Through this project, as we programmed at the begining we have realized about the importance of live together. Work with others cultures is important to prevent conflicts from breaking out. its has been very important for our student to know other cultures, countries and styles of live. They have changed a lot their ways of thinking and their behaviours.

OBJECTIVES
We have combated the unsound mentalities existing inside communities which are built on disrespect and intolerance against certain groups of people by raising students awareness of the terrible effects of these behaviours on the development of a human being and by combating hate speech and hate behaviour inside schools.

We have achieved the objectives that we have set

2. we have worked to reduce violence, school dropout and inequality by promoting values such as tolerance, acceptance of alterity and inter- and intra-cultural respect (it has been important the work between members of different cultures for this objective)
3.During the meeting we have involved students in activities that presuppose working in multicultural teams.
4. We have discouraged the tendency to stereotyping and prejudice based on isolated cases of misbehaviour through the activities that we have done it.
