"The partnership consisted of schools from seven countries (Romania, Portugal, Turkey, Greece, Croatia, Italy and Czech Republic) with a rich contribution to European spiritual and cultural heritage. The “Unesco Heritage” Project brought together our desire as teachers to teach our students how to be taught by the past and recognize the importance of sustaining, preserving and appreciating it. We are all part of a whole; we should cherish what unites us.Cultural heritage is under severe economical and social pressure. It was imperative that we campaign for its defense and preservation as something unique and unrepeatable. It was a social and political urgency since contemplating about our past can only lead to better educated decisions about our future.We aimed to raise awareness so that governments, pressured by public opinion, change their misleading politics concerning heritage. We considered that it was the school’s duty, as a teaching and educational institution, to instill in the youth and in the school community, the values of defending and preserving our cultural heritage thus creating active and interventional citizens. We believed it was urgent to awake consciences, educate to change mentalities and create a new generation of concerned citizens who can relate to their roots, heritage and realize the need to preserve it. This project intended to stimulate the pursuit and consolidation of knowledge in our youth. In a playful and innovative way, we tried to motivate the students for a lifelong learning and instill in them the importance of school in this process.Our work proposal also aimed to develop good practices leading to the consolidation of concrete objectives in the Social Entrepreneurship, since the main purpose of it was to change mentalities and attitudes to historical heritage, helping to enhance conservation ethic. It was intended to provide the conditions so that the younger generations could educate themselves on the importance of the preservation of our cultural and natural heritage, which, moreover, constitute our collective memory. We proposed to develop creative and innovative ideas that seek to minimize the social problem of forgetfulness and lack of sensitivity towards historical values.Cultural heritage is not to be taken for granted. We needed feed it , preserve and cherish it as a true life form.We accomplishrd the activities planned by our partnership:1. A common web page for communication (forum for teachers, school presentations, photos and a forum for students) and dissemination.2. Workshops on new educational tools and strategies .3.
