Scope

The package includes the state of the art of both national programmes and most common secondary school handbooks dealing with History and Geography. Each partner will collect the main documents (laws, official guidelines, reports) regarding secondary school History and Geography programmes as well as the literature regarding the didactics of these subjects. Moreover, they will provide a complete outlook of the CLIL/EMILE projects in their own country.

These documents will constitute the corpus of the study and will be available in attachment of its final version.

The leader of the package will coordinate the comparative analysis of the documents and will be responsible of the layout of the results. The final version of the study will be available in pdf on the website. The target of the study are professionals (teacher trainers, teachers, school managers and scholars) as well as policy makers.

The scholars involved in the study are requested to present it in workshops and conferences, so that its methodology and approach can be peer reviewed (see WP 10 Dissemination).

The awareness of the situation in each country partner is the first step before deciding the framework of the handbook. Thus, the selection of the key topics that will constitute the basis of the handbook is possible only after the first part of the study. All partners will actively participate in this activity, so that the framework of the handbook will be agreed upon by everybody.

At this purpose a 2-day seminar will be organised in Venice. Its target will be all the experts involved in the project team. A 1-day monitoring meeting will be associated to the workshop.
