"In order to create the European Citizen Profile that values what to do for people and for the planet towards a sustainable Europe, six secondary schools from Croatia, Estonia, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Turkey with different backgrounds, but with common interests and concerns prepared the strategic partnership ""YES"" involving students aged between 14 and 18 years old in each school.By improving working methods, exchanging methodologies and sharing good practices this partnership aims to change the risky behaviour of youngsters in their daily lifestyle (bad eating habits, sedentary life, addictions); wrong attitude against people of different race, sexual inclination or different cultures; indifference and low integration towards youth with disability and indifference about essential and priority environmental issues.This is a global project divided into six related main topics: Health and Sports; Cultural Heritage; Language, Ideals and Mentalities; E-Citizenship; Sustainable Green Cities (environmental issues); Tolerance. A diverse variety of activities related to the six topics will be promoted by the schools using informal and non-formal methods.The project will be lead and developed by two main working teams composed of teachers and students that will promote, organise and disseminate the activities in each school.Two types of learning, teaching and training activities will be included in the project: short-term joint staff training events where teachers will have training courses concerning the project theme and also study visits combining on-site visits to relevant organisations, presentations, and discussion workshops and short-term exchanges of groups of pupils that will give students the opportunity to experience international learning, reinforce their understanding of the diversity of European cultures and languages, develop new skills and competences necessary for their personal development and deepen each topic with special activities.DEOR planning for this project has been studied to give a high level of involvement inside and outside the organisations involving multiple stakeholders.The E-twinning platform will be our privileged common online database of experiences that will allow the intensive cooperation among all schools involved during and after the project as well as the dissemination of our experiences, activities and results. The specific goals are to share experiences and to adapt learning programmes and teaching strategies in the participating schools considering sport practice, outdoor physical activities, healthy lifestyle education, cultural heritage values preservation, increase of environmental awareness, development of different languages, and change of mentalities, all through inclusion and integration. We intend to improve the way of looking at diversity as a chance to improve themselves and others, discuss how different countries cope with social inclusion and equal opportunities, fostering integration and equal rights. Participants will be taught the importance of tolerance and non-discrimination, overcoming all forms of discrimination, and developing the feeling of belonging to one European community."
