Six schools from Greece, Romania, Spain, Slovakia, Portugal and Turkey are collaborating in the project. The project concerns pupils aged 11-15. It is focused on the early school leaving problem and combating failure in school, lack of social inclusion, lack of basic skills, lack of parental support and finally lack of socio-economical needs. Its target is to envolve all the pupils in school life, by art, game, storytelling and acting. Creating art and games, creating and narrating stories and acting, are all going to improve their self esteem and soccialization and make a school an appealing place for all children. In order to succed its main target, more desirable goals could be achieved. Children of 6 different European countries will know each other 's culture, not by pasively learning but through creating art, acting and gaming, methods that promote self-action and interaction. In addition, the implementation of the project will combine Culture items and Information and Communications Technology (ICT), creating an interdisciplinary subject, of two subjects that are usually considered opposite. The products of this project are going to be: * Booklet with stories of national literature. * Videos on Youtube channel that will be created. * Board game, resembling monopoly, concerning the monuments and pieces of art of the participating countries. * Puzzles, created by students, with the most beautiful places of each country. * Tradditional toys, recreated by students. * Digital or / and physical book with all the stories and images, created during the whole project. There are short term exchange activities for pupils to implement the topics (strategies) and all the subtopics of the project and working cooperatively. Working in mixed groups with students from different countries and utilizin Peer Learning will improve their English level and social skill and promote their self-esteem. In addition, they will become more aware and sensitive to European values. Teachers and coordinators of the project have the opportunity to transfer good practices, to compare different educational systems in order to work more effectively.
