Project summary:
This project links four countries in Europe, namely UK, Estonia, Poland and Romania.  It will develop though the medium of ICT, teaching and learning strategies that promote multicultural aspects of the curriculum.  In doing so, it will produce schemes of work, support material for staff and students in developing their ICT skills and exemplar student material.  Whilst not providing full coverage of the curriculum, the strategies will be developed in a manner that will enable transference of methodologies to other curricular areas and as such provide a model for ICT policy.  Central to this project is the establishment of a website as a means of effectively communicating our work with others and the production of CD's for further learning.  The final result being the production of material that can be easily assimilate into any curriculum model.
