Second Meeting

Getting Ready for European Citizenship On Line

The Project

Presentation of the Project


The aim of this project is to build solutions for the integration of adult citizens of the
EU in 21st century. Euroscepticism , European citizenship, using digital tools, identity,
cultural diversity, integration, economy, history, multicultural, plural, open-minded
are the key concepts that will be addressed during the three years.
To achieve this aim we will work through cooperation and partnership among
countries using digital tools.

Grecol Project Erasmus+ 2014-1-ES01-KA204-00476

We will design and develop an online course called Getting Ready for European
Citizenship on-line (GRECOL) which is inspired by a previous Grundtvig partnership
project called Digital Classroom. During the project we observed, in adult learners
across this Grundtvig partnership a notable lack of European identity and a lack of
awareness of the wide range of European resources available to facilitate their
mobility and develop their sense of shared citizenship.
Once this new partnership was created with the participation of 7 adult organizations
from ES, GE, LV, IT, TR, UK, DK countries with diverse backgrounds but with common
motivations for changing adult education in EU, we started to develop the project.
European citizenship implies a closer, more emotional relationship that is rooted in
shared values, the celebration of diversity, and respect of different identities and the
protection of national heritages.
The proposed new course, comprised of 5 modules detailed below, may be offered in
online and blended-learning formats. In addition, the 5 modules may be
independently utilized as stand-alone materials or integrated into other courses
according to the individual needs of each educational context.
The structure of the subject Getting Ready for European citizenship (GRECOL) will
be:
1. M1.Developing a European identity
2. M2. European institutions and their functions
3. M3.European mobility
4. M4. Dealing with cultural diversity
5. M5. Final Project

The Project

Methodology and Final Product

The final product will be an OER material ready for be using for any adult institution
around Europe. During the third year of the project impact and dissemination will be
the main goal by sharing GRECOL as much as possible al local, national and
international level in platforms, congress, papers. And of course, using GRECOL as a
course, curricula, module or workshop in each one of the partnership' organizations
during the following years.
At the end of the project we hope to offer some solutions for the integration of adult
citizens in Europe to become e-citizens. Getting involved in joint projects as well as
increased mobility helps to develop this feeling of belonging. (For and active European
citizenship, White Paper 2011).

The methodology of the course is based on a model that develops its activities through
the web and on the web. The students become the center of the model and the
process of learning. The model is aware of the nature of the potential students. The
general features of e-activities are diversity, openness and flexibility and they contain
discussions, tasks, quizzes, surveys, and a final project using a varied range of digital
tools.

The Partnership

The IOC , which is the coordinating organisation in this project, was born in 2006
from three existing initiatives on distance learning managed by the Ministry of
Education of Catalonia:
The ICESD Institut Catal dEnsenyament Secundari a Distncia ( Compulsory and
secondary education distance learning)
Palau de Mar GES ( compulsory adult distance learning)
FP oberta (vocational training distance learning)
Nowadays, IOC is the institution of reference in Catalonia which reaches anyone who
wants to learn anywhere and anytime:
integrating all kinds of learning into only one institution.
promoting the offer of new formative activities and new learning demanded by our
society
public school of reference as a new and singular e-learning project
funding by the Educational Department of Catalonia and by the public registration
fees
Most of the students are adults (over 20) with other occupations and responsibilities
A small number are teenagers in special conditions (sportsmen, musicians, physically
handicapped people, students living abroad, situations of social deprivation)
The IOC has 3% of students from Catalonia
In vocational training, the number of students from all Catalonia is higher (7%)
FORMAL EDUCATION
Compulsory education: GES Graduate of secondary education (1st and 2on cycle),
8250 students.
Non-compulsory education:Bachillerat (Upper Secondary School), 2400 students.
VET Vocationaltraining (Middle and higher degree) 12300 students.
School of languages 4900 students.
NON-FORMAL EDUCATION
Courses of preparation for entrance examinations: CFGM (Middle degree vocational
training),
CFGS (Higher degree vocational training), University
Other (Cisco)
A team of 110 teachers (full time) and 485 assistant teachers (part time) in

North East Scotland College


Aberdeen
United Kingdom
North East Scotland College is one the largest further education college in Scotland
with an annual learner enrolment of over 30,000 students. The College covers a very
wide area of the north-east of Scotland and plays an important part in many local
communities.
The College is recognised by the Scottish Further Education Unit and Education
Scotland for the quality and excellence of its teaching and student achievement rates.
The College operates across three major teaching areas: Engineering Science and
Technology, Creative Industries Computing and Business Enterprise, and Service
Industries.
Many of our learners come from economically deprived backgrounds receiving
financial support through bursaries, Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) and
the Scottish Award Agency for Scotland (SAAS).
The College supports people from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds including
areas of social deprivation. Furthermore, the College assists those who may have a
range of additional learning needs including those with identified mental health
problems, perhaps those with addiction problems, immigrants and refugees to study
for their chosen career by building up through individual personal learning plans their
social and academic skills.
Throughout social science programmes and the cross college delivery of essential
skills there is a strong commitment to interculturalism and active learning as effective
methodologies for embedding critical citizenship and equality and diversity in the
curriculum. Citizenship studies and student projects using various digital tools,
including, learning journals, blogs, use of VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) are an
important element in our non-advanced and advanced programmes at North East
Scotland College . Many aspects of citizenship including, respect, tolerance,
participation, volunteering, social enterprise, social integration and social justice are
covered in social science programmes and through servicing core skill communication
to various and different curriculum areas of the College.
With Scotlands long historical association with Europe and an impending referendum
on independence and the potential breakup of the UK and recently the UK
government's decision to have a referendum on UK's membership in the EU, the
whole notion of national and European citizenship is an important subject for
learners in Scotland and beyond.

doctor, home work, call listening ect. In the various sites of our Third Age
Universities each year meetings and events are organized with senior . There are
various topics, ICT courses, language courses.which have as their main objective
the social inclusion of the elders, avoiding their isolation
The problem of social exclusion is one of the main one to be tackle with a strong
impact on the social awareness and activities concerning education. The
economical crisis has increased those secluding attitudes, enhancing the
individualism and decreasing the governmental welfare support for senior people.

Pdagogische Hochschule Freiburg


Freiburg
Germany
The University of Education, Freiburg (Pdagogische Hochschule Freiburg; PH Fr) specialises in
teacher training for primary and secondary levels. A variety of other Bachelor and Masters
courses is also available. These include for example a Masters degree in Bilingual Teaching and
Learning (Europalehramt) and in Teaching German as a Foreign Language. Suitably qualified
students may study for doctoral and postdoctoral degrees. Various PhD programmes and a
large number of other (European) research projects promote a wide range of young
researchers. Accordingly the PH Fr conducts varied educational research.
PH Fr has around 300 staff members and approximately 5.000 students. It was founded in 1962
and gained university status in 1971.
Among the Courses offered at the PH Fr are teacher training for primary and lower secondary
schools, European Teacher Training for primary and lower secondary schools, teacher training
for Vocational Schools (media technology, business etc.), Bachelor of Arts in Health Education
or German as a second language, Master of Arts in Educational Science or Psychology of
Education.
In addition to that there is general focus on adult education.
All degree programmes at the University of Education Freiburg are in revision (reaccreditation), including teaching degrees, which are reformed according to Bologna structures.
Orientation on science and methods will be strengthened and the courses will include more
international references. Acknowledging a unified Europe and globalisation, teachers
particularly need to develop a stronger cosmopolitan, diversity and science-oriented attitude.
In its plan on development and structure (2011-2016), the University of Education Freiburg has
put into writing among others the following strategies:
- Promoting young researchers: High-level educational research combined with systematic,
structured promotion of young researchers is denoted as a long-term goal
- Developing degree programmes and university teaching: Science oriented teacher education
is central to university courses in Freiburg. Teaching degree programmes are focused on
primary level to lower secondary level and are being extended to upper secondary level (e.g.
degrees in technical subjects for vocational schools, as Joint Programmes in co-operation with
the University of Applied Sciences Offenburg). In addition, teacher education for upper
secondary will be further extended at the University of Education Freiburg, particularly in cooperation with the Excellence Universities of Konstanz and Freiburg.
- Enhancing scientific professional development: The University of Education Freiburg should
play a major role as a partner for teacher professionalization in the second phase (postgraduate
teacher training) and the third phase (in-service teacher education). In addition, it should
become a relevant source for consultancy and research in educational fields of application, and
create demand for in-service teacher education courses (e.g. quality representatives in
schools).
The University of Education has steadily expanded the professional development programmes:
All master degree programmes can also be completed as professional development courses. To
promote co-operation with the local and regional school administration in developing and
conducting teacher education programmes a contract with the Regional Council of Freiburg has
been signed in 2010.
Further, PHFR has already participated in a high number of research and development projects
at national and international levels as coordinator and partner. Therefore, it can rely on many
years of experience and highly qualified staff when it comes to EU projects for example in the
Programme for Lifelong Learning, TEMPUS and the Research Framework Programme.
In addition, PHFR actively supports the goals of European integration in the education sector
and lay the focus on internationalization strategy. The university cooperates with a multitude of
partner universities around the globe and wishes to strengthen and extend its ties with both
European and non-European institutions.

incomes. In the same time some of our students are very famous Latvian celebrities:
actors, singers, writers, dancers and sportsmen (persons who cannot study in normal
day school because of their active career life).
Students are taught by 41 teacher. Schools teacher team is very positive,
enthusiastic and hard working.
School realizes inclusive programs. Priorities of inclusive programs are:

get international experience and it is opportunity to deepen understanding of EU
society, culture, and institutions and to strengthen curricula and to improve the
quality of teaching about the Europe.

project is unique possibility to learn from more experienced partners how to work
with digital tools with adult students and to exchange of our beginner's practice
experience in e-learning environments.

Getting Ready for European Citizenship On Line

Work Done

The intention of carried out activities up to now seeks to develop the feeling of European
identity, based on common values, history and culture, as well as to improve tolerance and
mutual understanding among European citizens and to contribute to the intercultural
dialogue.
Everything that the project has designed in its initial phase and the activities established in
the phase GRECOL1 were fulfilled: general outline of the project, plan of work, distribution
of tasks, development of modules M1 and M2. Creation of contents on European identity
and European institutions. Creation of learning activities in line with the contents. Analysis
and selection of the on-line tools for the implementation of the course.
IOC that is responsible for M1 has started to introduce in high school classes some of the
activities that have been designed for testing them to assure that the work done can be

successfully used in the class.


We should mention that the module about European identity was a topic of great discussion
in Barcelona meeting. We shared securities but also different perspectives and forms of
approaching the contents and the activities. Anyway discussion was fruitful and we expect
that the didactic offer will allow not only to approach the thematic of the identity in an
appropriate way in the organizations of the partnership but also in any organization
interested in the thematic.
AC - UK worked with the tools Xerte and eXeLearning using contents of M1. Both tools
produce similar results. They were presented and illustrated in the last meeting in Freiburg
and further steps will follow.
VUC - DK has facilitated and oriented the videoconference system that we plan to continue
using in the following phases of the project and even in the final phase of exploitation.
Phases GRECOL2 and GRECOL3 for the next two years are expected to be developed without
difficulties following the working plan designed in the initial application of the project.
