Our Erasmus+ project entitled “Fair-play, Responsible, Inclusive, Emphatetic, Non-Violent and Dedicated School” was successfully completed and all the goals we set from the beginning were achieved. All the students of our school participated with great enthusiasm even those who had some disabilities had the opportunity to play a leading role. Our students gained confidence and they were so excited and happily looking forward to participating in other Erasmus projects. For the students it was the opportunity to communicate with young people in Europe, to improve their learning skills with new innovative programs, to study and discover knowledge through different approaches, to express their creativity beyond the narrow confines of our own education system, to travel and get to know different cultures and to become aware of their diversity, to break away from stereotypes and prejudices. Students developed their communication skills, their artistic sense, their team spirit and fair-play.

By developing these skills pupils attitudes changed in a positive way and they became more aware of the effects that school violence can have.
