THE INITIATIVE
THE PHILOSOPHY
aces is an initiative of ERSTE Foundation.
The programme aims at supporting the establish-ment of a Central European network of schools. It is designed to enable and enhance a sustain-able dialogue and cooperation of young people and to create a continuous network of shared knowledge, mutual learning and innovation.
Partner countriesAlbania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzego vina, Bul-garia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovak Republic and Slovenia are involved in the network.
SupportThe initiative is supported by the Ministries of Education from all participating countries. The coordinating unit is Interkulturelles Zentrum in cooperation with VČELÍ DOM.
European citizenship – A Soul for Europeaces supports innovative ways of teaching and learning in Central Europe in order to contribute to the process of European integration and the promotion of European Citizenship.
Schools can play an important role in opening up the perspectives of young people beyond the borders of their own country towards a common Europe, based on joint values like the state of law, personal freedom and human rights.
aces invites schools to contribute to the cross-border dialogue on European values and concepts and to become a vital part of a shared vision of Europe.*
Learning for tomorrowaces offers concrete possibilities to take part actively and to discuss European values and topics with peers from abroad. Young people are supported in establishing personal contacts, developing friendship across borders and becoming acquainted with varying perspectives and different ways of thinking.
Besides stimulating the practical use of foreign languages and the motivation to learn even new ones (e.g. “neighbourhood languages”), aces welcomes the use of modern communication technologies. Students and teachers may profit from it and create a common space for learning and intercultural dialogue from which knowledge and various competencies emerge.
Schools as learning organisationsaces addresses schools with their potential for developing educational quality and innovation. “Learning schools” get inspiration by comparing themselves with others from abroad: different models of school management, the respective role of leadership or unfamiliar approaches and new methods for the classroom may serve as valuable resources for the own development.
Moreover, the “European dimension” exceeds the limited national tradition of education, it raises the awareness for the diversity of positions and attitudes and deepens the understanding of the complexity of Europe and the globalised world.

Vec: aces – Akadémia stredoeurópskych škôl: výzva pre projektový rok 2012
Vážený pán/Vážená pani,
dovoľujeme si Vás informovať, že od 1. februára 2012 bola spustená nová výzva pre úspešný
medzinárodný školský partnerský projekt aces – Akadémia stredoeurópskych škôl.
V súvislosti s uvedeným si Vás a Vašu školu dovoľujeme pozvať zúčastniť sa tejto
medzinárodnej projektovej súťaže spolu s ďalšou partnerskou školou z niektorej z krajín
Strednej Európy, ktorá je členom aces.
aces je iniciatívou rakúskej nadácie ERSTE Foundation a je organizovaná rakúskym
Interkultúrnym centrom so sídlom vo Viedni (Interkulturelles Zentrum, Vienna) v spolupráci
so slovenským občianskym združením Včelí dom. V rámci nej bola vytvorená sieť škôl
za účelom výmeny a interkultúrneho dialógu medzi mladými ľuďmi a učiteľmi v Strednej
Európe.
Do projektu je zaangažovaných 15 partnerských krajín: Albánsko, Rakúsko, Bosna a
Hercegovina, Bulharsko, Chorvátsko, Česká republika, Maďarsko, Kosovo, Macedónsko,
Moldavsko, Čierna Hora, Rumunsko, Slovenská republika, Slovinská republika a Srbsko.
Táto iniciatíva je podporovaná ministerstvami školstva všetkých účastníckych krajín.
Medzinárodné partnerstvo škôl ponúka rozličné možnosti učenia sa od seba navzájom, aj
spoločne, možnosti interkultúrnych výmen, ako aj implementácie inovatívnych vyučovacích
metód do škôl. Preto je každoročná súťaž medzinárodných školských partnerských projektov
ústrednou aktivitou aces -u.
Jedna súťaž v oblasti mediálnej gramotnosti – veľa výhercov
Médiá nás nielen informujú a poskytujú nám zábavu, ale hrajú tiež dôležitú úlohu v tom, ako
vidíme a vnímame realitu okolo nás. Masovokomunikačné prostriedky – a sú to najmä
digitálne médiá – nám ponúkajú široký, všeobecný prístup k informáciám a k novým
spôsobom participácie, avšak zároveň so sebou prinášajú riziko väčšej manipulácie s
informáciami. Mediálna gramotnosť sa tak v dnešnej spoločnosti stáva silným a dôležitým
faktorom aktívneho občianstva. Zahŕňa v sebe celý repertoár kompetencií, ktoré nám
umožňujú získavať, analyzovať, hodnotiť i tvoriť mediálne produkty a zároveň sa stať ich
zodpovednými príjemcami a využívateľmi i kreatívnymi tvorcami. Preto je rámcová téma
aces výzvy na rok 2012 „Odraz reality – Ako vnímame a vytvárame svet
prostredníctvom médií”.
Hľadáme slovenské školy!
Vyzývame všetky typy škôl v Slovenskej republike so žiakmi vo veku 12 – 17 rokov, ktoré
majú záujem aktívne sa projektu zúčastniť, aby si v termíne od 1. februára do 30. apríla
2
2012 našli v niektorej z menovaných členských krajín aces -u partnerskú školu a aby
predložili návrh spoločného projektu s vlastnými nápadmi, myšlienkami a návrhmi na
spoluprácu v oblasti, ktorú určuje tohtoročná téma projektu. Následne medzinárodná
výberová komisia vyhodnotí a vyberie najlepšie projekty na ocenenie. Výhercov podporíme
v snahe zrealizovať ich cezhraničné projekty formou grantu a budú pozvaní na medzinárodné
stretnutia s delegáciami zo všetkých ocenených projektov. Pracovným jazykom je angličtina.
Ďalšie informácie, pravidlá na podávanie výzvy a on-line systém na nájdenie partnera, ako aj
on-line prihlášku na predloženie projektu, je možné nájsť na stránke www.aces.or.at.
