As educators of teenager students living in Europe and facing challenges of the 21st century, we – teachers - feel the responsibility to help them acquire basic literacy, digital, as well as transversal skills, develop their potential and self-confidence, teach them to be responsible and active citizens, to dare taking risks and initiatives and value lifelong learning opportunities. Nowadays it is very important to respect diversity and appreciate multiculturalism, to be open to different ways of thinking and acting.Our project focused on the Arts, ICTs and creativity as means to challenge the usual teacher-centered way of teaching and a way to increase performance in relevant school subjects and stimulate activate participation in extra-curricular activities. Successful combination of creative classroom and the Arts/Crafts techniques, such as a role play and improvisation, rhythm, music and dance, painting and creative writing, with the latest up-to-date technologies, tools and apps definitely enhanced our students' self-esteem, helped to involve them in the learning process more actively, strengthened teacher/student bonds, developed our mutual confidence, encouraged active participation and interaction, and stimulated motivation to do and participate.Moreover, we are convinced that active involvement in diverse topic- related workshops and application of interactive learning strategies enriched the process of teaching and learning itself, provoked our students interest, trained critical and creative thinking skills, improved problem solving skills and promoted leadership growth. Literacy, ICT skills and better command of the English language, have also been important aspects of our project.Another significant objective was to work with teachers, involve them in the project activities and to highlight their role as educators. Teachers shared their practices, exchanged ideas and experiences, challenged conceived perceptions of teaching, as well as usual ways of doing things in the classroom.Our profile of participants was very varied, consisting of 6 different partners: a small state gymnasium from Latvia with great experience in music, dance, artworks, digital classroom teaching skills and outstanding results in Robotics; a secondary vocational school with emphasis on ICTs from a rural area of Spain experienced in implementing European projects with students of various backgrounds; an enormous Portuguese school working on improvement of the staff management, educational orientation, school success and educational service issues; a small gymnasium from Greece experienced in drama and creative classroom techniques; a remote school from Finland making all the effort to support all students individually; a multinational school from Italy with high performance in Tourism Management, Hospitality, Culinary, Confectionery and Patisserie Arts.This diversity was highly beneficial to implementation of our project and reaching the targeted results.The activities included practical workshops based on combination of the Arts, modern ICTs tools and apps, and creativity: collaborative poetry, story and script writing, film and video making, creative classroom practices, research on the topic etc. During the workshops students and teachers felt free to express themselves in a collaborative environment, interacted and learnt from each other, produced various digital materials. Apart from that, students learned new ICT tools and apps through tutorials, prepared various PPPs, films about their and their partners' country, participated in the Logo design contest, wrote articles and releases, composed the project song, communicated with each other via social networks, e-mail etc. There was also a website, a project section on Twinspace and the school websites for uploading project materials, photos, videos and reports of the events. Before each trip we tried to learn some simple phrases in a host language, as a result the project glossary in 7 languages was made.The methodology applied in the activities included collaborative team work, creative writing, story writing and telling, drama/theatre techniques such as mime, role play, freezing scenes, improvisation, handicrafts, dance and rhythm, ICT tools and apps. The main principle was equal participation of all partners, tolerance and respect of the different, either related to culture or a disadvantaged background.Through our project we sought ways not only to help students unfold their talents and change the way they view school, but also encouraged our students and staff to become more active members of society. We disseminated our project activities and results via school, local or regional media, various meetings, seminars and events.The project long- term benefits are to enrich teachers' professional development by using innovative teaching methods, promote European spirit in the schools and prepare us to deal with the 21st century challenges more successfully.
