Project Summary

The project lasted for two years and was attended by 6 partner countries. There were five LTT activities in two years, and work that was done outside of these meetings. Unfortunately, due to the global coronavirus pandemic situation, on agreement with the partners, the last meeting was held online. Nevertheless, all project goals and outputs were met.
The project focused primarily on supporting high school students aged 15-18, reducing their ESL (early school leaving) rate, increasing competencies that would accompany them throughout their studies and working life and also introduce them to the issue of motivation, working in an international team, effective communication, expression of opinions and attitudes, and multilingualism. Pupils also met and worked on concepts such as racism, gender issues and discrimination during the project. The pupils learned to present their work confidently. They learned to understand individual cultures from their historical roots until now. They also learned to analyse a given problem, evaluate it correctly and find the most appropriate solution. They learned all this mainly thanks to the carrying out tasks (presentations, videos, surveys, etc.), which were based on the project and which they had to introduce and present at each meeting.
The project also supported teachers and other staff at the school. Especially in further education, learning about new, different cultures and encouraging cooperation at the international level.
The project will have long-term benefits for pupils, their parents, and teachers, as well as for other participants – cities, municipal leaders, neighbouring schools, local media, and the public. In each of them, it left an awareness of the project implementation at the international level and was an example of good practice for potential new participants in the Erasmus+ project.
