Bearing in mind the European 2020 Strategy, in the educational field, our aim is to:-Reduce the early school drop out rate to below 10%.-Increase the rate of 30-34 year old completing tertiary level education by at least 40%.-Increase the number of young people who continue their studies after the compulsory secondary education which is crucial for the proper development of individuals and communities within the Europen Union.In order to reach this goal, we have two main objectives:-Decreasing the number of pupils who drop out the C.S.E. (compulsory secondary education) before getting a certificate.-Scheduling a realistic second chance educational offer allowing them to return to the formal education, vocational training or toharmonize their personal and professional life.Adult educational providers are considered as second chance centers, as a mean of achieving the aforementioned aims.The main project objective is to develop working strategies for the schools to finally get said achievements.Our partnership is constituted of different schools at different stages belonging to different European countries in order to have alarger vision of the problem, thus to identify the main reasons of school failure and early school leaving.Having analyzed those reasons, we will elaborate and implement tools to solve those problems eventually, which are:- Early diagnosis of school failure.- Decalogue of succesful teaching-learning methods.- New learning and communication platforms such as e-Twinning.- Communication channels between teachers and students with the help of I.C.T.The project's activities will be about:- Presentation of the range of school environments.- Descriptive diagnosis of the early school drop out causes in each country.- Elaboration of questionnaires to help us find the causes of dropping out.- Job shadowing in each country.- Sharing and comparing those causes among the partners in order to find common aspects.- Compilation of lesson plans of different subjects to be gathered in a e-book format.- Creating and maintaining a website containing all the information and products developed within this project.- Sociocultural immersion.The activities will be developed by the staff, but students and the whole educational community will directly benefit from the resultsacquired. Special attention will be given to students with a school failure profile and at risk of social exclusion.The chosen methodology to carry out this Project is based on collaborative work among the staff of the different partners. Thiscollaborative work includes the sharing of tasks, taking decisions fairly and democratically. All the educational community will beinvolved in the Project directly or indirectly.The project will have an important impact on educators who are actively involved in the project: the exchange of experiences, newwork methods, contrasting strategies, etc.. It will also serve to improve the quality of adult education and to gain better cooperationbetween adult education institutions of the European Union.Those trainers who do not take an active part in the project will be influenced through meetings and seminars in which the teachersare involved.This diffusion among members of each institution will make the impact of this project have an effect on the quality of the collectiveeducation of adult students as well as the skills of teachers in motivating their students and mastering some latest newinnovative teaching methods which have been proved to be successful.Sharing this experience with other schools in the partner countries will bring added value for its organizers.The disclosure of each local and regional community, by means of specific documents developed within the framework of thisproject, conferences and meetings with other educational entities and the dissemination through the media (written press andproject website) will ensure the results to be spread to an even wider social network, contributing to present a common educationalvision within the diversity of a united Europe.The learning partnership hopes that the results and experience of the project can effectively contribute to improving access foradults to all levels of education and culture as it is the key to decreasing the risk of exclusion, ensuring and increasing participation inemployment opportunities and access to all resources, goods and services.As a result, the number of students who fail in certain subjects will decrease and the ones who drop out from school will alsodecrease considerably. With the charts, tables and graphs that we are going to elaborate, we will prove that educating people ismore profitable than ignoring early school drop outs.

"Our Strategic Partnerships project addresses several fields of education and training - Culinary Arts, Art History, Health education along with some elements of Museum education.The project main goals are to develop an innovative blended course, exchange of experience and know-hows between different types of organisations involved in education - 4 vocational high schools, 2 schools providing general secondary education and 1 training agency focusing on delivering classes for adults.The idea of the project is to promote teaching Culinary Arts in the Visual Arts Historical and Cultural Context, to involve our students into various activities related to arts and food consumption; to provide open access to such materials, documents and media, making them available for the public, both in printed and digital form. We have produced three Intellectual Outputs: - a course curriculum ""Food&Arts"", which can be used in both secondary schools ( within such subjects as ""Craft and Design"" or ""Technological Studies"" or an optional course or as an extra-curricula activity for school clubs) and in vocational schools which offer ""Culinary Arts"" studies; - an Open Educational Resource for the blended course ""Food&Arts"";- the Learning and Communication Environment which is an educational platform for setting up and maintaining of our blended course. Among the other project results and final products are:- the students' portfolios ""Food&Arts"", which contain any findings related to the topic ""How food was depicted in different periods of Art History"", such as pictures made by students; reproductions; photos; essays, reports, etc.; - exhibitions presenting numerous sets of a painting reproduction+a photo of the same dish made by students + the dish recipe; - videos ""Master class"" devoted to cooking dishes depicted on canvases; - collages about food sending a message about improving eating habits among students - collages contain not only food ingredients but also chemicals and were done as a junk food still life of pretzels, candy and cookies, or with empty junk food packages; - students' essays/reviews that contain a critical analysis of a work of art related to food; - a students' picture collection ‘Color and Visual Appearance in Foods’ made by using food (seeds, beans, etc.) as an art medium or subject to create foodscapes, paintings, sculptures; - fliers, promoting the project and its results as well as memory sticks, pens and pencils with the project website address.During the project cycle we held 3 transnational project meetings, 2 short-term joint staff training event, 1 short-term students' exchange and a multiplier event - a conference attended by 60 people, which contributed to disseminating the project results."
