NICEPELL

NICEPELL is an extension of the ICEPELL Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership project (see icepell.eu) and aims to support practitioners to confidently integrate intercultural citizenship education into English as a foreign language lessons and library sessions with children aged 5 to 12 years using picturebooks.

NICEPELL was an accredited professional development course which began as a week-long, face-to-face workshop in Lisbon and continued as virtual collaboration with mentorship. It was coordinated and funded by APPIforma in collaboration with CETAPS – Centre for English, Translation and Anglo Portuguese Studies, at Nova University of Lisbon. Teachers from geographically distant schools in Portugal took part in the course, developed and trialled a NICEKit and set up virtual exchange projects between their classes of students (aged 8 to 12 years old).

APPI would like to thank David Valente, Ana Nunes and Sandie Mourão for their collaboration as trainers and Ana Nunes and Sandie Mourão as mentors on the course.

Project dates: 2 September 2024 to 31 May 2025.
