About Project

This is an international project aiming to learn the olive tree in a multidisciplinary approach including biology, ecology, economy, as well as exploring literary, philosophic, and symbolic meanings in history.

Work Process

The project is expected to last for one educational year. Firstly partners will introduce themselves and their living places, then teachers will educate pupils on project rules and web2.0 tools use. Different aspects of the olive tree in a multidisciplinary way will be researched by pupils from all schools. The data will be collected and documented in various web2.0 tools for the self expression of the pupils. Project logo, slogan poster, etc. will be collaboratively designed and will be chosen in a democratic way by voting on the digital platform. The research done by pupils will be exhibited in e-book, website, videos, slides, etc. Evaluation will be done to have a general idea how the objectives have been met by the activities. Impressions of the stakeholders will be expressed on a digital board or other web2.0 tools.
