    When schools tell students to put technology away, it's like asking a doctor to save a life with one hand tied behind his back. As it is mentioned in the saying of Matt Miller, today's world is full of technology and it plays an important role in education, too. We have to realize that students are not the students of our generation where they sit and listen. Things have changed now, they have new toys such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, etc. The methods and techniques in teaching need to keep up with the requirements of the modern world and find new, motivational strategies. The digital storytelling technique is one of the activities which has started to be used by innovative teachers nowadays. The researchers state that students can learn more easily by digital storytelling techniques. We have realized that many students and teachers are unfamiliar with this concept. As a result, we have decided to choose the digital storytelling technique as the main theme of the project. We aim to carry out this project to familiarize students and the staff with different and more enjoyable teaching and learning techniques, to create the most appropriate atmosphere at schools in order to improve academic results. We would like to reach these goals by exchanges of good practices of the participating schools to get inspired by their different and innovative methods through the cooperation of the teachers and students of the partner schools. We would like to create international groups of our staff organized on the basis of subjects taught by them and of course our students will take part in this project, too, as we want to see their ideas about how we can make our schools more attractive places. The teachers and the students are expected to use the digital storytelling technique in the school environment. At the end of the project, the teachers and the students will have learned to use this technique effectively. Participants will integrate ICT tools in their learning process and have the opportunity to develop their language and social skills. There will also be a cultural exchange among the participants. There will be six partner schools from Belgium, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Turkey. The age of the students from participant countries ranges from 15 to 19. The subjects of the teachers from the participant countries are ICT, English language, Literature, and History. We want to support the professional development of our teachers in using new ICT methodologies in teaching. It is also essential for the teachers of our age to know and use English no matter what subjects they teach. By setting out with this idea, we think that two short term joint staff training courses about ICT web tools and digital storytelling will be appropriate for them. In this way, they will master the whole thing that project and the students may need.They will also work on using innovative student-centered pedagogical approaches, new kinds of tasks for students to solve which can make teaching and learning more effective. Students should complete these different sorts of tasks and activities focusing on project-based learning and share their tasks and works via the eTwinning platform, so they can realize their knowledge, skills, and awareness of their own capacities. There will be four short term students exchange meetings during the project. Thus and so, they will have a chance to work in an international group and this new learning environment can help them to develop a more positive attitude towards learning. It is a key point in this project which will be a motivating experience both for teachers and students. This project will enhance ICT based teaching, learning, assessment practices as well as multilingualism in the teaching-learning process. Hopefully, our project will have a great impact on our staff, students and last but not least on our institutions. First, working on the project our staff will improve the quality of teaching by gathering fresh teaching ideas and approaches. It will be possible to motivate students who are harder and harder to engage in traditional school activities and consequently their academic results will be better. The participating schools will carry out a European project which will help to attain a higher status to our schools. The results of this project will bring longer-term benefits to our schools as the teachers will get used to using innovative methods, they can share their experiences with their colleagues. In addition, we will be able to renew our curricula in line with the objectives and results of the project, so we will be able to use this technique widely for years. In the course of the project through cooperation, both students and teachers will learn how to teach, learn and live in multicultural Europe.
