Introduction

In a Europe we want to be united and now almost in “Constitution”, the contact between people of different member states is of great importance.

The Comenius Multilateral Projects aim at improving the initial or in-service training of teachers and other categories of personnel working in the school education sector to develop strategies or exchange experiences to improve the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom. Each project is expected to give rise to an identifiable outcome - e.g. a new curriculum, training course, methodology, teaching strategy, teaching material - which meets the training needs of a defined group of educational staff, taking account of the realities of each participating country.

Among the priorities of the 2009 call for proposal the European Commission underlined the importance of matching the Recommendation 2006/962/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 on key competences for lifelong learning, enabling all European citizens to acquire the basic life-skills necessary to grow up and to be active citizens.

The acquisition of such key competences, especially those considered as “transversal” (learning to learn; social and civic skills; cultural awareness and expression), in an early age is fundamental for the further cognitive and social development of pupils

This is to say that our schools are part of a partnership for a period of 2 years, under one-Comenius Multilateral Partnership. The theme that we will work with students is also important for us - "New Clans: group and individuality."

We hope that during this partnership we can broaden the horizons of our students; enrich their cultural awareness; develop their communication skills; and make them think about their role, rights and obligations as citizens of an increasingly common space.
