Together Better- Join Us!
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The process of globalization touches all the countries, also these of the European Union. The technological progress, ICT make international communication easier, but, on the other hand, they very often lead to replacing the real world with the virtual one. Unemployment, crisis cause people's migration, are the reasons of broken families, and the process of making the society poorer. Addictions, violence, disability, injustice, which result in society's aging, race,culture, ethnic discrimination, are the still rising problem, together with the desire of the present world to be „beautiful, pretty and rich” All these factors cause that many young people feel lonely, not needed, isolated, which causes their absence at school , often leads to dropping from it, leads to depression, the feeling of low self- esteem, and, in the consequence to make the number of the unemployed, resigned from life people, who are not able to interact with others, bigger and bigger. Our project „Together better – join us” is an attempt to find the way to engage all these people, who feel bad in their society, are afraid of coming into relationships, into peer groups, and in the consequence, to let them come back to the society, in order to make them able to cope with their adult life, to be able to cope with challenges, let them be more creative, willing to work in the group, be open in the contacts with others, „different” people, with different cultures, social status, intellectual and moving abilities, etc. We want to achieve it through the same way of cooperation of 10 countries, from various parts of Europe, different as far as geography, culture, industrial development and the systems of education are concerned. Thanks to that, during the trainings for students and teachers, we can work out the models ant strategies for the interaction among people rejected or endangered with rejecting, with the rest of the society, to get the support for most of the people, write down in the special guide for teachers and students as many different models of behavinig and reacting in the cases of various reasons of rejection, as possible. We are planning three project meetings (in Greece, Spain and Estonia) for the teachers of all the partner schools, to work out all the necessary topic and financial documents, describe the needs and resources, prepare the working schedule, plan the form, the methods, the type of activities during the trainings. We will have 7 trainings ( Sweden, Belgium, Italy, Latvia, Portugal, Turkey, Poland) – for students and the staff, in the form of 5- day- trainings- artistic workshops, plays, games, classes with the specialists, conferences, speeches, discussions with activating techniques and practical activities. The main aim is cooperation, learning through it, giving the tasks to each participant, according to their needs and abilities ( for example for disabled students, with SEN), „being together”, interactions, creating relationships, getting common tasks to be done. We would like to remind todays Europeans the basic assumptions and rules of creating the European Union, when partnership, brotherhood, the force of cooperation, equality among people was a priority, and the fact that people are different makes learning from one another more interesting and inspiring. The project is aimed not only at students and teachers of partner schools, (242 direct participants) but also at parents, local schools' communities, headmasters, ( events such as The day of the safe Internet, The day of kindness, Something cool for everyone), at the dwellers (happening, flash mob, muralia), at the workers of education from the region of partner schools ( the training summarizing the project) – not direct participants – about 9500 people. Thanks to our partner cooperation, we will create many didactic materials, lesson plans, work plans, worksheets in different languages, a film report from the whole project and a lot of guides: „ The ways of interaction” for the teachers and for the students „ Better together” written in English, available on the websites of the FB group, and on all the schools websites. Our products will contain also: a logo of the project, a register, promotional materials, leaflets, invitations, posters, certificates of participation and Mobility Europass We hope that the idea of the society which is open, tolerant, strong with the joy of life, full of the power of young people, who are able to communicate via the media, using the inventions of the civilizations in a safe way, will get, thanks to our project, to the biggest number of young Europeans, and the worked- out models and strategies how to deal with the rejected people, will become the effective tool for teachers of the European Union, which, in the long perspective will minimize the scale of this problem in many schools of the European community.
