"The purpose of this Erasmus project is to strengthen leadership among European youth. We believe that by training our youth in leadership skills we are encouraging them to develop skills and competencies that will lead to improved perfomances, goal achievement, increased learning and personal satisfaction. We believe that with the changing of markets and demands, our youth has to develop leadership skills so they can become active citizens who contribute to the development of the European community. In developing leadership skills within our youth we will increase the skills, knowledge and value of our youth. This partnership also views this Erasmus project as one of the most important developmental tools our students can take advantage of during his/her lifetime. The project intend to make a in difference in challenges we've pointed out in our objectives; such as social inclusion and early school leaving(drop out). These are common problems in schools all over Europe and important to do something about. The leadership skills will be learned through the different activities such as; project logo and mascot contest, making a shared web site,designing, a Facebook page, making a handbook ""How to become a leader"", making news letters,doing charity for students with low socio economic situation, theatre play,interviews with local leaders, organizing international dance festival and international food festival, hold an international short film competition, making posters and brochures of the project, visiting elders and meeting their emotional needs, writing articles about famous leaders and preparing presentations of partner schools and regions. There will also be elected ""most involved in the project"" student of the year"". The methology used to carry out the project is learning about leadership skills through intergrating specific leadership skills in the following the ways; - Mathematics: collecting data and creating charts, statistics, tests and comparisons between school's results in workshop feedback. - Computer science: using IT resources so students can learn how to create a blog, how to update the newsletters, introduction of online file sharing. - Language(English): writing texts for newsletter and /or blog, writing feedback on country visits, creating posters with text that explains program.
