COLEGIUL NATIONAL DE INFORMATICA „MATEI BASARAB”

Our school has almost 2000 students and 95 teachers coordinated by one headmistress and three deputies. There are 3 educational levels: the primary, the secondary and the high school. Our general profile is informatics, our students learn two foreign languages but other subjects are also important, such as sciences, geography, social studies etc. It is important that our students acquire as many abilities as possible in order to find a good job. We have contributed to the conceptualization of this project because it is essential for our students to improve their abilities and to really use their ICT skills in order to be more competitive on the labor market. The school is situated in a beautiful area with huge touristic potential insufficiently exploited. The chemical factory of the town was closed and the unemployment rate has grown. The only solution is to focus on the development of the tourism. To promote and develop the region, it is essential to create and use appropriate advertisings by using the ICT and communication skills acquired in school. The young people are the entrepreneurs of tomorrow: in order to promote and develop a business, they need to be able to communicate and use ICT devices. Due to the project, our students will be highly motivated to improve their skills because they have few opportunities to really use their knowledge. It will also allow them to improve their social abilities, to become more aware of the complexity of the EU, to enlarge their vision about our world and be motivated in finding solutions for the contemporary issues (social and environmental ones) . Romanian students have few opportunities to go abroad so their representations about the European realities are limited and built on clichés. The project will involve students socially and economically disadvantaged and also pupils having physical or mental disabilities. The project will also be a great opportunity for our students specialized in ICT. They learn a lot of theory but they have few opportunities to use their skills for a genuine application that can be found on App store. This project will allow to develop their professional skills. The members of our team are various teachers.
