Project Summary

At its heart, this it was a project about inclusion, not only for disadvantaged students but also for those who need motivation and a better outlook on life. Our work have been based on the theory of multiple intelligences, and students have had the chance to discover their strengths as well as learning how to improve upon their weaknesses. It was also an entrepreneurship project, where students and teachers alike had the opportunity to learn about enterprise through formal and non-formal channels. Much like a real enterprise, each member has been a vital part of the team, and they have needed to work hard to achieve the expected results and foster their communication skills. This project have been developed by a group of schools, each with a unique strength to contribute. Latvia provided experience in working with young entrepreneurs, managing an Erasmus+ project as well as a great deal of creativity. Spain have already developed a project in micro-enterprises and they shared their experience in accounting and in Erasmus + projects. Slovakia also had experience in developing an Erasmus+ project, and they shared their expertise in communication and marketing. Cyprus have been our crafts specialists, bringing with them their ambition for their first Erasmus+ project, as
Romania, who also contributed with their ICT expertise to help build an e-Shop. With this union we promoted the sense of European community and cooperation not only in our students, but also in our teachers and families. Therefore, the craft making have been used as a tool to motivate students and engage them in all aspects of an enterprise, and to give them a more rounded understanding of the world of work. To achieve their goals, they have needed to use a foreign language, use computer resources, learn maths and marketing, foster creativity and communication and understand the value of hard work. Finally, this project has aimed to give our students the opportunity to sell their end products in the final fair and on the internet (e-shop), bringing a real life context to this school project.
