About our project

The International School of Bucharest (www.isb.ro) became partner in a Comenius international project named "A Short Movie from the Viewpoint of Young Europeans". Our partners are schools from Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Greece and Turkey. Students and members of the staff involved in this project will have the opportunity to meet and work with their colleagues from the other partner schools. Visits to the 7 partner countries will take place. During these visits the participants will be involved in workshops on different topics such as: eating habits, historical places, cultural activities in the school, religious and national holidays, shooting a movie, digital art. For each meeting they will have to produce short movies on a preset topic. 

            Comenius projects aim to help young people and educational staff better understand the range of European cultures, languages and values. They also help young people acquire the basic life skills and competences necessary for personal development, future employment and active citizenship.

Meeting different countries, cultures and ways of thinking, the students involved in this project will expand their horizons. People involved in this project will be positively affected by experiencing the cultural differences. Participants will grow up as individuals sensitive towards their families and society, individuals who can solve problems and create solutions, who improve their skills in cooperating with official, civil, and social institutions.

The other aim of the project is to improve our students’ social, cultural and organizational potential and skills. In this way, the students successfully completing the project will be able to adapt to new situations and environments. Among cultural diversity, they will learn to respect personal differences and tolerate different ideas, concepts and cultural facts not just theoretically but practically as well.
