"INNOVATING TO BUILD BRIDGES" is a multidisciplinary project which involves both teachers and students from the different cluster schools, having as common goal the change and refreshment which goes through the domain and acquisition of competences as to improve the quality of the teaching learning process in our institution. In medium and long term, it has the aim of combating failure in education and reducing earlier school leaving, betting on a different pedagogy that gives privilege to critical literacy and to the students' integral formation.The experience concerning Comenius, Grundtvig and Leonardo da Vinci projects which dates from about 15 years, by adding the experience we are having with a KA2 project, allows us to value our participation in projects, partnerships and international courses as an asset for the the development of personal and organizational competences.Concerning these European projects we have been working such a wide range of issues that go from youth challenges, arts, ecology, the environment, entrepreneurship and leadership to the one we are now working on that deals with Math in the different curricular study areas aiming to improve the students' results and as the interest for this subject.The exchange of experiences broadens the linguistic,cultural, European citizenship and professional competences of all the participants, thus contributing to a new look of the problems in order to put local problems into perspective.Our goal is to implement a culture of commitment with the quality of the services offered in Agrupamento de Escolas Anselmo de Andrade.
