Creative European School : C.L.I.C.K.
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

A more diverse multicultural environment and changes in societies, are the factors which effect today's education system. Schools have to adapt with these changes and develop a social environment that promotes citizenship and European values, respect for ethnic and cultural diversity, stimulate each child's initiative and increase motivation to learn. Today's teacher must not only develop their professional skills and knowledge, but also foster values such as care and commitment, creativity, open-mindedness and positive thinking. Therefore, the project " Creative European School : C.L.I.C.K.” brings together six European countries (Lithuania, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain) with different experiences in order to consolidate their knowledge, innovative teaching methods, possibilities and desire to find the best means to educate young people in a multicultural society by provoking their curiosity, fostering their initiative, creativity, respect and tolerance, admit education as a constantly developing process requiring new pedagogical skills, sophisticated understanding of diversity of today's schools. The project addresses the most vulnerable group of children - teenagers, aged 12-16, teachers of different subjects, parents and school managements and other school staffs such as social pedagogues and psychologists. The word CLICK is a mnemonic of the English words Computer science, Languages, Inter-culture, Citizenship and Knowledge, words we want as the cornerstones on which we hope to pave the way to a creative European school. In addition to this, the project partners have decided to call themselves the CLICK family which is involved in different activities and deals with the issues that have an international dimension. We have set the aims to promote cooperation among 6 partner schools to increase students' motivation to learn and get knowledge by learning in one of the partner countries and from one another; to encourage awareness of the importance of European dimension through cultural, linguistic and social events for better understanding of own and others identity in European context through history, culture, traditions as well as to promote citizenship and civic responsibility in all 6 partner schools in order to educate our students as European citizens, actively involved in future society. The project will develop digital competence, communication in mother tongue and foreign languages, learning to learn, social and civic competences, increase cultural awareness. The project activities will be integrated in schools' curriculum and/or extra curriculum activities and trans curricular, collaborative learning /teaching in international teams , holistic, active teaching methods, out of class activities,workshops, a conference will be used.
