Promote the message that all human-beings are entitled to have equal opportunities in their lives without being discriminated or rejected based on their gender, sex, color, religion, origin and any disability. Number and profile of participant organizations The participant organizations involved in the process are professional training centre and schools of secondary education. There are six in the project:Techniki Scholi Larnakas (Cyprus)2nd Lykeo of Kalamata (Greece)Ogrenciden Armagan Anadolu Lisesi (Turkey)Colegiul Energetic (Romania)Kauno buitiniu paslaugu ir verslo mokykla (Lithuania)Höhere Technische Bunderslehr – und Versuchsanstalt Wiener Neustadt (Austria)Description of main activities undertaken In each meeting, teachers will be informed about the main education strategy and privilege of the visited country by experts and representatives from the local ministry of education. Teachers will develop: good examples of strategies of how to transmit the basic humanitarian values (mainly increasing tolerance, non discrimination and non prejudicement) in education of social sciences like history art, and sport, curriculum materials, learning and teaching resources and different survey types. The results will be written in the Euro-human project booklet. Equality, equal rights, human rights are all concepts that are difficult to interpret and apply. We will try through seminars, workshops, local organizations, media and guest speakers to explain these concepts and expand people's perception and feelings. Students will have interactive workshops on the aforementioned topics with the guidance of their teachers and have multinational experiences to feel and take the responsibility of being humanistic individuals in the society. Brain storming, on line communication, student centered and interactive methods will be used during the workshops. Teachers and students will visit some art, history museums and see some examples of humanitarian displays. The project photos and other documents will be downloaded in e twinning platform and web site. Seminars will be organized for the dissemination of the project in each country .The booklets and brochures will be delivered and the project impacts, results, recommendations to the other schools will be declared by press. We will involve different students paying special attention to those disadvantaged for socio-economic reasons. We will involve pupils in the evaluation process, with questionnaires, focus groups, feedbacks on activities carried on.Long-term benefits ""ERGO"" will promote intercultural education, and/or help combat racism/xenophobia: it will reveal students' diversity and richness of the European civilization and prevent possible stereotypes and xenophobia existing in our nations.We strongly believe that “ERGO” will encourage young Europeans to understand someone of different nationality, race, religion, gender, sex which is the evidence of acceptance and respect for diversity. Additionally will enhance students’ self confidence and other personal qualities regardless of their differences of any kind as they will learn no to judge the physical but instead trying to understand the deeper roots of their psyche and the hardships a person may face.The project will disseminate the message: ""The effort for equal rights and opportunities is lasting, timeless and everyday""."

"The European Union is an alliance that enables Member States to live in peace and prosperity. This alliance sees itself increasingly in distress because of the Brexit and much more importantly the strengthening of nationalism. The European Union was founded as an economic alliance. Today it is much more. It is an alliance of cultures that share similarities and differences. It is our task as next generation educators to prove that cooperation and democratic decision-making make living together in the world easier than isolation and xenophobia. Because only through knowledge can strangers become friends, it is of great necessity to establish contact between cultures on the smallest possible level. All the more value is attached to this project if, in the course of project work, one thinks about one's own culture and then, in the mobilities, contact is made possible with other children of foreign cultures who have done exactly the same thing. What do we have in common? What are the differences between us? Why are we all Europeans? These questions will always be in the background in all activities of this project and will be given a focus at the end of each mobility.How do we get the students to think about their own culture? From our point of view, the best thing to do is to think about museums. A museum is a place where the collective memory of a society sits. This is where things are stored that create identity. It surrounds an aura of authenticity that we cannot simulate in schools. The title ""aMUSE(U)Ment.eu"" is intended to clarify the place of learning for our project. In well-chosen museums, the pupils are to deal creatively and pleasurably with Europe and the cultural heritage of their nation and their own time. Museums today are also places with a digital presence. At the end of the project, the museum spaces created by pupils will be translated into the virtual world, so that anyone interested can see how the pupils define their own cultural heritage.The main objective of the project is to sensitise pupils to their own culture. What is the nature of the society in which I live? A main focus is to recognize similarities and differences between one's own culture and other cultures. Trust in a democracy, the conviction that economic cooperation is worth more than war and that one can achieve more as a community of states than each state individually. Many values and moral concepts are common. There are as many small differences as there are larger differences than there are religious differences or simply the clothes they wear. The students will realize that despite the obvious differences, the morals that are not immediately visible are very similar. In preparation of creating the museum room of their own culture heritage the children will visit museums to learn how a museum is structured, what kind of things lie in museums and what information do they have to give visiting people.The self-made museum rooms form the basis for exciting discussions between the pupils, as they each deal with something different thematically (communication technologies, professions, migration, every day culture), but always reveal the convictions of the pupils as to what they consider to be their cultural heritage at that moment. Pupils learn to speak an create materials in English. They will acquire basal computer skills. The museum will combine working with hands and working on a computer. The exhibits and a guided tour of the museum room are created using modern technology. This also includes the creation of a catalogue of the exhibits and their significance as an ebook. Attending workshops of good practice in digitalizing and know-how of practical computer tools will be take place during the mobility in Austria.Every school has a profile. The German school, for example, attaches great importance to the vocational preparation of its pupils. The Austrian school clearly focuses on digital education. Due to the different profiles, the pupils involved in the project will make very good progress in various areas. In particular, basic language and computer skills will be promoted. But key competences are also acquired, such as the ability to participate in society, to communicate in groups and the willingness to face unknown problems and solve them creatively.Thus the project ""www.aMUSE(U)Ment.eu - Youth thinking about their recent cultural heritage"" combines the fun of working in and with museums with the great mental challenge of discovering the unifying element of all Europeans hidden in our culture: our common moral concepts and the art that unites us all through our common societal origins. People form society, Europe is about every singel individual. Because each individual is a facet of the one Europe, we begin to dig to write a history of Europe of the future from fragments."
