The Erasmus+ School Partnership from Germany, Italy, Norway and Portugal intends to analyse the theme “Heroes”. Considering the fact that today's schools deal with students from many backgrounds and with a great cultural diversity, the question of how an individual can integrate into society and what to expect from it is treated differently, as well as the question of what society can expect and the needs of individuals. Thus, the theme of the project can combine all these issues in an exemplary way. The starting point, for all schools, is the novel “The Book Thief” by Markus Zsusak. Throughout the project, the concept of “Hero” will be explored by promoting reading and writing. The students of each school will analyse it in other works, always resorting to historical and current research, dealing with the analysis of Local and / or National Heroes, Day-to-Day Heroes and Anti-Heroes.
