Project Summary

The project „Home alone” dealt with the issues of alienation and loneliness of a young man in the modern world because he/she is not accepted by others in terms of personality, interests, nationalilty or religion. The lack of understanding, acceptance could lead to the situation when the young man escapes to the virtual world. Not only teenagers but also parents are not aware of the Internet dangers (cyber-bullying, grooming, seksting etc.). Moreover, the Internet offer is often more attractive than the direct contacts with peers who are intolerant. Unfortunately, we are not able to eliminate the new technologies from the life of a young man. In this project we tried to show the young man and his parents how to use the new technologies in a safe way, how to to transform the Internet addiction to success in the future. Thanks to such activities and final products as workshops, meetings with representatives of various religions, ethnic minorities, the organization of a conference „The Internet and social media”, lesson plans about the tolerance, the project was able to educate a young man to be open to the world, tolerant and conscious of the risks of the modern world. Moreover the project showed students how Internet and social media could influence their personal intellectual and social development.There were 6 schools from European countries: Poland, Greece, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania and Spain. Not only students and teachers directly involved in project work but also the whole school and local society could benefit from the project final products which are going to be used also in the next school years. This partnership allowed schools to share experience, to learn tolerance, and to tell the others how to live in a multicultural society, how to use skillfully the achievements of the twenty-first century without cutting off from the roots.
