Teachers will collaborate to create and apply appropriate common strategies of teaching-learning trough multidisciplinary project-based approaches, of evaluating the key skills of students in real-life contexts. They will design and implement effective assessment practices, reflexive, with a clear purpose and permanent feedback, of a high quality, with emphasis on methods which can be characterised as performance-based assessment: projects, group/peer work, presentations, interviews, role plays, reflective diaries, (e)-portfolios.

The Impact of the project will demonstrate that: - All students have developed the skills of project writing and management and show an increased interest for involvement in solving the needs / real problems of their life, the school, community - At least 75% of students will have improved their social, civic, digital, communication in their native language and English skills. - All teachers have the improved ability to apply at lessons and extracurricular activities multidisciplinary approaches that promotes learning in an environment rich in technology and based on solving real problems of students, school, community. As the curricula will be an open educational resource, multilingual, the transfer and project sustainability will be ensured by taking the course by students and teachers from the partner schools after the end of funding, but also in secondary schools in the same city / region / country / continent.
