Our project is a part of Erasmus+ program : Nature and Culture Explorers - understanding our European heritage. Five countries will be involved in the cooperation: Poland, England, Turkey, Spain and Lithuania. This year we will focus on natural monuments and treasures. The rich and diverse cultural and natural heritage of Europe is one of the key to our common roots. We want to build new relationship among young people in Europe. Our project will be based on common mutual topics which will motivate both students and staff alike to explore, exchange and learn about natural heritage. Our project offers a variety of collaborative activities which will bring students, communities and nations together, thus highlighting commonalities and bridging nature, cultural and ethic differences.

Cultural heritage is more than historical monuments left behind from the past. It is all the things, places and practices that define who we are as individuals, regions and countries. It is preserved through books, artifacts, art and oral tradition. Europe is the place where lots of influences meet together creating new horizons of the people. The rich and diverse cultural heritage of Europe is one of the key to our common roots. Project will build new relationship among young people in Europe. Children will have the opportunity to develop a full understanding of and respect for other cultures which have the same roots and will in a creative expression know more about different cultures and their heritage. The aims of the project will give connection to certain social values, beliefs, customs and historical knowledge. Europe is now a huge melting pot of people from all over the world for students from 5 different countries will be a good opportunity to face with other cultures.
