    Our project can be briefly described as the project of writing the continuation of the novel 'Les Misérables' by Victor HUGO, the master of French literature, who is a world classic in the field of literature and tells the subject in a striking language with the message of universal human love. The intention to write the sequel of the novel is not to change the ending; The aim is for the students to continue the novel by using their creativity from where the author puts the point in the last sentence at the end of the book. This project was implemented in our own school in 2015 and very positive results were obtained from our project. In this project, the students of all our strategic partners – including our own students – read the novel 'Les Miserables', which was written with the number of pages appropriate for their age, and discussed the characters, plot, place and time elements of the novel among themselves and with their teachers. They watched the 1998 movie, a beautiful adaptation of 'Les Miserables', and they took a 25-question test prepared by the language teachers of each school. After these activities, the students asked themselves the following question: 'If I were Victor HUGO living today, how would I continue the Les Miserables novel from where it left off?' With this question, our students put themselves in Victor HUGO's place and emulated such a master writer, remained true to the novel characters and developed them. They continued the novel. There was no limit to the number of pages in the continuation articles written by the students. As the coordinating school, we examined the follow-up letters written by the students of the four partner schools, including ourselves, in our education activities. We transferred all the articles to digital media. A total of 180 students from four partner schools participated in our project. However, the articles written by these students were screened by language teachers with criteria such as language, expression, subject integrity and style. As a result, we decided that the works of 46 students were worth publishing as a book. In addition, the language teachers translated the writings of each student in their own language into English, which we will determine as the common language. The works of the students, which we found worthy of publication, were printed by the printing house contracted with the Ministry of Finance in our country, in the numbers and novel sizes that we determined with the partners. These printed works were sent to partner schools by the coordinator school. In addition, each partner country compiled the follow-up articles of their students in their own language and in English and shared them with the partner schools. The PDF version of our book, which has been turned into a book, has been shared free of charge on the social media platform of our project and on the special website www.lesmiserables41.net. Some LTT activities that could not be done face-to-face due to the pandemic were held in the virtual environment. A special notebook was created for our project by teachers and students. A pen pal with the theme of Les Miserables was started among the project students. As of October 2018, promotional posters of our project have been hung in each partner school. Our project was also advertised with stationery items such as t-shirts, caps, agendas and scrapbooks from the project budget, specific to the name of our project. The books we printed in the printing house were distributed free of charge to students, teachers, parents, and the surrounding school and institution directorates. Necessary promotion and dissemination activities were initiated in schools. Our aim in this project, which is mostly aimed at middle school and/or high school students, is to strengthen the skills of the students in the field of creative writing and to adopt the idea that they will produce a new work as a result of their creative thinking power. That's why we aim to strengthen the ties between liking books and basic literacy. Based on the idea that 'everything starts with loving a book', we aim to help middle and/or high school students believe that they can be good writers if desired, that they can create their own books, and thus develop their creativity skills. Reading, value and interest in a work created by them will increase the emotional and cognitive levels of the students and they will feel themselves as individuals integrated with the society. With all these efforts, we have a positive impact on the cognitive and emotional intelligence of students in the field of creative writing, which is among their EU 2020 targets; We will help 15-year-old students achieve goals such as reducing the failure rate below 15%, reducing the early school leaving rate below 10%, increasing the quality and efficiency of education and training, and learning at least one foreign language in addition to their mother tongue for all EU citizens.

    """Music doesn't need language"" is an international cooperation project whose main objective was to influence the level of acceptance of cultural diversity among young people between 9 and 17 years old in a school in Laskarzewo, Vidin, Zagreb, Rokiskis and Kardla. Music and dance was the main area in which we planned activities to achieve the main objectives of our project. We wanted to encourage and involve students in social dialogue. In the course of our project we tried to focus on the development of intercultural competences in young people, and we planned subsequent activities in such a way that they would transfer these values to their closest environments, increasing the level of tolerance, sense of unity and European community among their family members, friends, closer and further acquaintances. The aim of the project was also to prepare students to consciously plan their educational path, make professional choices and get to know other cultures. Through the implementation of the project we enriched the educational offer of schools and thus made it possible for all our students to develop better. We have included students with special educational needs in the project, which has significantly increased the level of tolerance among the recipients of our undertaking. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to increase the involvement of ICT tools in the project activities. In this way, we managed to motivate students between 9 and 17 years of age in schools in Łaskarzew, Vidin, Zagreb, Rokiskis and Kardla to acquire and improve their skills in using modern ICT tools, learning foreign languages and searching for innovative learning methods. The project also aimed to improve the professional competences of the teaching staff. Participation in the training entitled ""The influence of music on the psycho-physical development of children and young people"" raised the level of teachers' knowledge of the use of music and dance in the course of their pedagogical work. During the project activities, teachers participating in classes conducted by partner schools exchanged experiences, compared methods of implementing particular classes, and transferred the best solutions to their own schools. In order to share the acquired knowledge and the developed solutions, we have created a series of lesson scenarios using these good practices. The scenarios contain all the necessary attachments, so that they can be used by any teacher, form tutor or other interested person. We would like to make them available to a wider audience, therefore, we created a project catalogue, in which the developed scenarios can be found. The aim of the project was also to promote the school on a local, regional and even international level, to strengthen cooperation between the school and parents, as well as other representatives of the local environment. We were able to do this during the mobility, but also on the occasion of other project events. We encouraged parents, friends, local entrepreneurs and local authorities to take an active part in preparing for international meetings. Also the local media were interested in our activities, they placed information about further project events. The main coordinator of the project, a school from Łaskarzew, was invited to participate in a conference on developing intercultural competences, where J. Głaszczka presented information about the project we were implementing. Our project has been noticed as an example of activity aimed at shaping a sense of unity and respect at the level of European community among young people. Within the project activities the participants prepared presentations, films, conducted workshops, competitions, national evenings, meetings and concerts as well as common games. Among the developed results there are material products, i.e. the project catalogue, scenarios of classes with the use of music and other forms and methods of didactic work, information materials, photographs, the website, ""The project wall"", presentations, project materials, music and dance groups of students, developed ways and space for communication between the project partners.The effects and results of the realised project activities will have a long-term impact on the participants and other environments more or less related to our schools. Information about the project, photos and videos can be found on YouTube, the project website, in local and regional media, in social media, as well as in information and promotional materials of partner schools and the towns where we live. The results and tools created as part of the project will be available to a wide range of stakeholders, will be placed in the libraries of partner schools, and their ease of modification will allow all stakeholders to adapt them to individual needs and use them for a wide range of purposes."
