The specific objectives for the educational community that we hoped to achieve by implementing this project were: 1. To increase the employability of pupils, to improve their curriculum and make it more attractive to companies in the European Union. 2. To enhance the key skills and competences of the participants (making them more autonomous and responsible, strengthening their capacity for initiative and problem solving) and to improve their knowledge of other languages. 3. To enrich the cultural education of pupils and teachers, fostering European awareness, in a context open to diversity and social cohesion. 4. To deepen e-learning and telematic communication systems through ICT tools, contributing to sustainability by reducing the use of paper. At centre level, by implementing this project we also hoped to achieve: 1. To promote transnational cooperation, looking for new synergies in the framework of collaboration between the different members. 2. Improve the quality and prestige of our institution.
