The 3D – project Comenius: a cooperation between European

schools.

What is Comenius? Vision Globalisation expands boundaries, broadening our horizons and making our world smaller.

International cooperation, the Internet and travel make personal and business relationships across borders increasingly common. A young person graduating from secondary school at this moment has a good chance of studying, working or living in an international environment. Pupils who come into contact with the international and intercultural community at a young age through internationalisation at school have a broader perspective and better chances on the international job market.

Mission Internationalisation prepares pupils to take their part in the international community, promotes

teachers’ professional development and enriches the school curriculum. Through its role as the Dutch knowledge centre for internationalisation in primary and secondary education and teacher training, the European Platform contributes to increasing the quality of Dutch education through internationalisation.

Ambition Our goal is that all pupils in primary and secondary education receive a foundation based on

internationalisation, in order to inspire and prepare them to study, work and live in an international environment. In addition, the European Platform provides support to schools wanting to establish internationalisation as an extra distinguishing aspect of their school. The European Platform also encourages the internationalisation of teacher training institutions for primary and secondary education in the Netherlands.

Comenius will be named Erasmus in the future.

3D-project The original ambitions of the project: Interaction between schools. Sustainability. 3D technology and thinking (not just printing!). How 3D technology can be integrated into the everyday curriculum. Learning about culture. To carry on with the things that have been learnt after the project ends.

What makes a good Comenius project: The project should have a measurable impact on the school. Each partner school must have an input into the project. All partners must communicate with each other (in between mobility meetings

too!). The project should be put into the curriculum somehow. The project should reach a wider audience – dissemination is key! Media, other

schools, parents, local community, open evenings, student exchanges etc. Tell everyone! Show them what we are doing now and later they can get more involved.

Importantly, enjoy the project and be enthusiastic about it!

What’s 3D printing ?Children learning to think 2D to 3D.Children learn to work with various computer

software.Doodle (age 3-6 year) Tinkercad (age 7-18)Blender (10-18)

Children learn other children to learn thinking 3D and to work with the printer.

Children learn adults to think and to work 3D.3D printer and materials, recycling plastic,

sustainability.

What are we going to do?We need to write reports, dairies of our lessons and

experiences.We/ our pupils need to make contact with other

schools and exchange their ideas of designs.Sharing our experiences and keep spreading the

word.Involve our colleagues, implement this project into

school.Where can we put it in our curriculum?What is the value of this project for the community of

Vlieland (ITGWO-Province-leading school for Europe)

3D and Sustainability

The future is where our pupils will life and work

The beach of Vlieland

Sustainability3D-printing is more than just a printer

Plastic island and 3D- printingWe must learn our children to live in a better

world and so we need to recycle. The “good”example, we chose to drive by car

instead of flying.

This project How to continue after 2015?Our position as leading school.What is our chance to spread the word?
