Project Summary

Tackling the problem of early school leaving is the one of the priority targets of Europe. An important problem that we have when it comes to achieving the success of our students in their studies is motivation. Our students (especially the socially vulnerable), present poor school performance and school failure due to lack of motivation.
Our partners schools encouraged development of the creative student’s potential.The project helped to compare, exchange and share opinions and experiences between students and teachers about creation process. Erasmus Plus project strengthened the cooperation between participating schools. The project “Social inclusion through creativity” focused to achieving and development an exchange of best practices, methods and ideas in primary educatation.
By carrying out the activities of the project Social inclusion through creativity, objectives such as:
*A context of regional and international cooperation has been created regarding the social inclusion of students at social risk.
*New techniques and methods of learning, teaching, evaluation have been implemented as alternatives to the traditional school, in order to involve more actively in the educational process of students with ESN, students at risk of amuggler, students at social risk;
*In the schools in the partnership, teams of teachers have been formed to implement Erasmus projects.
*The teachers involved in the project activities have improved their Communication Skills in English, ICT skills and intercultural competences.
