V Barceloni Erasmus

The first mobility in the Erasmus + Project with the title My, Our and European Heartbeat being carried out at Primary School Kajetana Koviča Radenci was successfully completed.

As the English teacher, I took part in the Erasmus + funded course provided by Euromentor in Barcelona http://euromentor.es/, Spain. The course took place from 6th November to 10th November 2023.

One of the aims in the school project is enhancing teachers’ knowledge, capability of using ICT successfully in the classroom and recognizing the importance of using ICT in the classroom. The main topics covered introduction to ICT tools, creating content and the searching for possibilities of use in the lessons. The tools were introduced, discussed within the group of participants and later new content was created and presented.

The extra added value of the course for sure was the practical part of the course where the participants first took part in the lesson from the learners’ point of view, then learnt how to create a lesson and lastly presented the lesson to other participants. The highlight of the course was the visit to one of the schools in the neighbourhoods of Barcelona. More about the school at https://agora.xtec.cat/ceip-jruyra-l-h/

The teachers – visitors were invited to actively participate in the class teaching the content that the teachers of the school have prepared. We also had the opportunity for networking, to talk to various teachers and the headmaster, compare schools, curriculums, schools’ activities, …

I highly recommend taking part in the Erasmus + Projects because this is the unique opportunity to learn new content, revise the content you already know, get to know teachers from all over Europe, share ideas and grow, not just professionally but personally as well.
