Project Summary

Background of Project
This project answers a common need to develop these competencies in our school environment. The Internet is one of the greatest additions to our lives and we take full advantage of it. Parents, in their struggle for existence & career, neglect their children, don’t have enough time to listen, share their joys and sorrows, guide them. In many cases, children seek refuge in the virtual world, feeling the Internet makes their life easier, empowered. Being liked, gaining excellence in games, feeling equal & filling empty time fills the void of adolescents with deficient offline social skills.
This project approaches social & civic EU key competencies because our students need to understand how they can attain personal & social well-being through a healthy lifestyle. These include personal, interpersonal & intercultural competence and cover behaviors necessary to participate in an effective & constructive way in social & working life. Acquiring the civic competence will allow them to engage effectively with others in the public domain and display solidarity & interest in solving problems affecting local & wider community.
Objectives
This partnership intends, through a European cooperation, to make pupils aware of the need to rationally, efficiently & safely use the Social Media, preventing school abandonment. It promotes the ‘learning to learn’ key competence-the ability to organize one’s own learning, including through effective management of time & information. This includes one’s awareness of learning process & needs. Thus, our students can gain, process and assimilate new knowledge& skills, seek and make use of guidance
Participants

Students & teachers will participate in meetings in partner countries & work in multicultural teams, according to planned activities. The partnership is a chance for all to participate, work, see, compare & learn in a multicultural environment, in a foreign country.
Methodology
