It is often difficult to integrate the personal, cultural or historic background of the student and his/her family into school life and learning process. Scientific research proved that the student’s motivation is linked to his/her learning autonomy, competences and involvement (Ryan, Deci, Vansteenkiste).
Involvement is a double and active process. On the one hand the student has to be interested in what school life offers, but on the other hand the school must invest in a safe living and learning context where the student can express and develop his/her personality.
The concept of a community school museum allows the student the possibility to introduce his/her personal story into school life. By building a community school museum, students can track back the history of the local community and/or family and link it to the school.
A second advantage of the use of a community school museum is the enhancement of the social cohesion at school and the empowerment of the student. It allows to empathize with the history and evolution that people had to make in the past, to arrive at present day’s situation.
The method is especially used where language knowledge is a barrier. The community school museum helps language poor or non-native students to bridge the gap between their personal background and the average school situation.
Furthermore, the community school museum can help to overcome tensions between groups of students and understand how enemy images can develop. The method was successfully used in areas that had suffered from war, civil war or long periods of instability, to create a renewed feeling of belonging together.
This course is the result of an strategic Erasmus partnership in which 9 partners collaborated during 2 years.
GOALS
– Gaining insight in the use of a community school museum;
– Being able to use the concept of community school museum to enhance the social cohesion and intercultural dialogue at school;
