At its heart, this is a project about inclusion, not only for disadvantaged students but also for those who need motivation and a better outlook on life. Our work will be based on the theory of multiple intelligences, and students will have the chance to discover their strengths as well as learning how to improve upon their weaknesses. It is also an entrepreneurship project, where students and teachers alike will have the opportunity to learn about enterprise through formal and non-formal channels. Much like a real enterprise, each member will be a vital part of the team, and they will need to foster their communication skills and work hard to achieve the expected results. This project will be developed by a group of schools, each with a unique strength to contribute. Latvia provides experience in working with young entrepreneurs, managing an Erasmus+ project as well as a great deal of creativity. Spain have already developed an Erasmus+ project in micro-entreprises and can share their experience in accounting. Slovakia also has experience in developing an Erasmus+ project, and can share their expertise in communication and marketing. Cyprus will be our crafts specialists, bringing with them their ambition for their first Erasmus+ project, as will Romania, who will also contribute their ICT expertise to help build an e-shop. With this union we will promote the sense of European community and cooperation not only in our students, but also in our teachers and families. Therefore, the craft making will be 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 will need 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 aims 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.
