In this way, we contributed to both the goals of Europe 2020 and the development of students who have disadvantaged conditions and have difficulties in learning basic skills. We aimed to develop basic skills by using the theme of "bread", which forms the forms of civilization, and to raise a new generation that has reading, writing, speaking, listening skills in both mother tongue and foreign languages; we wanted they can use ITC, learn for life, think independently and multidimensionally, make correct decisions. We strived for students to discover their own talents, create their future entrepreneurially, develop a European identity and create a European profile, and be sensitive to social issues. We wanted to strengthen the European dimension in education, increase mobility between countries, establish new cooperation, and try to improve the quality of our intuition and our students by observing and comparing education systems, policies and best practices. We all had many similarities with disadvantaged students, low grades and learning disabilities. We have all tried to act together and develop activities and good practices related to the basic educational skills students need. The students prepared some presentations, visited the bread bakeries and interviewed with the bakers and farmers, and prepared a short movie named "Journey of grains to our table”, searched and learned the history of bread for e-book, types of European breads, bread-theme poems, expressions, proverbs, folk songs and folk dance, prepared a statistic of the consumption of bread in Europe.The students joined the discussions themed bread waste, observed the duration of mold growth and staling of bread, made a model of bakery and flour mill from waste materials and exhibited, constituted a student council, created slogans, posters and postcards about “starvation-famine”, published a notice and sent them after exhibiting in order to show support and sensibility of European kids.At the meetings, the students read poems themed “bread”, sang folk songs and performed folk dances. They carried out all these events by using ICT tools and some of the techniques and methods of experiment, observation, search, design, freedom of expression, group work, workshop, learning tolerant, analyzing, creative and critical thinking, innovation workshop.Owing to this project, the students gained some long lasting skills for their life and tried tobecome individuals who are self-confident, creative, productive, communicative, innovator, qualified, up-and-coming and could take the right decisions, solve the problems and improved their European identity.Each partner school planned to create innovative, productive, new activities and methods.Our project enabled the participants to learn and improve a foreign language, develop their communication and ITC skills, share the professional competence via innovative and creative methods; the institutions to; develop cooperation and communication with the other intuitions and organizations, have a creative and innovative team, create an image and prestige, determine quality strategies; the target groups to; improve their basic skills on both the mother tongue and foreign language such as speaking, writing, listening and reading and math’s and science skills, be informed about entrepreneurship, learn to use ICT, solve the problems they face, have an ability of making a decision, learn social values, meet European identity, get a sense of social responsibility, approach tolerantly; the stakeholders to; make new cooperation with our schools, have a desire for moral and material support in the future.
