They will work in multicultural teams and they will learn by practicing together, they will be engaged in pear learning. They will reach a high level self-discovery of their own identities and they will train themselves in social inclusion activities.<< Results >>The expected results: making students aware of their national culture and integrating it in new creative ways by using modern means of communication such as TIK TOK videos, integrating students from disadvantaged categories in creative activities in order to promote a common European conscience and an inclusive education.The desired impact: the integration of students with different cultural backgrounds in a cooperative environment reaching a higher level of a common European heritage and citizenship.76 students (aged from 14 to 18 years old), accompanied by their teachers, will share experiences and will create their own art after having observed the other's culture in Romania, Portugal, Spain, Croatia and Italy. They will have a pathway to positive outcomes such as further learning and higher self-esteem, they will be more optimistic about their future and opportunities will be supported to acknowledge and make space to deal with any personal, social and emotional/wellbeing issues and challenges which influence lifestyle choices, behavior and decision making, increase motivation and commitment and shared responsibility for progress.Students and teachers will develop their skills and methodology especially during these activities. Meeting their peers they will experience the idea of European citizenship working in an international environment and will train their entrepreneurship, ICT, language and teaching skills while working on the activities.Students and teachers will also be introduced to representatives from the town administration and town council, if possible during a reception or discussion at the town hall (especially when preparing for the public debate). This will enable students to experience life in the different cities, meet experts and get more and deeper insights relevant to the project, from which the project results will benefit a lot. Furthermore, the students will also be able to compare and contrast the different cities, which will also significantly add to their results. The expectation is that students will create and put forward a proposal for local councils as result of their research and recognizing needs of the communities.During the activities students will work in mixed, international groups helping each other with tasks and sharing their methodological and language competences as well as their knowledge, which will help to develop their skills further. The teachers from different countries will have to create innovative tasks and developnew methodological approaches to their teaching while also sharing and comparing their national approaches and experience. Finally, in order to further develop their language (students) and methodological skills (teachers), students and teachers will be given the opportunity to take part in or observe some lessons at the host school during the meetings.Pupils will be aware of the cultural richness of the European Union which unites all countries through the common values that we share: respect for human rights and their dignity, freedom, equality, democracy, respect for the rights of persons belonging to minorities.The expected results of the project will therefore be: Students will become more confident in themselves when creating videos to promote their own cultural heritage such as arts, traditions, gastronomy, literature. They will also become more proficient in English as they will have to use this language when producing authentic materials. Students will better develop communicative skills as they will interact with one another in a collaborative and a supportive way. The project will bring generations of teenagers closer through aspects of culture and traditions specific to their own country by connecting people through language, cultural dimensions and the idea of belonging to a common European heritage."
