Project Description

Description Frase (max. 500 characters): 

With this project we will try to find some solutions for the children affected by the maternal absence or the children who do not enjoy their mothers’ presence enough.

Project Summary (max. 2000 characters): 

Motto: “Some time ago I used to draw like an adult. But it took me my whole life to be able to draw like a child….”
We all know that ‘Mother’ is the most important person in the world for every child. But what happens in children’s hearts when their mothers have to go to work in another country and they are left with their grandparents? What about the situation when a mother abandons her children and the little ones are raised by foster parents, or the situation when the family is falling apart, and the children do not really know what parent to choose to live with.
There is a powerful relationship between each child and his/ her mother. A mother always knows her child’s pain and what he/ she thinks in different situations. A mother gives life to her child, loves him/ her unconditionally, takes care of him/her, forgives the child if he/she has done something wrong. The mothers’ involvement in the extracurricular activities of their children changed the kids’ behaviour. The mothers’ behaviour also changed as they realized that it is very important for a mother to spend active time with her child.
This project was a wonderful opportunity for the children, their parents and the teachers to interact, to know each other better, to discover and to improve the children’s skills.

Objectives and Innovative Aspects

This project aimed to show how they can involve families (mother, father and grandparents) in the school life of children in different schools in different countries. Show that there are different realities but there are also points that intersect. Grandparents who sometimes replace the mothers, fathers who are separated, broken families that the school sometimes helps integrate. The project brought the family to school in all institutions and was very good to note that the oldest had here an important role in the knowledge they transmitted to younger valuing the role of families. Mothers, fathers and grandparents taught their students games of his childhood, shared life stories enriching and enhancing the knowledge across generations.

The biggest impact of the project was related to the full involvement of families in school life and the promotion and enhancement of the wisdom of generations. Also noteworthy that the children realize the importance that the family represents also to colleagues from other countries, their similarities and differences making them aware of their membership status to a European community where they speak different languages but where everyone in some form can communicate. All the partners cooperated in order to create an e-book of traditional games from every country. Mothers relived their childhood, and the pupils learned interesting games. The children and their mothers participated in theme shows, exhibitions and creative workshops and the relationship between them was great.
