The added value of the learning and teaching activities which we implemented in our project time is the promotion of the creative teaching and creative learning as necessary condition to improve the educational environment at schools and to respond on the  needs of the modern society.

The  project aim  received it's implementation  through workshops for teaching and learning creatively which were held during the partners meetings in Spain –December 2016, Portugal-April 2017, Greece-November 2017 and in England in April 2018.

We made 48 workshops to present end learn different creative, innovative techniques and methods for teaching and learning different subjects at school- Mathematic, History, Geography, English language, Social science and humanity, Chemistry, ICT, Physics, Biology, Music, Drama.

 Teachers from the partners countries lead this workshops according to their competence and experience in the relevant aria. Participating teachers observed and discovered  different ways to be innovative and ingenious. In our opinion the best teaching model is the one which  are developed  skills in the practice of the creative teaching. Students will learn to think creatively when they are exhibited on creative teaching by their teachers . Participating teachers in the project workshops  shared the newly learned methods with teachers and students in their own schools who did not participated in the motilities. This type of communication improved the teaching environment in all participating schools and  responded on the  needs of the modern societ

A very vivid group representing seven countries from all over Europe with different traditions in education of course bit also, surprisingly you might think, familiar with the basic ideas in a lot of what came up during the workshops -  such as the will to to have students to involve also physically in actvities in the approaches to traditional curricalum, e.g. The Greek Philosophy - my favourite workshop presented in Athen in November 2017.

Working with partners have been a pleasure - so many different tempers to mould a common result and bringing joy and inspiration for the future!

And of course not least to mention - students having the possibilty to stay and live with hostfamilies and getting close to living in another part of Europe - breaking barriers!

Due to the international meetings our students have had the oppotunity of hosting and being hosted, getting to know other cultures from the bosom of families. These stays in the participating countries helped them to spread and interiorize their European vison. This fact is relevant as we all know we are confronting a complex situation about Europe and its future

Creative Teaching and Learning, a challenging, multipartnered project has specifically opened new doors to different approaches to teaching and learning. Seven schools/countries from distant parts in Europe have brought along their knowledge, their experience, their vision of the world and turned them into a more dynamic, updated, creative way to approach teaching. 

The whole school community - students and teachers - has benefited from a myriad of different workshops presented on several different subjects, and on a behavioural/social level, also staff and parents have witnessed some changes.

Team work and collaborative practices have been fostered and better social skills come along with this, which is a major plus for education in general.

All in all, we feel pleased and fulfilled with the results, even though the paths we followed were sometimes difficult and challenging.

How to approach teaching in a more creative and diverse way

new tools and ideas

I learned a lot of new things in Economics and Chemistry.

I learned working in a team but also overcome my fears of being exposed as an individual.

I’ve learnt to be more creative and to think a lot when I study and I really liked everything because it’s really different from the usual things.

A couple of interesting presentations/talks.workshop and collaboration

Some different tools we can apply in our lessons in order to be more dynamics

Different ways to engage a full audience.

A lot of workshops and a lot of impressions - bit difficult to oint out anything specific but a lot of creativity input in my brain!There were many workshops, indeed. I learned a lot about Greek philosophers.

The only workshop I remember was the one where we made presentations and I learned how to use new programs that I haven't see
