Create – Care, React, Engage, and Act Tenaciously- for a Healthy World

These are the keywords that connect six partner countries from different parts of Europe in a unified effort. Together, they aim to offer students the opportunity to view and understand the challenges faced by modern humanity with enthusiasm and dedication. The six countries—The Czech Republic, Lithuania, Italy, Slovakia, Spain, and Romania—are collaborating over two years, bringing diverse perspectives to the project. The distinct geographic locations within the EU—from coastal areas to regions close to conflict zones, Mediterranean locations, and parts of Central and Eastern Europe—provide varied viewpoints that raise awareness among our students about EU values, and important social and political issues such as war, migration, and climate change, fostering responsible young individuals who will advocate for a better future.

By promoting social engagement through project activities, we aim to deepen students’ understanding of cultural diversity and European shared values. When students take on roles as reporters, humanitarians, politicians, and environmentalists, they develop an appreciation and understanding of these perspectives. Actively participating in project tasks, they take responsibility for their environment and communities while also developing skills in creative thinking, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship through hands-on experiences. Their growth is evident as they complete specific project assignments, which reinforce environmental awareness, social responsibility, career-building, and cultural diversity consciousness.

Both locally organized tasks and trips to the five partner countries, as well as online meetings, place students in real-world learning situations, adding experiential learning to the classroom knowledge they acquire. Our goal is to make teaching and learning more practical, helping students encounter different life scenarios while developing project outputs, preparing them to build a healthier and brighter future independently.

While the project includes themes such as religion, faith, tourism, business, marketing, mathematics, technology, and science, our students work collaboratively and tenaciously to create, as the project title suggests. We aim to develop key competencies, addressing critical topics such as climate change, war, migration, and poverty.

We promote environmental awareness by encouraging sustainable living, incorporating recycling, healthy lifestyle practices, and eco-friendly skills to reduce pollution. Activities are conducted in an eco-conscious manner using digital tools, contributing to digital education by producing project outputs digitally. Career-building is also a priority, engaging students in creating eco-friendly business plans, which are then reviewed internationally. We foster communication skills in foreign languages and strengthen international relations by hosting foreign students, traveling abroad to gain experience, and even collaborating to write adventure novels in different languages.

Social skills development is a continual focus throughout the project. Students participate in out-of-school activities, strengthening their understanding and interest in societal issues. By involving them in humanitarian activities, they learn how to take responsibility for themselves, each other, and their communities.

Over the course of this two-year project, we address four main themes:

Acceptance of cultural diversity while enhancing native and foreign language communication;

Environmental awareness alongside strengthening mathematical, scientific, and technological competencies;

Development of eco-friendly and entrepreneurial skills;

Social, civic, and humanitarian engagement while building civic competencies.

In promoting sustainable living, social inclusion, career development, and civic engagement, students learn to think independently, take responsibility, and prepare to engage in societal life with self-discipline, openness, and resilience in a healthy environment. Their development is supported by both non-formal and informal methods within the project, and the knowledge and experiences gained are incorporated into the formal school curriculum to ensure the sustainability of the project outcomes.
