Background and Experience:
Kretinga Marijonas Daujotas Basic School is the educational institution, located in the Western part of Lithuania. There are 870 learners in our school, some of them have social problems (single or asocial parent families) living in material difficulties, coming from rural areas. 58 our learners have special needs, most of them work according to individual curriculum. The majority of our pupils has never been abroad and has a small view on what is going on and has a narrow view about the world as a whole. Therefore, it is very important to improve the quality of training and to ensure an opportunity for our learners to have social and cultural life, to encourage the international collaboration and move from the national to a wider European context. We work in a basic school with students of the age from 7 to 16 years old.
There are some students with special needs which have a lack of motivation and difficulties in learning, understanding and performing the English language as they do not see any possibilities to travel and use the language for their own needs in the nearest future. Also there are quite enough students who are at risk of social exclusion and have psychological problems in learning and motivation.
Participation in a project is a great possibility for our experiences both to children and to teachers, as the teachers have no possibilities to gain their experience abroad. Teachers work is oriented towards a child, so we would like to exchange possibilities and opportunities communicating in English, analyzing and sharing cultural differences.
As a rural region school we must prepare children for the future and support them with the information about the world and life in it. Project's activities could help our learning and make it more interesting and more attractive for students and teachers as well. Connections in this project could help in developing personal skills and students could be introduced with the actual information, the view on what is going on in the world. therefore, it is very important to Marijonas Daujotas Basic School to improve the quality of training and to ensure the opportunity for our learners to have social and cultural life, to encourage the international collaboration and move from a narrow, national, to a wider European context Lithuanian regional policy sustains a lot of problems. People, living in the regional areas have fewer opportunities in social and cultural life than those, living in huge cities.
