Project Summary
Our project is to contribute to strengthening the European dimension of education by
promoting cooperative activities between schools from different countries in North, South
and Central Europe.
It is the main target of our project to explore the expectations of young EU citizens
concerning their prospects and future opportunities within the European Community. To
start with, the participating youths will make themselves familiar with each others current
situation, educational systems and cultures. It is the educational intention to display to the
youngsters from so many different European nations a wide range of positive prospects in
spite of the currently difficult social and economic situation in their home countries.
We will look into the present-day youth in the partner countries involved, i. e. their values
and ideals, their hopes and fears both as individuals and as a generation; particular interest
will be put on special needs students. One of the aims is to understand how they see
themselves and their commitment and responsibility as both national and European citizens.
By contrasting their self-perception with the ones of their peers, youths will become more
aware of what they have in common and thereby unites them. The project team members
believe that this is indispensable for building a common ground from which to move on and
eventually build a Europe of enthusiastic and politically committed citizens.
Students as well as teachers will, of course, improve their language and ICT skills within the
project work. Project communication will be in English and, besides the available
mobilities, we will use modern media to communicate face-to-face as much as possible.
Social competence will be fostered by working in foreign groups; this should make prejudice
(should there be any) collapse and preconceptions break down. Students will learn to create
and to evaluate questionnaires and to implement different forms of (re)presentation
(booklets, e-books, e-twinning page, exhibitions, etc). They will also be dealing with their
professional future: they will describe dream jobs and, in this context, find out about their
training possibilities. They will gather information on enterprises and universities in their
national environment and exchange it. Necessarily, we will also be looking into economic
aspects such as youth unemployment. Finally, it could be exciting to combine social aspects
with creativity and present some of the results in the form of a musical, an exhibition or by
means of street art.
The staff, too, will get to know much more about the EU and the partner countries. We want
to exchange working methods and work examples which are apt to be taken over into daily
school life.
The intended focus of our project should make aware the role of the EU in the life of young
Europeans, illustrating to them the prospects and possibilities which the EU offers to them.

Feldkirchen in Krnten









Feldkirchen is situated in the middle of Carinthia (Krnten). Carinthia is the most southern
province of Austria.
Feldkirchen is quite a small town with about 14.000 inhabitants. One of the most
outstanding buildings is the Bamberger Amthof. It is a very old building and today it is a
cultural centre there are lots of interesting concerts and exhibitions. It also houses a small

You can do nearly all kinds of sports around
Feldkirchen.
Wintersports can be done in different skiing
regions which can be reached within half an
hour. Our pupils have a skiing course for one
week in the second form.
Hiking in the mountains is popular especially
in autumn.
For doing summer sports like swimming,
sailing, surfing or very trendy the previous
summer stand up paddling - there are
beautiful lakes nearby.




The NMS Feldkirchen
In our school there are pupils from the age of 10 to 14. It is a New Middle School and has
an emphasis on music, that means students in the music classes are offered a wide range of
musical training. We have got a school choir, the pupils learn how to play instruments and
they can be members of the school band.
Students who are not so gifted in
music can also put their focus on
either a second foreign language
beside English (which is Italian in
our school) or Information
Technology where they learn how
to work on the computer and using
different kinds of software.
Furthermore they have the
possibility to do the European
Computer Driving Licence.
In some of our classes there are students with special needs. These students are integrated
in most activities that we do at school if possible.

Germany - Gymnasium Lneburger Heide (GLH)
The GLH is a private grammar school close to Luneburg in the
metropolitan region Hamburg, which is situated in the north of
Germany. More than 70000 people are living in Luneburg. The
historical Hanseatic City is affected by the university with its
students.









8

At GLH every pupil knows each
other very well, because of the
familiar atmosphere. 280
students (classes 5 to 12) and 31
teachers are part of the GLH.
There are two classes in every
year, each class with about 20
children. Once a year, there is the
possibility to evaluate the
teachers, to give them a feedback
and the chance to improve their
way of teaching. Usually, there
are class trips every second year
to destinations in Germany and Europe.
Our classrooms are modern equipped. For example there are a lot of electronic whiteboards,
which are very good for the usage of multimedia contents.
An important aspect in our school is that talented students are encouraged by special
projects to learn things, which are not taught in normal lessons.
Up from class 5, English is taught as our
first foreign language. In class six weve
got the chance to choose between
Spanish, French and Latin as second
foreign language. In school we have got
45 minutes every day to do our
homework for years 5 to 9. On
Wednesday, every second week there
are mixed classes practicing projects like
cooking, playing football, games or go
swimming. For the lower classes, there
are handicrafts and neurobic (fighting
with stocks), to ensure enough motion.
The international alignment becomes very important. Thats why the GLH has a partner
school in India. It is useful to give students the chance to improve their language skills and to
discover other cultures. These are also two of many reasons, why our school decided to
become part of the Comenius project Youth ECHOES. We hope that we are going to learn
more about our neighbors in Europe and the principles the EU stands for.

Today, Vilnius, the capital of
Lithuania, is one of the most
frequently visited cities of
Eastern Europe. It draws
attention, not only because of
its unique architectural
character, but also because of its
cultural events and attractions.
During the first ten years of independence the city has become a
tourist attraction centre. It is, therefore, not surprising that
during these ten years the
number of tourists has
consistently increased and at
the same time tourist
infrastructure and services
have been developed.
Vilnius, as the capital of
Lithuania, is the home of
the President, the Seimas, the
Government and the Supreme Court. Diplomatic missions,
educational, cultural, financial, research, and healthcare institutions are based here.

population of Vilnius is 523,000 people, which accounts for 17 per cent of the
total population of the country. Vilnius is home to people of different ethnic
backgrounds. Ethnic Lithuanians 57.8%, Poles 18.7%, Russians 14%,
Belarusians 4%, Jews 0.5%, and representatives of other ethnic backgrounds
account for the remaining 5%.
Vilnius occupies an area of about 400
square kilometres of which 20.2%
approximately is developed, and the
remainder is green space (43.9% approx.)
and water (2.1% approx.). The historical
centre of Vilnius, the Old Town,
(Senamiestis) is one of the largest old town centres in
Eastern Europe (covering almost 360 hectares). The Old Town is
situated in a picturesque valley of two rivers the Vilnia and the
Neris, at the crossroads of trade roads, next to the ford, which
was guarded by Vilnius castle in the older times.

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and the fourth-largest city in the United Kingdom
.
It is
situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands. Inhabitants of the city
are referred to as Glaswegians
Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become one of the largest
seaports in the world. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh, and the later
establishment of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, it became a major centre of
the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century. From the 18th century the city also grew as
one of Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West
Indies.
With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the population and economy of Glasgow and the
surrounding region expanded rapidly to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of
chemicals, textiles and engineering; most notably in the shipbuilding and marine engineering
industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow is known as the
"Second City of the British Empire" for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian period.

22
Today it is one of Europe's top ten financial centres and is home to many of Scotland's
leading businesses. Glasgow is also ranked as the 57th most liveable city in the world.
The entire region surrounding the CITY covers approximately 2.3 million people, 41% of
Scotland's population. Glasgow will host the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
St. Oswalds Secondary School
St. Oswalds Secondary School was
built in 1967. At the moment there are
120 students ages 12 to 18 at the
