OUR SCHOOL PROJECT



The future of our world is largely based on our capacity to learn to live together. Each culture has influenced the history, the human achievements and the route to our present day society. Everything that we do and are has been influenced and shaped by the interplay of cultures. What our future looks like will depend, to a crucial extent, on how cultures live and deal with one another. We are part of one world- a world for which we are jointly responsible.  With this project we would like to take action and preserve our rich cultural legacy, our identities, our traditions, whilst respecting the customs and lifestyle of others in a climate of mutual respect and appreciation. We would like to exchange knowledge and to campaign for understanding, respect and tolerance between cultures. As young people grow in this new, different and exciting global environment, they have to be equipped for it..  We believe that promoting awareness, tolerance and respect between people from different cultural, religious and linguistic backgrounds is more important now than ever. These are the fundamental qualities that make truly global citizens and our world needs more of them. The project focus on four pillars: 1.Learning to know: "I , you and we"
"I"- Learning more about ourselves, our ancestors, our traditions, customs and deep cultural roots;
"You"- Learning about our peers from the partner country;                                         
"We"- Learning about what we have in common, respecting our differences;
pillar2. Learning to do: acquiring skills and competencies.
Pillar3.Learning to be: open and respectful. Intercultural dialogue calls for attitudes conducive to critical thinking, respect and tolerance. Open to accept various values.
Pillar4. Learning to live together for a peaceful, prosperous and harmonious world;
