Project Summary

When pupils go to school they meet others from diffrent socio-cultural backgrounds and have opportunities to make new experiences in a new social environmwent.We, the partners from ITALY (The coordinator) => TURKEY,FINLAND,FRANCE,PORTUGAL AND SPAIN, now have an enormous responsibility to ensure that our pupils develop cultural awareness and are engaged in acts of citizenship, not only within our schools and surrounding areas, but as active members of the global community, and each partner organisation brings different experience and competences regarding educational systems, history and cultures in their countries.
OUR SPECIAL GOALS ARE;
 To make students aware that all individuals may be different,
 To reduce the influence of media and social media on pupils.
 Providing cultural fusion by breaking prejudices among children,
 To teach the pupils the basic elements of different beliefs,
 Adopting the importance of respecting individual differences on ensuring peace in the society for the pupils, their parents and teachers.

Teachers and pupils will have the chance to exchange their experinces and knowledge. So it will contribute to the school athmophere and teaching profession.

With a positive climate in schools, education will be of high quality.The aim of the project is to have a positive impact on the development of pupils’ key competencies through building teachers capacity on competence oriented education.

A huge number of people ( about 6500) is expected to be involved in the activities of our project and will contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the project (e.g. Pupils’ range of age is in between (12-18) years old, teachers, parents, NGOs, representatives of The Ministry of Culture and of Education and Municipality).The target groups of the project will have the opportunity to discover many representations of cultural heritage;(Tangible Heritage,intangible heritage and digital heritage).

The LLTs are planned to involve pupils in different kinds of activities related to the topic ( 4 pupils and 2 teachers).But each short term joint staff traning will be 3 participants from each country.
