The questionnaire results have confirmed that young people spend a lot of time on the internet (80%). The questionnaire recognition of our cultural heritage has shown that they do not recognize it at the rate of 65%. Increasing the rate of recognition of our cultural heritage is one the project aims. Our project is among the priority areas of the ET “2020”, the strategic framework for European Cooperation in education and training; students should acquire the competencies they need, modernize the curriculum,improve the quality and efficiency of education,and improve their studies by supporting and strengthening them with the help of the Council Results decisions on school development and excellent education;With our project,we aim to get to know the cultural heritage of different countries,to create awareness in languages and religions by establishing different communications with one another in a multicultural context, by creating different opportunities from different places of birth.Our project aim is to take an active role.Our project will provide cultural interaction with historical and cultural areas and museums in partner countries to enable them to use and apply the skills they have acquired,to increase their interest, to encourage social and emotional intelligence to live together,to promote harmony,to encourage attendance at school and to help reduce early disability and school failure.

Our Objectives:To draw attention to the natural and cultural heritage especially in Europe.To emphasize the importance of our environment and cultural heritage as an indispensable element in our life.To apply new methodological tools based on outdoor activities in local natural areas.To protect cultural resources with a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach.All of the work will be done during transnational projects and in places where interesting cultural heritages are located.We plan 6 student mobilities and 2 project meetings for coordinators within 2 years in order to obtain information about the associated entrepreneurial project,to respect these heritage resources and to provide promotion materials at local and transnational level.
120 selected students from the six partner schools will take part in the project and will work divided into international teams on different “missions” which will include activities connected with historical heritage of the countries involved in the project;preparation of presentations about cultural heritage; participation in debates and discussion followed by the creation of a blog and publishing of a real international magazine. All activities will involve different technological tools and will eneable students to experience new didactic students-centred methodologies which will support motivation and therefore reduce the number of early school leaving pupils.Six schools from different parts of Europe will cooperate in this project and give the opportunity to staff and trainees,to cultivate their cultural conscience and to strengthen their European identity, knowing the culture of other European nations and shape attitudes of a European citizen,characterized by awareness,tolerance,desire for improvement,care and respect for local and global cultural values.Students will reflect on the impact of cultural heritage on people’s identity in Romanian and Croatian mobility In Turkey and Greece students will reflect on protection of natural heritage and the importance of cultural heritage In Portugal and Poland students will have the opportunities to use cultural heritage to support growth and development In all countries students will present their work to students and teachers from partner shools on local heritage
