Innovation environment

This project aimed to cultivate a positive school environment and create a supportive atmosphere conducive to learning and personal growth. Such environments encourage multidisciplinary collaboration among students and teachers across diverse cultural backgrounds.

The inclusion of international student exchanges and collaborative tasks actively engages them in their education and fosters teamwork and communication skills. 

Teachers’ role

Teachers act as agents of innovation by implementing value-based education to address social media bullying. Through their involvement, they enhance their own competencies in digital literacy and educational approaches. By integrating ICT tools, they also engage students creatively. Teachers collaborate across borders, exchanging good practices and adapting teaching methods to diverse cultural contexts. They also facilitate international exchanges and collaborative projects.

By tackling bullying on social media and promoting value-based education, the project fostered a safer and more supportive school environment. Through international exchanges and collaborative activities, students develop skills which will prepare them for active citizenship in a globalised world.
