show their ability of team-building spirit
and peer-to-peer mentoring, especially when
compiling both a written report in a published booklet and an edited video. Equally important
are managerial and entrepreneurial skills, which might pose a positive effect on students‘
leadership and communication skills and boost their self-confidence in the long term.
All in all, by challenging so many different skills, the students gain access to the
key competences that are integrated in the whole project week concept:
1. language competence in the sense of using English and/or German for a written report and a
video;
2. intercultural ability in terms of researching and getting to know other geographical areas and
cultures;
3. aesthetic competence in enabling the students to go beyond the formal framework and create
something on their own (a report in a booklet and a video);
4. social competence in the sense of being able to co-operate with
others and understand the
meaning of teamwork;
5. information literacy in terms of using computer-aided tools and modern multimedia
technologies and developing strategies to work with sources and data.
The whole conference article with its theoretical background that I have explored above,
has given me an insight into how valuable the project week experience always turns out to be,
how much there is to gain by both students and teachers for
professional and personal
development and honestly, there is nothing more exciting than the next destination, the new
team…another challenge.
