According to the report of the EU Ministry of Labor, 65% of the children who are educated today will work in nonexistent jobs today. The proficiency of the professions whose name is not even known cannot be expected to be specific. 21st century, created own language .When we do not speak this language, the lessons cannot go beyond being seen as long and monologue. If we can teach 21st century skills to our students, we will educate our children in the equipment that will be able to successfully practice the occupations that do not already exist.Our project team was sent forms to our project partners for the problem areas and solution suggestions for getting 21st century skills on School Gateway and Etwinning platforms.When the forms are evaluated, common problems in our schools are;
-Processing of boring lessons,
– Ignoring individual differences in the interests and abilities of the students,
-Students’ creativity, critical thinking, inability to solve problem-solving skills,
