pupil's situation from the start to the end of the school year, the use of the specific language, the competence in orientation, the proper use of ICT, the understanding of the realation between a territory and its population/history. Another important result of our project is the website itself: it is a valuable collection of information prepared by kids for kids. It is website that all schools, everywhere in the world, could use for free as a database of teaching material for many subjects (geography, music, art, history...).
How many users interact with your project monthly and what are the preferred forms of interaction? (max. 500 characters):
21 schools are involved in the project, and we can estimate an average of 1000 students being involved monthly with the project (either working on the website or exploring it). Plus, their families, their schools and their local communities are involved and regularly take part in the dissemination events. So a huge number of people contributes to the success of the project - either by being an actor (students, teachers) or part of the audience (families, municipalities...).
