Horizontal priority: development of relevant and high-quality skills and competences, sectoral priority: promoting the acquisition of skill and key competences.
The main area of life skills which we included in the project was equipping students with necessary skills and the knowledge of:
– Coping with stress
– Healthy nutrition
– Being safe on the Internet
– Avoiding Internet and computer games addiction
– Being creative
– Well-being
– Being kind and respectful to everyone despite their cultural differences, developing right social behaviour.
The teachers engaged in the project shared good practises and innovative teaching and learning methods in the area of life skills.
All the students participating in the project developed key competences mirrored in life skills and they are prepared for self-sufficient adulthood.

Target group:
Students from partner schools who were interested in developing their life skills as well as teachers who cared about their professional development, gaining new skills, sharing good practises and learning from their foreign colleagues.
There were four students aged 13/14-18 from each partner country taking part in every mobility. They were students with good knowledge of German, students from families with low socio-economic status, students commuting to school and students with various learning difficulties.
Accompanying people – teachers.
Project activities:
1) Information about the project on partners’ internet websites and in the local media, recruitment process, verifying the ideas and selecting participants for each mobility.
2) Creating the international project logo – each school conducted a competition for their own logo and after that there was an international competition between partner schools. The winner was the lpgo from the school in Slovenia.
3) Creating and publishing information on partners’ internet websites and in local media after each activity, writing articles for the local press and project pamphlet.
4) Evaluation in the middle of the project was made by the partners via Internet. They worked together on the progress report after the first year of the project duration
5) Final evaluation of the project was made by the partners via Internet, they prepared the final report together.
