Welcome to Comenius Project: ‘Minds at Work’

Four post primary schools from across Europe, Carrickfergus College (Northern Ireland), IES Ben Gabirol (Spain), Dr George Graf von Arco-Oberschule (Germany) and Istituto Superiore Statale Carlo dell’Acqua (Italy), are working together on a project entitled ‘Minds at Work.’ In celebration of the European Year of Creativity and Innovation students will investigate how individuals and societies from each participating country have contributed to the history, culture and economy of Europe by engaging in innovative and creative thinking. The project will broaden the European perspectives of the participants and challenge them to plan and complete a range of project work which will develop their thinking, creative and entrepreneurial skills in order to prepare them for the world of work within the European Union. Enterprise education will be promoted throughout the project to encourage students to be contributors to the European economy, whilst modern technology will be embraced in all facets of project work. Using the title ‘Minds at work’, the project will address themes in subjects across the curriculum, identifying how subjects such as history, art, science, technology and languages can contribute to the creative process. The project will also promote the development of healthy lifestyles amongst students, encouraging the development of healthy bodies and healthy minds through participation in sport.
