The project "ImTeaM4EU (Improving Teaching Methods for Europe)" is focused on strengthening the competence of teachers in different teaching institutions in terms of using appropriate methods while teaching European Key Competences (defined by LLL). Thus the effect will be a contribution to improving European teacher training both in the field of initial and in-service training. The project will develop strategies and materials that support teachers in improving their teaching methods of chosen key competences being the basis of a knowledge based and modern European society. In accordance with the individual experience and expertise of the partner institutions the focus of the project is set on the following key competences for primary and secondary students (age of 6-18): communication in the mother tongue and in foreign languages, mathematical competence and competences in science and technology including ecological competence, social and civic competences. The goal of "ImTeaM4EU" is the qualification of teachers in initial training or their training on the job in order to encourage and enable them to use topical themes in a hands-on-learning approach in their lessons. Such lessons particularly support learning competences of students focusing on Europe. The improvement of such a general "European Competence" prepares young people for living and working in Europe, not least with regard to "at-risk-students". As educators’ competences are crucial for any learning process, the teachers need to be supported in the process of teaching European topics and the defined key competences in a differentiating, motivating and sustainable manner. The project partners have indicated an obvious demand and need for action. Regardless of the fact that European contents and the teaching of European key competences have been established in the curricula of several European countries, teachers still too often have deficiencies regarding their didactic-methodological repertoire to serve the students' needs. Therefore, "ImTeaM4EU" contributes to the improvement of the quality and efficiency of general education and training.
