Choosing project themes that help you deliver your curriculum

Joint curriculum projects enable schools to work collaboratively on a project of common interest. Your project must support and be integrated into the curriculum of all partner schools. The general aim of your project should be to increase understanding and an awareness of each other's countries and the wider world between young people, and this can be achieved by identifying key themes that feed into your school curriculum.

Possible themes for projects might include;-

• Literacy / language learning This could include;- story-telling, cultural heritage; development of literary traditions; creation of a story / publication;creative writing or poetry around a theme.
• Drama This might involve a joint creation of a play or dramatic event - each cluster could contribute to a partnership production.
• Art Pupils could produce artwork around a common theme, leading to a joint exhibition.
• History and Geography Partnerships could look at and compare local and regional identities; or focus on cultural heritage or local history.
• Sport This might include raising awareness of sporting culture; learning about new sports and games, or possibly running joint tournaments.
• Science One of the key issues here is the environment. This could include comparing weather in different countries, looking at ways of tackling climate change, making better use of resources
• Citizenship Here there are opportunities to focus on global citizenship; looking at themes like intercultural understanding; health, sustainability etc.

Remember a lot of the themes identified here can be cross-curricular, which is a great way of making your project work for more people across your school community.
