"With regard to an extremely difficult economic situation in Europe (high unemployment rate in particular of youngsters e.g. in Spain) and to the lack of professional orientation in secondary schools (students & employers complain a lack of essential skills required on the labour market, high drop-out rate in apprenticeships & universities), we promoted in this project the sense of entrepreneurship and initiative: we made students the real actors in the framework of a ""Tourism advertising agency"". Tourism is economically the most important sector worldwide (share of the global economic output approx. 9.3 %). As an economic industry tourism creates a multiplier effect and offers about 230 millions jobs world-wide in different fields: mobility, hotel industry, entertainment and other service providers.The number of tourists is nowadays about 1,3 milliard (1950: 50 million) and will increase in the future (thanks to mobility, Internet etc.).But on the other hand tourism is a sector that contributes enormously to the destruction of resources (forests, water),to the increasing emission of CO2 and climate change. The incrusion into unspoiled landscape leads to a threat of biodiversity and cultural identity.Students are an important target group in terms of tourism today and tomorrow. We prepared them to behave as customers aware of environmental/social cognition & behaviour and considering the consequences of their acting. They discovered the natural and cultural richness of their areas and promoted it to young people all over Europe. Our areas were all less known in terms of tourism. Young people developed marketing ideas for peers that play an inferiour role in sustainable, regional tourism. Our project was carried out transnationally because tourism is an international business with a growing demand for international destinations and tourism agencies are often international enterprises. Protecting the environment is a global affair as well. Only international cooperation provided the opportunity to reduce the emission of CO2 and the waste of resources on a world wide scale. During the project term, we established a multinational ""Tourism advertising agency"" that was based on the commitment to the ""three-pillar-system of sustainability"": our products/services were in line with the insight that economic performance, social/cultural responsibility and protection of the natural environment are inseparable. European youngsters developed a sense of active citizenship and entrepreneurial thinking while acting in a ""Tourism advertising agency"". The promotion of entrepreneurship was a great need in all five partner schools in Sweden, Poland, Germany, Spain and Turkey.This project was brought to life through an intensive cooperation with NGO's,tourism management offices and ""green"" entreprises (e.g. in the field of ecological agriculture & forestry) at a local and regional level.Due to their Expertise, our students learnt practically about tourism management and developed the promotional design of the tourism brochures.These leaflets promoted - with the view to youngsters - the treasures of the very different areas in which our partner schools are located: from the north of Europe (Sweden) to the center (Poland, Germany),the southwest (Spain) and the southeast of Europe (Turkey). Our schools have developed environmental and ICT competences which were connected to entrepreneurial thinking in this project. The students created collaboratively a mobile application and web site ""Youngtourism.com"" which are important tools to reach this generation. The mobile application contained general information,services, activities,maps,networks etc. In terms of the current importance of ""e-tourism"" these digital ways of promotion are future-orientated and helped to increase the digital competences of our students.These tools will be in use after the completion of the project. IThe tourism brochures are used in schools during multidisciplinary activities (geography, natural sciences, solcial studies, languages etc.) and in preparation of local school excursions. They were offered to local & regional marketing offices in order to disseminate the impact of regional tourism and to arouse European youngster's interest for the local areas. By promoting regional tourism, competences in foreign languages were promoted.The eTwinning platform played an essential role in our project: During the four learning meetings (exploration of the area and creation of promotional ideas) & the periods in-between, the participants of the project (students, teachers&stakeholders) exchanged their results concerning tourism and the design of the tourism brochures.They used this platform for ICT activities & networking.All in all, the outcomes and results as well as the feedback given by all different participants of the project show the fantastic success of our project.

In its capacity our partnership is proposing to develop,create and operate innovative teaching and learning materials that may be used at different High schools and can be transfered to different classes and education systems such as an online game,an interactive comics,an interactive travel guide on the thematic trip of Hercules with the contribution of pupils at different partner schools.With the help of the open access learning platform and pysical mobilities,we will be providing the teachers to enhance their abilities of innovative approachesand implement them into their own experiences.Our partnership is formed with a NGO, two universities and 6 different High Schools.There will be 6 project meeting,4 works of pupils,2 joint staff meeting and 1 long term pupil mobility carried out during the project. We aim to probe into the labours of the mythological hero Hercules,being used as a means of working on different cultures around Europe using ICT tools. Our organisations are mainly situated at places where the labours of Hercules is believed to have taken place. The new labours will then be appointed to him about the cultural values of the partner organisations that affect our European community and we will implement interactive comic for windows/mac computers and extensively to android and IOS .The main concentration of our pupils will be the cultural diversity and the strategic use of the ICT tools .Also we want to enable the teaching staff at our partner organisations to acquire the use of the technology in their respective teaching experiences with the support of ASPETE and HACETTEPE UNIVERSITY,which are specialized in the promotion of applied research in pedagogical applications of ICT in Education , educational technology and pedagogy. .In this respect each project meeting will be embedded by the short term activities for learners and joint staff training events. The aim of these events will to enable both the pupils and the teachers to acquire enough information that they will make use of during the project activities by the two partner such as the interactive comics and the travel guide. Supposedly the indispensable part of the mythology was the language Ancient Greek which is not a part of the curriculum in some of the partner countries. We also want to help students summon up the courage to learn enough Ancient Greek understand the inscriptions on the historical sites integrating it into the online game and the other outputs .All the target objectives will also be carried out on the online learning and teaching platforms. The experiences gained during the events then will be used to contribute in creating the outputs of the partnership such as the online game , an interactive comics prepared with the ICT tools an thematical travel guide of the Trips of Hercules etc. We also want to help the pupils to pay enough value on the diversity of cultures,the historical places, and the idea of common European citizenship. We will carry out the partnership with an etwinning project to help students to acquire knowledge of web 2.0 tools and to reinforce interaction between partners. For this purpose, we will run activities through the eTwinning platform. The activities will also enhance their competence in foreign languages.In some of the partner schools there are a considerable number of students with special needs. In order to assure the integration of these students in the development of our project we will design activities which will allow us to Involve students in modeling activities through the use of ICT skills for laptops, tablets and mobiles,we will help dyslexic and dysgraphic students or poor spellers to get good results,ensure that students in difficult financial situations, improve language skills of students to promote cooperative learning. We want to provide students to built their own interactive community of informed and passionate individuals as proud of their European as well as national identity by helping to exchange the idea of Europe in the eyes of them through a fun experience on the basis of our common heritage and the culture as well as creating materials that will be used after projecAll in all we want to increase the the quality of education and improve the capacities of our organisations by promoting the use of the outcomes we will achieve during our project and take up innovative practices in education to make more modern,dynamic,and professional environment inside our organisations. Moreover we want to enable pupils to promote greater understanding and responsiveness to social,linguistic and cultural diversity with the increased competence level of foreign languages and ICT tools and validate the participants recognition and abilities through European reference tool EUROPASS and raise the opportunity to be awarded the European Language label for our efforts to teach Ancient Greek with innovative approaches.
