Project Euritage refers to the social and educational value of the European cultural heritage as the source of our identification (Europe+heritage+identification=Euritage ID). The main aim of the project is an exchange of good practices in the field of activities connected with education, concentrating around European cultural and artistic heritage. We are planning to support the development of key skills and competences of both pupils and adults and counteract social isolation. The overriding aim of the project concerns two spheres – individual and social. On one hand – the participants will be discovering their regional heritage and identity, on the other hand by being in communication with representatives of faraway regions and their culture - they will learn the principles of tolerance and respect for people who are different. The step no three will be to find the similarities in all cultures to find the common – above regional – cultural heritage, of which part we all, Europeans, are. We are concerned about disappearance of local traditions and elements of folk customs, slowly being taken over by mass culture which , as we know, has strong impact on young people. Our aim is to rescue our regional heritage, at the same time to stress its diversity, which should be shared. It should enrich us and bring us closer. While working on the project each school will be responsible for one of five main topics: culinary art (starting with growing food plants to the final effect of preparing regional dishes), traditional crafts and artefacts, historical inheritance, regional music and dance, cultural landscape, including architecture.Having worked on these topics pupils will prepare educational materials in the form of five books written in English, using methods of sketch noting, scrapbooking or other artistic techniques. Pupils will also prepare, for the guests coming from partnering schools, workshops or educational paths/quests connected with the topic assigned to them. They will document their progress by filming and taking pictures (also podcasts and tutorials)and will prepare films propagating various regions.During those workshops knowledge delivered to students will go well beyond school curriculum and their key skills will improve. All tasks involving working on the project have been shared between schools according to everyone’s organisational conditions and competences of staff. During the course of the project we predict five short exchanges of pupils of which the main aim will be preparing workshops and organising theme trips/ quests.Meetings will last for 5 days, with 24 students and 8 teachers participating- quests from the partner schools and similar group of students who will represent hosting school.The project is directed to students aged 12-15 years old. We assume the project will last for two years but the results will be used in schools after the completing the project. In some actions the whole schools will be involved (fairs, some meetigs, lectures) this will be in favour of disseminating the ideas of the project and will allow to impact on a wider group than just people directly involved in it. Around 240 students will take part in workshops, and about 40 teachers which is about 25% of all people affected by the project. Among them there will be students with special educational needs and endangered with exclusion.The educational materials, created by students, such as booklets, tourist routs, will be used in schools well after the completion of project in the frame of regional and European education. Groups of experts (both teachers and students) will be passing on their experiences to the future generations of students within “older pupils teaching the younger ones”. All results of our work will be made public and available to be used by other schools and institutions interested in the topic.The conference crowning the whole project will be dedicated towards popularising the idea of the project and discussion over European and regional attitudes of members of the world of science (university students and lecturers). Our project will contribute towards greater interest in art, culture, history and languages of countries involved in our project. The predicted advantage of this programme is going to be consolidation and extension of cooperation between the partner schools and improving the quality of its work.

"The goal of the project ""Active, creative, enterprising"" is the exchange of practices between partner schools and the development of soft skills and basic skills of students as well as professional qualifications of teachers. We assume that the project will have a positive impact on developing the language skills of the participants by emphasizing the use of English in practical situations. We want to inspire teachers and support schools in teaching economics and shaping attitudes of entrepreneurship, creativity, social and economic activity. We recognize the need for early implementation of pupils for conscious participation in economic and social life. We encounter many problems which solution is to study economics and to shape entrepreneurship. The problem is the lack of students' interest in active participation in social and economic life, the perception of money as a superior value, the reluctance to undertake efforts related to education and work, and thus the threat of unemployment. We are observing an increase in expectations, with a lack of creativity, the ability to cope with stress, planning and managing time or resources, determining the goal and method of achieving it. Teachers are not prepared to teach and develop these skills and entrepreneurship. The project will be attended by students aged 12 to 15 years and teachers from 5 schools (up to 250 people in total). About 123 children and up to 40 teachers will take part in international meetings. In our activities, we will rely on activation methods, workshops and the method of an educational project. Participants will gain knowledge and shape skills through workshops organized during 5 short-term exchanges of groups of students. The topics and scope of the workshops are adapted to the possibilities of the schools that organize them. Classes will concern: theoretical foundations of entrepreneurship and shaping soft competences, developing creativity, (C1), creating a company, presenting and evaluating student projects (C2), social economy (C3), games as tools for teaching economics, including stock exchanges as a special kind games (C4), organizing student co-operatives and summarizing the project in the form of an international conference (C5) Students and teachers - as experts - after returning from the meetings they will share knowledge and skills, gain first-hand knowledge during meetings with specialists, people of success, entrepreneurs , enthusiasts, learn through practice (by implementing student projects) and play (using games), document the project by recording interviews, creating films, websites and newsletters. Students will combine their passions and talents with science. As part of the project, teachers will create teaching materials for studying economics and entrepreneurship, along with teaching materials for students. As a result of the actions taken, the competences and knowledge of project participants and people affected by it will increase. Students' activity will increase as well as their conviction that it is worth engaging in social and economic life, and that passion and talents can be used in shaping the career path. Students will be able to consciously make choices regarding further education and career choice. The results of the project will be educational materials, including documentary films, jointly developed methods of teaching economics and shaping entrepreneurship. We will develop a discussion on the inclusion of economics in school programs. We will show you how you can shape entrepreneurship in local communities, drawing teachers, parents, representatives of universities and the business world into the process. By implementing tasks during international meetings, we will increase the openness, sensitivity and ability to see similarities and differences resulting from local needs and living conditions among their participants. We will also show the variety of problems they may encounter in life, we will develop the ability to dialogue, make decisions, work in a team, discussions, search for solutions using various methods and resources, we will shape entrepreneurial attitudes through direct contact, dialogue, comparison possibilities, analysis of the situation and jointly draw conclusions. In the long-term, schools will be able to use the cooperation established with the universities and the business world established during the project implementation. The methods and materials developed will be used in partner schools and disseminated as good practices that can be used by other environments and institutions. In the long term, our project is a kind of investment in local markets, in the economic future of pupils, local communities, partner countries and the European community."
