General objectives: - to activate in learners a welcoming attitude towards other cultures . To promote knowledge and awareness of issues related to the care of the Environment. - To encourage a multicultural and multilingual vision of learning through moments of comparison and exchange between European "partners". -To develop the sense of belonging to the European community and to promote the active citizenship of individual pupils through comparison and direct experience. -To support learners to acquire the following key citizenship competences: communication in a foreign language (English), social and civic competences, digital competence, cultural awareness and expression, initiative and learning to learn. -To stimulate the sharing of teaching methodologies and strategies among "partner" teachers and to promote activities that develop inclusion.

The structure of our project consists of four macro topics we have developed during the two years: 1.Environment. Respect our Planet; 2.Cultural identities; 3.Take care of our health; 4.Safe and free with I.C.T. Specific modules and related activities have been structured for each Topic. First we focused on the students' basic need to discover the beauty of the Environment around them and to make them aware of the existence of some rules to protect and preserve natural resources. Furthermore, we believed in the educational value of the cultural identity of each country, so we showed the beauties around the students' territory and let them appreciate also other cultures . “Get to know each other to grow together”. We also wanted to stimulate pupils' sensitivity in taking care of their health, "keep healthy, keep fit", and make them reflect on the social value of sports. Finally we worked on a positive, creative and formative use of I.C.T. In order to directly live the European experience, three mobilities were carried out. The first took place in Palermo, Italy, it involved Partner teachers; the second took place in Arta, Greece, it involved teachers and students , the third in Nicosia, Cyprus, for teachers and students.
