The Project

Teenagers are always part of groups who have an influence on their behaviour, be it a family, a class, a group of friends or a virtual community. If you don’t belong to the group you are apart from real teenage social life and school life. These groups are like clans: they have their own rules and activities. But do all teenagers in Europe behave like this? The core topic of this project action is to learn to value differences and to develop through contact with difference, to reflect about one’s own behaviour and understand the dynamics of groups in a negative way , of eventual dangers and risks of the imitation as for drugs, violence and alcohol, but also to be aware of the positive aspects while staying together with the peers. Through the whole process our students will be tutored by teachers during curriculum subjects and or non-curriculum school activities. It is expected, for pupils and teachers, that familiarization with other cultures will be significantly increased, international cooperation enlarged and strengthened, second language competences improved. The project might have even an impact on pupils’ future career decisions. Teachers will have an opportunity to exchange practices of teaching methods and approaches, as well as upgrading of their professional knowledge and skills.
