It has been observed that the children who enjoy pre-school education and complete the pre-education process caresively tend to gain self confidence , become more creative and their communicative skills are improved. The first three years of life of the child - an extremely intensive period of development and learning. But usually the children separated from their families for the first time refuse to come to school with problem with orientation. Unless this fear and problem with orientation starting with pre-school education is not overcome, this fear increases in the following stages of education and the children begin to dislike school. It is highly important for pre-school teachers to encourage the students to overcome their fears and to adopt to school. The children that overcome school fear can get used to their friends, socialize and learn to share. With these positive aspects, they become more successful in the following stages of education. Our prospective project aims at contributing to improvement of pre-school education through sharing different techniques and methods regarding socialization of children and overcoming the school fears in certain countries. Objectives: 1. The provision of assistance to overcome the difficulties of adaptation period. 2. The development of methodology how to make easier socialization and decrease school fear of early age children. 3. Promoting interaction between child- family-institution because family is an active participant in the educational process. 4. The expansion of early age children social skills in cultural, social environments.Target groups:1. Early-age (4-6 years of age) children (about 80) who begin attending kindergarten.2. Institution's teachers (about 50).3. Aggregate - counseling and support to families, carers – facilitating of critical period, support (about 100). During this project, each partner will have certain tasks in order to enhance communication and collaboration , and to contribute to dissemination of the project outcomes.Turkish team wiil be responsible for project website, France team will be responsible for etwinning platform, Bulgarian team will be responsible for organize project exhibition in the last meeting. Croatia team will be responsible of create e-book about the techniques and methodology of early age child school fear,Latvia team will be responsible for create blog about the games for early age child adaptation problem of school,Romanian team will be responsible for design of project leaflet. Our project will be carried out in collaboration between school and parents and there will be "HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS" activities in which parents will be actively involved. Teachers, children and parents will be involved in local workshops. For the last project meeting in Bulgaria, we will bring about a project exhibition to share project details to disseminate all project activities and outcomes to the stakeholders. In order to overcome the school fear and all the problems related to school orientation, a booklet will be created which involves techniques and methods related to the subject. Copies of the booklet will be distributed to the pre-school organizations such as kindergartens , nusery schools in order to disseminate the project outcomes as many people as possible. The partnership envisages also to develop a set of teaching resources consisting of a blog, etwinning platform, e-book, a web page, thus methodology of the teaching resource is usable internationally.The necessity for transnational co-operation has been determined by the following needs:- necessity to develop new pedagogical techniques and methods in respect of the child’s adaptation to school within the early childhood educational practice;- teachers’ insufficient knowledge and skills how to foster the child’s socialization and help him overcome fear;- parents’ insufficient involvement as active contributors to the quality of the early childhood education.Our project will promote the quality of work and lifelong learning. It will help to find the most effective and best solutions of the problem of early age children socialization and school adaptation problem.Lastly it will have an impact on participating schools through the establishment of a strong and long lasting partnership with the European schools.Overall this project will help pupils develop into a well rounded young EU citizen by improving their skills of team building, solving problems and most importantly celebrating similarities and accepting differences.

The educators who participated in the project had the opportunity to see different cultures and to have a chance to study different preschool education systems and have gained new experiences. Beautiful ties have been developed in the name of friendship among nations. The experience of kindergarten teachers has increased. Making such a project for the first time in our school has created awareness of the international project in the school teachers and students. As the language of the project agreement is English, participants' language proficiency and awareness of this language learning has increased. The project has had a positive impact on the ability of the project to use the Information Technology Tools since most of the materials and activities carried out throughout the project have been used in computers. The project participants who have different cultures and educational systems have developed new perspectives and visions. Due to the fact that it is the first project in the sense of preschool in our district, it has created a source of enthusiasm for new projects for preschool teachers thanks to disseminations and dissemination materials.
