The organisation of LTTAs has been planned having in mind that one of the essential aspects of a European project is its cultural and interactional component. Therefore, by organising such events, we intend to bring students from different regions of Europe and have them work together in multicultural teams, share opinions and ideas face to face, experience the lifestyle of their peers from other countries and observe the cultural and educational differences which are quintessential to the concept of a united Europe.
certain skills and abilities which would not be possible in a monocultural environment.
As well as this, we also need to stress the linguistic value of such meetings. By being in contact with peers from other countries, students will communicate in English, which will help them improve their language skills. They will listen to the others actively, read materials designed in English, write in English to complete feedback forms and evaluation forms, speak to deliver presentations and interactively. By organising these transnational meetings, the learning experience becomes more meaningful, as participants learn about local cuisine, customs, traditions, geographical features, specific problems.
As far as the topic is concerned, we believe that by having students work together to develop mobile apps, we will gain an insight into their interests, their way of thinking, and the event will represent a simulation of a real multicultural work environment that some students will probably be part of in the future. The LTTAs will also provide us with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills that our peers from Greece already have in terms of developing mobile apps,; since we will try to implement the same clubs locally as part of our sustainability plan, a first-hand experience of how it is run will prove invaluable.
Besides the topic of the project itself, the opportunity to take part in these exchanges will also function as a great motivator for students to get involved in all the stages of the project, especially since a lot of our students have never had the chance to travel abroad so far.
Therefore, we planned to organise 4 such exchanges, each with specific topics and objectives, as detailed below.
