The project "DE.M.O.S. - DEbate as innovative MethOd to enhance critical thinking and life skill" turns around the implementation of the debate methodology as a tool to develop students' key competencies and thus foster their employability, socio-educational and professional development, as well as participation in the civil and social life, thus contributing to responding to the main priority of E+. The proposal stems from the cooperation between IISS Dalla Chiesa di Montefiascone and five European schools from Holland, Turkey, Latvia, Portugal and Poland.
