2014 was declared the International Year of Family

Agriculture (IYFF) by the United Nations. It aims to

focus society’s attention on the significant role of

family farming and smallholder farming concerning

food security and nutrition.

From an ecological perspective, where the environment

is being protected and natural resources preserved, the

occurrence of the theme: Agriculture, emerges as

appropriate, timely and relevant.

By developing an eTwinning project, the creation of a

collaborative network between European nursery

schools will be a favorable space to come up with new

ideas and to implement innovative educational

activities. It aims to foster cross cultural understanding

concerning the European citizenship, the promotion of

languages, technologies and an environmental

education.

The Process

Timetable

The project will be prepared by the partners during the school

year’s first term. During that period, a number of

communication strategies, useful tools, possible activities and

a predictable schedule will be defined.

The creation of a platform (website) is included where the

activities, the students’ projects and all that results from the

communication between the different nursery schools are

supposed to be published. The main purpose of this platform

is to reveal the children’s work to the educational community.

The project will take place during the schools tear’s second

term:

Initially there will be a first activity in which the students will

present themselves and their school.

The topic of the project – agriculture, shall be presented to

the students as part of the curricular classroom project.

There will be a number of activities that students will

undertake in their school and ultimately share with other

nursery school partners. These activities may be songs,

poems, stories, picture dictionaries of agricultural products

from their geographical zone, fruit trees games, the creation

of a digital book related to environmental protection, etc.

This activities could be reformulated by intervening teachers.

The children will participate in the assessment of the project

by taking part in discussions, drawings and a questionnaire.
