Project Summary

The main aim of the project was give the students opportunity to know better European nature and cultural hertiage. We used differenth active methods and ICT technology. Heritage it is all the things, places and practices that define who we are as individuals, regions and countries. We can see it in the buildings, townscapes, and in archaeological remains. Cultural heritage is in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the religions we follow, and the skills we learn. Europe is the place where lots of influences and natural treasures meet together creating new horizons of the people. The rich and diverse cultural and natural heritage of Europe is one of the key to our common roots. Project let us to build new relationship among young people in Europe, improning the attainment of them, particulary those at risk of early school leaving. Our children developed a full understanding of and respect for other cultures which have the same roots. Not everyone of our pupils felt a connection with their cultural heritage, some thought traditions are archaic and no longer relevant, and that they are unnecessary during these modern times. They didn`t think about nature and next generations. Protecting the European nature and cultural treasures is an issue that must be of general concern. Because of that our project based on common mutual topics which motivated both students and staff alike to explore, exchange and learn about natural and cultural heritage. Our partnership raised the intercultural competence but also had a positive influence on everyday life also in the future in muliticultural Europe. All partners schools took part in European cooperation activities because we are sure that such partnership gave our pupils a great possibility to learn about different countries and nationalities, to improve their English, reading and writing skills, to be better and more active Europeans and to create inter-cultural dialogue between students and teachers. But the most important think is that they cooperated with other European teenagers in the field of heritage and European influences.
