After all the restrictions due to the covid pandemic we wanted to create a positive change in the attitudes towards others. The returning to normal school life, enjoying learning together, regaining the ability to interact with others were the most important goals when designing the contents of our project. We wanted to give our students the opportunity of knowing and appreciating both their own cultural identity and that of other peoples. The mutual understanding and respect should improve when cooperating with people from different cultures and backgrounds. Mobilities for students would add value to the project. Living in a host family for one week will help students to realise how much they have in common and how their way of life is maybe different from other European countries. Students should participate in international creative workshops during the mobilities. That should encourage them to work together in a foreign language. From the teachers point of view we wanted to compare good practices and evaluation.
