"The Project ""Our Heritage: Where the Past Meets the Future"" was implemented by a partnership consisting of five secondary schools from different European countries: Estonia, Turkey, Holland, Crotia and Czech Republic. All of them are state general education schools. Most of them are UNESCO associated schools and experts in implementing art and culture in general education. 2018 is the European Year of Cultural Heritage (EYCH). Cultural heritage became an EU priority with the European Agenda for Culture in 2007. By means of this special year, we wanted to carry out this project to increase the importance of art and culture education at schools, to draw attention to cultural heritage that brings communities together. Our project's context is art-culture, cultural heritage, the implementation of 21st century students' skills into general, art and culture education at schools. The project was community-centered. By collaboration with various local institutions and informal groups of people, we tried to enhance the local social capital in our city and make it a better place to live. The project offered an extremely stimulating and developing experience for the students that can change their attitudes and perception of the world, influence their life choices, give them the drive to pursue their aims, bring out their hidden skills, help them to become active and conscious members of their local communities, nations and truly European citizens. It was a two-year project. We carried out 4 LTT activities. We had to deal with various forms of art and culture such as traditional dance, songs, poetry, cuision, drama, film, photo, ceremony, clothing, customs, visual arts and using them to trigger and develop artistic-cultural perspective of students, to help them enriching and bringing out their hidden 21st Century skills. By using non-academic activities of artistic creation we wanted to attract the high intelligence students who don't have time to bring out their skills or the students who don't want to participate in social activities or who see art and culture unnecessary because of the technological development, who are marginalised at school , who have domestic-economic problems and give them a chance to feel important, build their personality and self-confidence. Moreover, working together with representatives of other nations' art and culture institutions we tried to raise awareness of linguistic, artistic and cultural diversity of Europe. We have created joint end products: the logo of the project, the project anthem, a cookbook, a film showing students of all partner schools folk or modern dances, a photo album presenting cultural heritage music instruments and DVD accompanied with their music, a photo album showing different culture feature, an art album. To achieve objectives of our project, we did various kinds of activities, such as workshops, competitions, exhibitions, evaluations... that other institutions like other schools in our localities, art and culture centres, music schools, cinemas, amateur theatres, dance groups, music bands, children homes, old people homes could also take part in. The activities are aimed not only to create the end products, but also to form attitudes of entrepreneurship and leadership, teach teamwork skills, perform well in new situations, cooperate with people of different backgrounds, develop 21st century students skills, develop foreign language skill, form resources for UNESCO, learn new teaching methods, form a sense of national identity by attending lessons in museums, art galleries and other cultural institutions. Project-based learning, live and learn (learning through experience model), individual model, social interaction model, Evaluation methods, Enquiry-based learning approach, Question-answer, Discussion, Brainstorming, Hands-on method, Place-based education to ensure active involvement of the students in the activities are methodologies while we were implementing the project. The project is student-centered, the students took an active part in all project activities at all stages from preparation to evaluation, dissemination of its results and teachers only guided them . We have uploaded all the tangible project results to the school websites, the joint project website and to the European database - in national languages and English, so that people all over the world interested in them can download them and use them free of charge."
