A lot of students live in situations of social, economic, cultural and linguistic discomfort and they show alienation towards school and society. But today, students need to develop new competencies such as entrapreneurship, social and civic skills that are essential for a future globalized society. Prevent and fight discomforts and subsequent drop-out, promoting the acquisition of life-skills. Teachers also need to develop new skills which they will need to use in their work with students in this liberal world. In our school, there were involved 160 students from grades 6-9 and 27 teachers in the project.
The following areas of the project were most successfully developed:
for STUDENTS
​
- Implement interactive methodologies based on the ITC use. Students created films and presentations on the project theme. Several video lessons were created, which can be used in practice.
- Support the awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity within Europe through virtual and not virtual exchanges. There were 2 Skype conferences between schools (1 overall – for all partners and 1 between 3 schools). Our students and teachers took part in 3 international meetings
- Train to respect for minorities that inside its own society are able to work together successfully. Students and teachers of our school took part in the festivals of Estonia. Within the framework of the school there were held holidays for people of different nationalities. We actively participated in the “Food Bank” campaign
- Improve students and teachers’ linguistic skills. Students and teachers attended theater performances in different languages. We organized speaker competitions and a debate tournament.
-Promote educational training aimed to contain behavioural problems in order to foster an efficient social integration by using an inclusive teaching. Students with problems in behaviour became active participants in school life.
for TEACHERS
​

- Place the differences of each one at the centre of the educational processes because everyone is a nucleo of life processes. Teachers created special individual programs for different students
