    With the inspiration of Erasmus and with bright lighthouse the United Europe this program aimed to highlight, common cultural elements of European countries. The aim was the cooperation of the target groups through the acquaintance of other cultures, not only understand the common cultural tradition, but also gain a stronger sense of identity both local and European. This was obtained mainly by experience and interaction through mutual actions and the school contact with society. Our methodology focused on the mutual work of all partners and the modern educational methods and strategies. The program had both a theoretical and an experiential approach. It developed students' knowledge and experience, and combined the field research and experiment. As soon as the project was completed, they realized that they had earned important qualifications required for their future academic and professional careers. Thus, they acknowledged the importance of a school that gives opportunities for socialization and smooth integration into society. The participating countries were Greece as a supervisor, Italy, Bulgaria, Poland and Slovakia. They were all willing to be part of an effort to promote cultural tolerance and awareness.Our target groups were between the ages of 11 to 15.On that concept we organized four transnational meetings and five Learning/Teaching/Training Activities in order to meet, to make schedules to present our work and lecture about our basic themes: 1. “customs and traditions preserved through history and time” including “customs of the life circle (birth, baptism, engagement, wedding, burial)”2. “traditional instruments, dances and costumes”3. “Christmas and Easter in my country” 4. “customs and traditions that bond with agriculture Local and products” 5. “Folk Art and Architecture”The project acted as a link to school and society.We visited local authorities, local libraries, newspapers, museums, castles. The community has free access to the project's products. ICT skills were promoted through the completion of the products of our project. Communication was accomplished through skype and emails. In conclusion, our project implanted in the students the idea of being responsible citizens who respect other people and cultures, are more open to the different and do not feel the other as a menace but as a means of enriching their personal development and maturation. Moreover, we aim them to complete culturally, identify their cultural unity yesterday and today and give an answer to the violence and xenophobia that is endemic in society. In addition, they will appreciate the importance of leaving in a clean environment as culture teaches us to give nature the respect that she reserves.
