With this project we hoped to encourage and to motivate everyone that we can work together for educating together, learning from each other, teaching others learn by doing and inspire others. The project objectives were: 1) to enrich each other's experience- learning from each other, developing creativity and collaboration skills, acquiring intercultural communication and non-formal education; 2) to show the our staff, students and their parents, that world is open to us by being in the European Union and the EU offers us a wide variety of opportunities to develop, learn about other cultures, widen knowledge and participate in exciting activities; 3) to encourage both local and foreign educational institutions to develop projects in Erasmus + program and receive volunteers.
In order to achieve the set targets, we have selected and attracted to project an appropriate volunteer. The project duration is from August 1 of 2015 to March 1 to 2016, a voluntary activity time - three months starting from October 1, 2015.

The used methods in implementation of voluntary work (discussions, "brainstorming", monitoring, assistance, teamwork, role-playing, presentation and creative approach). Together with the volunteer, we implemented project dissemination actions - on school premises was established an permanent exhibition about projects progress, ensure the regular publication of information on the project website. The evaluation phase (Volunteer created a video about project activities and results reflection, we prepared a presentation of the results obtained of the compilation - assessing responses of project aim groups questionnaires.)
