"The project proposed a new approach to the development of transversal skills by implementing the concept of ""new education"" by acquiring knowledge and skills related to some of the new educations: Education for the environment, peace, health, democracy, communication and media, entrepreneurship, civic, leisure, personal development. The concept of New Educations has been launched by the Romanian teacher George Vaideanu in 1988 and they constitute proof of the involvement of the education systems in the popularization of problems of the contemporary world, hoping to find peaceful and viable solutions. The followed objectives were the ones established from the beginning:1. Improving the educational act by developing the transversal skills to 2,000 students 2. Increasing the quality of education by developing personal and professional skills to 300 teachers 3. Creating an international network of collaboration that will include schools and institutions working in the education and training of teaching staff for permanent exchange of best practices.The project gathered together nine organisations from seven countries: two NGOs - Edulife, the coordinator of the project, from RO and DEMA from ES, 6 schools from RO, IT, HR, TR and PL, and one enterprise, ATiT, from BE. The project had a modular structure, including nine modules, one per each education and each partner was in charge with one education. The distribution was according to the background and experience of each partner.Each partner proposed Methodological Guidelines - workshops scenarios - for all partners in order to develop those activities in schools; at least 5 activities per module were developed in each partner school, following the development of transversal skills to students and different personal and professional competences to teachers. Over 2000 students were involved in the activities of partner schools, growing their transversal skills. Workshops on the themes of New Educations with volunteers and trainers were organised in NGOs. Over 300 teachers and trainers from partner institutions developed their personal and professional skills. Workshops scenarios of all modules composed the Guide with methodological instructions for using New educations in order to develop transversal skills to students. The most significant results of activities (videos, pictures, posters etc.) were included in the large version of the Guide.The theoretical aspects of teaching each New Education were included in a course with nine chapters, one chapter for each New Education. The Guide and the Course were the Intellectual Outputs of the project, presented in six Multiplier events in six countries of the project partners.The website of the project www.new-educations.eu contains the main results of the project: newsletters, leaflets, brochures, posters, presentations and also the intellectual outputs in digital form. Project participants are pleased with the activities they have participated in, the knowledge they have gained and the skills they have developed: they better understand the concepts of each new education, they have understood that the manifestation of active and responsible social behavior is suited to a changing world, understood the importance of constructive interest in community issues. They have developed their team spirit and digital skills to better adapt to a changing society. Increasing the quality and attractiveness of the educational process by using the new teaching and learning methods and strategies as a result of the development of the professional and personal skills of the staff involved in the teaching process has had a great impact on the schools involved. The partner organizations have increased their visibility in Europe by popularizing the results achieved through their activities, and have strengthened their own organizational capacity and their own courage to develop themselves in the future by accessing European funds. The experience and intellectual results obtained within this project will be a strong starting point for future development actions, educational projects."
