School, school life and the teaching methods barely changed within the last few years. Comparing this with the technical and digital developments in other areas (e.g. the automobile industry), it is recognizable that this development had barely reached the school buildings. While economic markets connected and a global trade established, connections between European schools were hardly formed. Our concern is to eradicate this shortcoming by enabling an exchange for students between six European countries. Requirements in daily routine and business life changed because of the global and industrial developments. Together, we want to search for new ways of learning and living in schools which satisfy the upcoming European challenges with the goal to prepare teachers for these requirements. We want to dare the attempt to anticipate the future development and to gain a vision of a school with a European profile. Therefore, we originate from the needs of young people in a European society and the requirements of the future business world in the European economic sphere. Political developments with a special attention to the upcoming populism and xenophobic attitudes are considered as well. The new intercultural competences which have to be developed during the project, train the competence in dealing with students from different cultural backgrounds, both for teachers and students. They will become aware of European commonalities and diversity and come to appreciate them. We pursue a strengthening of the personality of every participant by the planned intercultural activities. The personal competences of each individual will operate applicatory in the broader flexibility and security in international contact first in the tuition and school climate and later on in the private and business life of the participants. The project will be initiated by the Gebhard-Müller-Schule, a vocational school with a business profile located in Biberach, Germany. The partner schools are: ITET “E.Fermi (Barcelona, Spain), Pozzo di Gotto (Sicily, Italy), St. PCVO Nijverdal-Rijssen CSG Reggesteyn (Nijverdal, Netherlands), Escola secundaria de Palmela (Palmela, Portugal), 2 Geniko Lykeio (Rethymno, Greece) and IES La Madraza (Granada, Spain).Students at the age of 15 and 18 years will attend in the project. All partner schools are operating in the upper secondary education (advanced level). The focus of all schools lays in general education and cover the areas tourism, financial and marketing administration, information systems, international relations, environmental and territory buildings, economics and business management and law.Seven meetings are planned during the term of the project of two years. The first meeting will be a strategic teacher´s meeting with a characterization of an advanced training in which the current state of the attending schools should be determined and the concept or script for the following six student-teacher meetings is planned together. The focus of the six student-teacher meetings will be: sustainability, digitalization, virtual tuition and the relationship between students and teachers. All partial results will be summarized in an education short movie. The movie informs the audience by picture and video footage, interviews, moderation and text modules about the design ideas for the foundation of a European school of the future. The movie which illustrates the concepts for modernize the classic school routine, developed by the students. The visual processing of the results by a movie enables different interest groups to get fast and easy access to the gained results. In this way, the previously stated problematic addressed fast and straightforward and therefore can start a discussion.
