Chapter Title
About the project
The main goals of project:
- to support individuals in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competences
- to promote a comprehensive approach to language teaching and learning
- to open education and innovative practices in a digital era
The Na(e)tGEO project was the answer to the call heard in almost all schools, and therefore it was written to look for solutions which would help the teachers, educators, all school communities in problems they are facing. It is important to add that the project was written in 2019, which was a time when schools worked without any restrictions or limitations.
Today, looking back at the times of lockdown, one can notice the project and its assumptions also fitted into the pandemic school times. Enough to be said it was the period when many ideas, methods, programs, online teaching applications, cloud computing, instant sharing evoked and right now are deeply established in today`s teaching approaches. It was also a period that had negative consequences, as the isolation itself opened doors to many mental issues, lack of self-confidence, breakdowns, or dangerous online behavior.

The first meeting /Kick-off , Edeleny 2019
Teachers in this project had many chances to discuss and share experience internationally, give examples of good practices or even spread widely know-how patents to ICT solutions, used in distant schooling.
Nevertheless the times, the project itself points out problems that teachers are facing almost world-wide. The curriculum is overcrowded, information-based, there is a lot of demands for lexical knowledge, and there is little time to develop the competencies that make use of the acquired knowledge.
One can notice, the students are lost, tired and unmotivated in such a great the flow of information around them. Schools, due to many reasons, fail to use transversal competencies their students do have, not knowing that they have the knowledge and a potential, that combined with skills gives profound results. Sadly, school curriculums are very often in opposition to today’s job market needs, plus the educational process is slow and very often unwelcome by most of the children. The problems mentioned by teachers and quoted by many psychologists are very general in their origin and therefore fit almost every educational institution in Europe. Among others the problems are as follows:
- the lack of safe, loving atmosphere: the educational process is overcrowded with numbers, analyzes and competency assessments. Children and teachers barely know each other, they do not have time to discover and understand each other's personality.
- the lack of attachment to the surrounding society: the school environment is isolated, and often - especially for disadvantaged children - completely separated from the broader perspectives.
- the lack of perspectives as one of the most demotivating factors in the educational process. It should be desired for the learning process to become motor factor in the future, as it leads to achieving goals, be reliable and take advantage of the acquired knowledge in real life, and on the future job market.
