Three main activities/phases in the project will be carried out: In the 1st phase, 6 teachers and 2 administrators participate in ‘Teaching Through 21st-Century Methodologies’ in August 2014 in Czech Republic. 2nd phase will be carried out by 2 teachers and 1 administrator from our school who will participate in job shodowing in the partner school in England in October 2014. In the last phase, 3 teachers 1 administrator will participate in "Problem-Based Learning-A Practical Guide" in France in June 2015. A SWOT analysis, teacher meetings, a survey of expectation, a questionnaire in the preparatory process; a check list, meeting, diary, observation during the practice process; an action plan, a survey, reporting in the evaluation and dissemination processes will be the methods to be used in the project implementation plan (methodology). Outcomes and impact of the project upon three different groups are summarized as follows; it is expected to make the participants more open and interested to other cultures; to increase their motivation in teaching activities; to have acareer in intercultural and social proficiency; to increase their academic knowledge in their teaching fields, to improve their existing knowledge and to get the ability to use this knowledge both in-class and non-class activities, to understand different educational systems in European standards, to increase the motivation to learn a new language, to increase the knowledge in administration, to increase the ability to use ICT. As far as institutional outcomes are concerned it is expected to encourage other teachers to play a role in similar activities, to increase intercultural awareness, to create a better cooperation environment among the teachers, to introduce and to use new teaching and learning techniques and to make our school a certified “European School”. As for the students; our aim is to make them open to other cultures and to increase their interest to these cultures, increased motivation in learning and innovations, to shape them into creatively and critically thinking individuals who use ICT and media consciously, to encourage the use and learning of a foreign language, to increase their academic success in English, Maths,Science and Technology and Social Studies, to maintain their school attendance by loving their school in general then their teachers and friends and thus to help them finish the school successfully. Long term project benefits are to create a motivation not only for the teachers of English language but also for the teachers of other academic branches to show a tendency for generating projects in the following years, sustaining the school success of the students, training them as enlightened citizens with the 21st century skills; as for the school administration; it is expected that there will be a European perspective by showing an understanding towards teachers and and creating a school environment that increases teachers’ commitment.
