The project “Open Doors for Non-Formal” is proposed by Ghindeni School, located in a rural area, without a consistent support of the local administration, with single-parent families or parents working abroad, children being left in the care of their relatives, which leads to a poor motivation for school activities. The objectives we focus on in this partnership are: the orientation of learning towards the European systems, the involvement of the local community in the educational activities, in order to motivate students and provide them with the necessary competences for further learning. The project aims to increase learning motivation, basic skills and transversal (digital, multilingualism) development, testing and implementation of innovative teaching methods, student-centred, based on the 8 Multiple Intelligences, non-formal learning and activities both outdoor and indoor. Project partners represent schools and adult training institutions with a different cultural, social and economic background. Project partners have different ways to respond to challenges and have different experiences and points of view. By working together as partners we can explore the differences, identify similarities and move towards common "European" solutions with local variations. The participants in this project are staff and students from the partner schools, staff of Quarter Mediation, experienced in teacher trainings in learning motivation issues and staff from CJRAE DOLJ, experienced in counselling activities for students, teachers and parents. The groups from each school are heterogeneous, the teaching staff at all levels of school education, also the teaching aids, have to be in contact with the European educational system, to benefit from examples of good practice, to share experience, to establish cooperative relationships with foreign partners. The students involved in project activities are also from the disadvantaged groups-poor families, emigrants, children with special educational needs- considering they could have more benefits from the partnership results, by learning to learn in a different, innovative way, in different learning environments. The work methods used during the partnership are active-participatory and non-formal, group centred, set on a cross curricular approach of learning, stimulating communication and reflection, use of cultural and historical heritage, ICT and mobile technologies, outdoor education, learning by doing, hands-on. This practice process motivated and stimulated all categories of participants, the teamwork. Thus we achieved a more efficient communication and cooperation between all the factors involved in education. Through the network and during the workshops and meetings, participants learned about each other and exchanged experiences and ideas in order to make project work more innovative and more interesting. The project meetings enabled the teachers and trainers to discover the partners' working context. Furthermore, the participants could learn and appreciate partners’ lifestyles and stimulate an open and tolerant attitude and understanding of the partners' culture, their social and economic situation and living conditions. Common project activities contributed to a positive reflection both on one's own and partners’ position within Europe, and strengthened the "European identity". The project materialized in the guide, „How to use non-formal methods in the formal education”, containing good practice examples made by Quarter Mediation trainers and other teachers who organized workshops,good practice of non formal lessons, made by all the partners, comparative study of using non formal/classical methods in lessons. Other results are: learnt knowledge and experience transferred to colleagues and students; increased professional skills; enrichment of intercultural awareness; improvement of staff and students’ language skills and the European dimension of school activities. By implementing and promoting of innovative teaching methods, we opened new horizons of knowledge for students, therefore extending the educational act beyond the classroom, we developed the creativity, initiative sense, active participation, disciplinary learning, awareness of European citizenship. The acknowledgment of the results increased the motivation of all those involved in education process in partner institutions. We are part of an intercultural group, which promotes exchanges of experience and transfer of good practices at European level. With the project results freely available on the project website in English, also in participants’ native languages, project results will be exploitable in all European countries.
