Developing Key Competences through Holistic Learning and Teaching in the Digital Age

The goal of this project is to create an innovative, 'transdigital' learning and teaching approach based on the conviction that effective digital-age learning does not make isolated and ineffective use of digital devices and applications, but considers them as part of a holistic educational concept “to prepare students for a fulfilling and productive life in which their skills and attributes are constantly challenged, developed and applied as part of their lifelong learning” (J. Hare, Holistic Education).

The project will foster a broad and sophisticated set of skills, competences and personal qualities in secondary school students and teachers while its impact will be most visible in the close international collaboration and professional exchange of best practice among the project schools from Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Lithuania and Spain, which will strengthen the awareness for how digital and traditional methods and media may intertwine to meet individual learners' needs.

About the Rewilding Project

Transforming Europe from the 1930s to the Present

Europe has recently seen a rise of populism, a growth of nationalism, and a wave of fake news and propagandistic campaigns, which go against the European core values of democracy, solidarity, liberalism and enlightened political discourse.

History has taught us that the 1930s showed some striking similarities in terms of mass manipulation, populist rhetoric and misguided patriotism. This multinational project therefore aims at helping young Europeans of the 21st century to become astute critical thinkers in the quest for knowledge and cultural and national identity.

First exchange will go to Essen 4.2 2019 and will focus on the power of memory. Five students from Ikast-Brande Gymnasium, pre-IB, will work with students from our partner schools.
