The pilot implementation phase of the project is starting in September in all five partner schools – in Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Croatia and the UK – and will last throughout the school year. One of the first steps is the organisation of workshops during which teachers will talk to the students and their parents about the project and the new AMORES methodology in teaching literature which will be employed in the pilot. It is important to have parents on board so that the children have parental support in reading and the safe use of interactive ICT tools in homework assignments. 
The aim of the AMORES methodology is to encourage greater student engagement with literature through the interactive and collaborative use of ICT. The students will create digital artefacts and share these with their peers in countries around Europe. For example, Croatian students might create videos around Croatian literary works and then share and discuss these online, via videoconference, with students from the United Kingdom. During the pilot phase the new methodology will be tested in actual use by teachers and students who will have chance to influence the revision of the methodology through the student voice approach.
The pilot will be implemented in ten classes, numbering around 200 students in total. The schools involved in the project are: Primary School ABIS “School4Child”, Lodz, Poland; Skægkærskolen, Silkeborg, Denmark; Karlbergsskolan, Köping, Sweden; Primary School Horvati, Zagreb, Croatia and St. Mary’s Katholic Primary School, Staffordshire, United Kingdom. The fact that the new methodology will be tested in five different contexts makes the project results representative at a European level. Updates on pilot progress and results as well as guidelines on how teachers can apply the methodology in their own teaching will be available on our news section here.
AMORES would like to invite all interested parties to support the project by liking our Facebook page and joining the AMORES community. This will ensure that you are regularly updated on all project news and other information related to literature, literacy and reading.
