The aim of the project is to enable pupils from partner schools to help colleagues from their own schools that are either at risk of school failure or have special educational needs to improve their grades and personal development.

In each school there are students that have good results and students with bad results. The bad results are due to different reasons: students’ lack of interests, teachers’ uninspired lessons, students coming from social disadvantaged areas or from migrants’ families, students who have special needs.

Teachers as individuals and schools as institutions try to help those students to improve their grades and reduce school failure and early school leaving.  From discussions with teachers and students, we realized that children feel more comfortable to be helped by other children.

Groups of  talented students with good grades (who are participating in this Erasmus+ project) together with their teachers will identify a number of pupils that need help in order to improve their grades and pass National evaluation.  If in one class there is one student who needs help, his or her colleagues will help with homework, give advice, stay together in class at different lessons and work together in different projects. Each student that needs help will spend additional hours of after-school help (e.g.  At least 3 hours a week preparing for school and 2 hours a week for extracurricular activities).

The mixed groups of students (having good and bad marks) will make some projects on various themes: e.g. the most popular game in their countries, the most famous story, the most famous musician / sports man or woman – living personalities in each country, the National Day and the story behind it. The projects can be in form of a Power Point presentation, CDs with video or audio recordings, etc. All activities will be recorded and uploaded on the project site (using Twin Space).

We intend to prepare special lessons of science, mathematics, and foreign languages with students from all partner schools during each of students’ mobilities. They will improve their digital skills  and literacy (e.g. working on projects, designing web pages or blogs), their linguistic skills (communication in mother tongue and foreign languages) and their social skills (helping those in need). All of these will help them to become more self-confident and socially-aware European citizens.

The objectives of the project:
- To improve the pupils’ sense of initiative and entrepreneurship
- To improve the pupils’ knowledge of foreign languages
- To improve the pupils’ digital competencies
- To increase pupils’ active participation in social life
- To increase pupils’ motivation for daily school and after-school activities

The project should be carried out trans nationally to gain information about how other schools deal with school failure, to exchange good practice models. Working both inside their school and outside their countries, pupils’ work gathers a European dimension. They foster their creativity, entrepreneurial spirit and active citizenship.
