Examples of Open Schooling projects

Below you can find some inspiring examples of Open Schooling projects performed in the project "Open Schools for Open Societies".

• Multidisciplinarity

- an open mathematics lesson where students with their teachers make a journey in time and space looking for the geometry shapes and body forms in Nature, in churches, museums, ancient homes, exploring the relations between mathematics, natural sciences, history and society.

   - Fractional music: exploring the interrelation between mathematics and music, with the math teacher and in collaboration with an external music school

• Facing local needs

An Italian school analysed extra virgin olive oils’ samples sold on the national territory to assess the quality. 

Portuguese students researched how bees were treated and what state the bee population was. Students performed a series of research activities (interviews, investigations, etc.) to discover how the people relate to bees and the level of awareness about their importance. Students also investigated what the people in their community were willing to change to protect the bees. 

• Inclusivity and responsibility

A school team needed to find technological solutions to people with disabilities. The team looked for relevant stakeholders in the community, students encountered people from the disabled institute, performed interviews with the people and began to work on the solutions to the problems they defined beforehand.
