A subject of this enterprise is to get familiar and show the nature’s influence on a human being’s emotional development. Nature with its richness of sounds, colours , flora and fauna is a safe place soothing negative emotions and ideal to influence on the students’ behavior. We will show the beauty of nature and its impact on our emotions, in the same way we will try to affect our students in order to limit socially unacceptable behaviours. We want the project participants to show their creativity and creative interpretation in this field. The project participants will be acquainted not only with the beauty of nature but with its positive impact on our emotions as well. We will hand over a message:’’ Nature soothes the customs”. The beauty of the places crucial for us in terms of cultural, cognitive and emotional value will be presented. We will focus on discovering and getting familiar with those places as well as showing their role in a human being emotional development and nature’s impact on eliminating unacceptable behaviours. We will carry out educational classes with applying parts of the art therapy with a participation of the teachers and students from the partner countries. The teachers will exchange their experiences, prepare innovative lesson summaries, also for disabled students ,which will be mutually carried out. The students will improve their English skills owing to individual contacts with the peers and ICT devices. Art- literary competitions, vernissages, happenings, educational projects, workshops will be held in order to get information relating to nature ‘s impact on our emotions. We will aspire to develop abilities to express and recognize emotions by using nature’s colours and sounds. The participants will also get to know the most outstanding artistic and musical works referring to nature beauty. Art will be used to express ourselves emotionally. A mutual dependence of a human being and the nature will be shown as well. We will strive to develop an ability to recognize emotions by organizing classes of interpersonal communication and shaping pro -social attitudes. During the project task realization we will focus on improving the competences that are crucial for getting to know and understanding the surrounding reality. The project participants will be got acquainted with the art therapy method and using it as a therapeutic tool in order to limit students’ behaviors that are not acceptable in societies. Use of the richness of nature, combining it with the methods of the art therapy will allow the project participants not only to recognise, control their emotions but act better in the society that will contribute to better knowledge acquisition. The project tasks realization will be simultaneously performed in the project schools. Each partner will enrich the project of their own ideas that will contribute to realising project assumptions in a better way.
