EUROPEAN PROJECTS

 

This year, LFEE is involved in a number of exciting European Projects, including:

COMENIUS REGIO PROJECTS

Between the regions of Perth & Kinross (Scotland) and Côtes-d’Armor (Brittany)

A regional collaboration project between Scotland and Brittany to develop exciting new teaching material on CD-ROM based on storytelling. These original stories will be animated, using ICT and other more traditional animation techniques and recorded by native speakers. They will be suitable for the teaching and learning of English/French at primary and early secondary levels. Whilst creating links and working partnerships between teachers, schools and local authorities in both regions, this project will focus on trans-curricular and trans-cultural elements. All schools from the 2 regions will benefit from the project.

Start of the project: September 2009
