Yet ,migration is the biggest challenge countries worlwide need to face as people will continue looking for better opportunities. One of the main challenges of our time is the acceptance of the presence of migrants and their inclusion in European societies. Freedom of movement is one of the cornerstones of EU policy. Worldwide, millions of people are on the move either as a result of war, discrimination, social inequality or economic deprival, they do all hope to find a better future elsewhere. As a result, Europe needs more cohesive and inclusive societies which allow citizens to play an active role and this can be done through education not only to prevent violent radicalisation by promoting common European values, but also to foster social integration, enhancing intercultural understanding and a sense of belonging to a community. But there is still no clear European strategy helping to deal with the problems faced by those people, rising hostilities against refugees, the over-securitization of borders and military solutions such as hunting escape helpers or criminalising rescue helpers at sea. What is sure is that people will continue looking for better opportunities. One of the main challenges of our time is the acceptance of the presence of migrants and their inclusion in European societies.
Therefore, our project aims to develop a network of cooperartion among students and teachers across Europe in order to develop efficient and challenging approches to promote integration, a deeper understanding and appreciation for national and European cultural values. Further, we would like to develop intercultural knowledge and linguistic competences along with civic and artistic skills among students to enhance their creativity and imagination and boost their motivation for learning and school performances either in formal, non-formal and informal environments. Another object that our project highlights is the development of an international network so as to share and confront ideas, practices and methods so as to address the issues education faces nowadays.
