ContextSchools nowadays play a significant role in the development of individuals in order to be integrated in to the society, to access the labor market in continuous adaptation and develop as responsible citizens in the world of tomorrow. Regarding this, we have started this mutual European journey to associate with each other, to benefit from each other and to assist our students in attaining this objective in the process. For the purpose of preparing students for the future, we need to consider the fact that it is crucial to train them with a sequence of skills and abilities which go beyond their knowledge and are necessary in any field. The mentioned refer to: ICT skills, language skills, interpersonal skills, including their curiosity, critical thinking and risk-taking.Simultaneously, it is a well-known fact that not all students study the same things, in the same mode, at the same time. That is why we consider that emphasizing their learning styles will result in realizing and achieving these goals in the short-run and long-run. For that reason, we developed our project around the purpose of providing students with the essential multicultural environment where they can actually develop the previously-stated skills, which are founded on their individual styles of learning.Objectives:1. To identify the students’ learning styles and to adapt the teaching strategies in accordance with their needs2. To share diverse teaching methods based on students’ learning styles with other teachers from EU3. To develop the students’ language skills, communicational, interpersonal and ICT skills4. To develop the students’ creativity, critical thinking and problem solving abilities5. To promote and achieve a professional development of the participating teachers6. To produce and gather materials for setting up a summer camp programme for underachieving students7. To improve the students’ intercultural competences and support values such as nondiscrimination, tolerance and acceptance of diversity8. To develop the students’ motivation, self-confidence and as a result increase their performanceActivitiesC1 – visual style of learning, including games for visual types of learners –teaching science (PL)C2 – aural style of learning, including games and activities for aural types of learners - teachingmaths (LV)C3 – verbal style of learning and teaching English (LT)C4 – physical style of learning and teaching geography (PT)C5 – social style of learning and teaching history (TR)In all of the above exchanges, the host countries will be assigned to prepare games, design specific formal and non-formal activities to be applied on the participating students. The activities will be planned according to the learning style already assigned for each of the exchange partner countries.We will include all the activities in a support material and distribute them to the partner countries, sot hat they can continue using them in their own schools as well.ParticipantsOur intention is primarily to involve students.
