Description

Our 7-Day Course is for those who want to learn about Portuguese education and culture through a combination of pedagogic encounters with schools, seminars, field learning “Contexts4Content”, and workshops.

 

English Matters will select educational institutions related to Primary and Secondary school levels. Participants will learn about educational organisation and management of learning and will have the opportunity to share their experience and ideas with colleagues from a variety of schools around Europe. This will support a European Dimension in Education and everyone participating in this experience will receive maximum benefit from it.

 

The course offers several key activities:

1. Pedagogic encounters with schools to learn about educational organisation and management of learning.

2. Seminars and workshops to explore specific aspects of the education system and culture of Portugal.

3. Professional and cultural discussion resulting in a concluding presentation of learning.

4. Field projects “Contexts4Content” to explore places of natural, historical, and cultural significance, as a basis for the development of teaching materials to assist their students in meeting their learning goals and be aware of the socio-cultural richness of Europe. 

 

Please note that this course should be included as a Course in your Erasmus+ project.

Methodology & assessment

This 7-Day Course in Portugal will allow you to experience the authenticity of the country and its people from the very moment you step foot in the airport.

Allowing yourself to spend enriching days in full contact with Portuguese society and culture, and combining this with pedagogic encounters with schools, will bring you an in-depth understanding of the Portuguese education system.

The way in which students are educated can be a window to a deeper vision of a society. This can also lead to reflection on why a society educates its people in a certain way and may encourage you to see your own education system from a refreshed perspective.

This combination of elements will help build a holistic vision of education and culture in Portugal from several enriching perspectives.
