About Us
EUROPEAN CONTEXT
The European Cultural Capital event (ECOC) is arguably one of the most successful EU cultural programmes, attracting increasing interest from policy makers, academics and the media every year. 2017 celebrates the 32 anniversary of ECOC whose objectives are to:
- Highlight the richness and diversity of cultures in Europe;
- Celebrate the cultural features Europeans share;
- Increase European citizens' sense of belonging to a common cultural area;
- Foster the contribution of culture to the development of cities
SCHOOLS' RATIONALE
The school should help students to realize their belonging to the culture of the people to which they belong and to respect other peoples' culture. Through kind of education we will remove racist and xenophobic mentality, forming young people open minded and willing to meet other cultural values; they must keep the inheritance that they received it from their parents, being proud of these values and to transmit them to their descendents
Project's AIM is to develop our students' sense of belonging to their cultural roots, to help them understand and respect other cultures, breaking down stereotypes, discovering common bonds, being aware of their common European citizenship by theoretical information and practical activities in school, community and abroad.
OBJECTIVES:
1.improve the knowledge of different local cultures of Europe by producing sustainable modern materials that preserve our cultural identity

3. improve computer and Internet communications skills
4. create networks between European schools for experience exchange, cooperation for future projects.
