Starting from the idea that all the young, irrespective of the geographical area they live in, are attracted by the new technologies, the partnership aims at creating and developing a flexible innovative learning environment using specific didactic and pedagogical methods with the final goal of capturing the interest and increasing the motivation of the young adults, in order to determine them to study throughout their whole lifetime.

The main objective of the project is to create a new learning environment in which young people in risk of being “early school leavers” can develop their creative talent in close cooperation with their European counterparts, through the means of communication technology.

Specific objectives:

•Improving the attractiveness of learning;

•Expressing creativity through photography, using ICT in learning processes;

•Learning English as a means of communication with other European young people;

•Facilitating social integration of young adults, according to their own aspirations;
