Project Summary

A more diverse multicultural environment and changes in societies, are the factors which affect today’s education system. Schools have to adapt with these changes and develop a social environment that promotes citizenship and European values, respect for ethnic and cultural diversity and promote each child’s initiative and ensure his/her prosperity. Today’s teachers must not only develop their professional skills and knowledge, but also foster values such as care and commitment, creativity, open-mindedness and positive thinking.
The project aims to promote citizenship through activities and campaigns, encouraging pupils to express their views and letting them know that their input (opinions, decisions, and participation) as citizens is important.
Working in an international team they will get a better understanding of the essence of democratic principles, cultivate a spirit of patriotism and engender respect for the history, traditions, culture of others leading to tolerance and respect for difference.
We hope to strengthen cooperation between the school and parents, learn more about the problems and situations the child encounters and offer a professional assistance for ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for the child’s welfare.
The young people will have meetings with representatives of local authorities and campaigns will reveal common issues young people across Europe have and will offer each other wide range of solutions.
The international team of teachers together with school psychologists, social pedagogues,parents and school management will work together and select experience and samples which will be put together into a tool-kit called “The school that you are looking for”, which will be translated into eight languages. This will contain useful information and innovative methods as well as suggestions to support schools and teachers, parents and the community in educating an open-minded, creative, responsible and inquiring generation.
