NcompasS: Joint Projects
Joint projects provide teachers/youth leaders and young people with the opportunity to work together on a common project theme which should be integrated into the normal group activities. Possible themes for a project could include: Cultural heritage of participants; The environment; Arts & Crafts education; Music; Science & Technology; Literary traditions; Local & regional identities; School and the world of work; Equal opportunities for boys and girls; Media; Education through Sport; Drama; anti racism.
This list is by no means exhaustive and is merely illustrative of the range of thematic areas that could form the basis of a joint project.
Whereas the focus is on the process, projects should aim to produce outcomes such as project diaries, CDs, videos, objects/artefacts, publications, (newsletters, booklets, calendars etc.), artistic performances (drama, music etc). Projects will be encouraged to disseminate their experience to other schools/youth organisations and to the wider community.
