Specific objectives: 1.

Development of communication skills for the 10 teachers, through communication within groups and communication in a foreign language; 3. Creating an experiential learning environment for the 908 students and 60 teachers of the school by using methods and tools of active work - participatory in the calsa and involvement in activities complementary to the educational act; 4.

Carrying out innovative activities, materials and tools that will produce a change in the educational paradigm of the school; 6. Promoting the European dimension in education by establishing links with partners in the European space and exchanging good practices for future development opportunities.
We applied this project to solve / improve 2 institutional needs that we identified following a Swot analysis, correlating the European Development Plan with PDI, respectively the long-term objectives of the institution. 1. Modernization and efficiency of the teaching act by training teachers in the use of actively participatory methods, curricular materials, creative educational documents and ICT tools, focused on applications and practice. 2. Motivating students, preventing failure in education and dropping out of school by strengthening professional relationships and streamlining learning. Teachers needed to learn new teaching methods or tools to identify more modern teaching approaches available today in European schools to provide a successful learning experience, beyond the traditional way of "teaching and discussion". Our school needs teachers capable of developing a quality curriculum beyond the prescribed content, to develop authentic, useful curriculum materials, creative educational documents that make the classes as attractive and enjoyable as possible and as effective as possible for learning. Another need is to understand the importance of emotional intelligence in modern education, how genuine and authentic approaches to teaching and assessment lead to effective learning that prevents failure in education and early school leaving. We sought to improve these needs by accessing specific courses that would respond to these needs in a timely and concrete manner. We aimed for these courses to carry out activities through which to provide and acquire the skills necessary to solve the institutional needs described above.
