Coordinator of the project is High School “Stefan Procopiu” (Romania, Vaslui), partners are Foreign Language Secondary School (Bulgaria, Pleven), 5th General Senior High School of Aigaleo (Aigaleo, near Athens, Greece), Yildirim Beyazit Anadolu Lisesi (Bursa, Turkey), ISISS Cicognini Rodari (Prato, Italy). A target group for project fulfillment and completion of activities are both teachers and students of the five countries, partners of the project. Strategic partnership in the field of school education is aimed at developing innovative pedagogical practices and tools in the field of school education, promoting the development, transfer and application of best practices in support of the ongoing implementation of methods for training teachers, promoting intercultural understanding and learning foreign languages, promoting the development of joint studies and research in the field of school education in the context of educational programs and support of policy development, implementation, recognition and certification of skills and competences at national level through European and National qualification frameworks and tools for validation.

The innovative developments of these lesson units are grouped around a theme and skills. The methodology guide "Think Literacy: Cross-Curricular Approaches" ("Literacy lessons") “ presents interdisciplinary didactic as a condition and educational environment for increasing the efficiency of the learning process. It provides the basis for a comprehensive approach to solving specific problems of practice, school or life environment through the employed subject or cross-curricular.

THE STORY OF EUROPE Objectives: To improve the correct, aware, fluent, expressive reading skill; To develop students’ abilities of understanding texts, of describing and selecting the main ideas from texts; Improving the text comprehension skills by using reading and comprehension strategies applied before, during and after reading. Target: students aged 14-19 Time required: 50-60 minutes Means/Tools: Materials necessary: worksheet ”The Legend of Europe”. Methods used: conversation, Tea Party, Say something, GIST method, Ask questions, Words collector. Activity organisation forms: frontal activity. Strategies: Suggested activities: Before reading: Tea Party The teacher selects a sentence /sentences from the text to be read and prepares tickets with a word or parts from that sentence. Each student receives a ticket. For 3 minutes students walk in the class, discuss about the words they have on the ticket, make connections between words, ask themselves what the text may be about. After 3 minutes, students sit in their desks. They are asked about what they have learnt from the discussions with the other students, starting from the words / phrases on the tickets (what characters there are, what subjects may be approached in the text, where the plot happens). Then the teacher underlines the conclusion: The text understanding starts before reading the text. There are more reading-comprehension strategies that apply before reading, thus facilitating comprehension. While reading: Say something! Many times, while reading, students think of other things.
