Target group:

The project targets secondary school pupils aged 15 - 19 years old. Each participating school will engage all the students willing to participate (at least 15) aged 15-19 and at least 3 teachers to help with the realization of the project and also take part in transnational Partners meetings. Teachers will support the students and share good practices with teachers from partner countries. These teachers and pupils will take part in all kinds of events and activities that will be prepared at hosting schools. They will be involved in updating information on the project's website, and social media and managing the YouTube channel. They will prepare presentations, posters, and additional materials both during the project and dissemination. They will take care of the visiting participants on the school premises. All the project's activities will make it possible for them to make new friends with other students from many European countries, practise their foreign language skills, break prejudices and stereotypes, learn new skills, and gain knowledge. Indirect participants will be a wider group of students of the same age as well as teachers. They will take part in conferences, will have access to outcomes, and will be asked to fill out some questionnaires.
