The motivation for this project: Over the last few years there has been a growing demand for both students and school staff to widen their cultural and professional horizons and confront themselves with people belonging to different cultures and backgrounds. - Students want more concrete motivation to study and use foreign languages; - Teachers want to compare methodologies and practices; - Students and teachers want to improve their intercultural competences and feel themselves European citizens, able to work, study and cooperate with other European citizens. TALES FOR PEACE will offer all participants the opportunity to fulfil those needs.
Relevant topics: • the fight against racism • education towards tolerance • multicultural societies • These topics will be analized by means of drama, music and creative writing laboratories with a strong cultural and pedagogical impact. • These topics will be achieved through cooperative work. • We want our students to become aware of diversity and see it as a stimulus and a source of enrichment.
The work in these topics aims at: • giving voice to young people’s hopes, emotions and thoughts; • developing the expression of their creativity in an intercultural environment, through the sharing of teaching practices and methodologies; • promoting communication through the use of technology and European languages, in order to increase the cooperation between schools and local cultural and administrative bodies.
Studentswill have the opportunity to: - practise and improve their knowledge of English while communicating with the students and teachers of the partner schools - express themselves creatively: they will have to produce plays, songs, tales, etc. As well as to exercise their handicraft when manufacturing different objects/props necessary for the plays or other pieces of writing
Studentswill have the opportunity to: - exercise and improve their use of modern technologies by creating websites, writing articles, exchanging e-mails, etc. - learn to understand and be open to other cultures as well as accept and integrate students with social problems or with disabilities.
Teacherswill have the opportunity to: • practise their knowledge of foreign languages; • practise their team-work abilities and coordinating skills which require something more than teaching their subject; • they will also have the occasion to share classroom activities and team-work with other European teachers; • - the teachers will be able to discover their students' preferences and the way they look at the surrounding world.

Liceo Classico Statale "Gian Domenico Romagnosi" (Parma - Italy) Liceo classico “G.D Romagnosi” wants to characterise itself as an institution providing a varied and wide educational offer ranking from ancient languages and literatures to modern foreign languages and cultures including the comprehension of scientific and artistic languages. The rigorous study of the past forms the basis for the analysis and understanding of the present and the acquisition of the ability to plan ahead into the future in a creative way. Liceo Romagnosi wants to respond to students´requests to confront themselves with the wider world and promotes participation in European projects to satisfy young people´s requirements and to improve teachers´ professional development.
Liceo Classico Statale "Gian Domenico Romagnosi" (Parma - Italy) The school is located in a socially and economically developed region.It receives students coming from a wide catchment area belonging to all social classes.It accepts students with disabilities and belonging to migrant families. There are some cases of families in social and economic difficulties who have entrusted the school with the task of developing students´potentialities and abilities. What families generally demand is a qualified education able to help students to develop personal autonomy and awareness and endow them with all the necessary competences in order to successfully integrate themselves in further education or in the working world.
Gimnazjum nr 1 im. Janusza Korczaka (Lędziny - Polska) Janusz Korczak Gimnazjum provides general education with a sports class. Our school works in an environment which consists mainly of the miners´ families. There is also a quite numerous group of children who come from the farms. Part of the families suffer from financial problems. This partly leads to a phenomenon of so called euro-orphans, whose parents went to work abroad. There is a group of students in our school who are liable to social exclusion, due to their parents´ unemployment as well as pathologies appearing in their families. There is also rather big percentage of families in which there are no clear patterns prefering the importance of knowledge and learning. All the students can find help at both teachers (who organize some after-school classes and learning help) as well as the school pedagogue. Students take part in various contests, scoring highly. In ratings of final exams results we place above the average.
Gimnazjum nr 1 im. Janusza Korczaka (Lędziny - Polska) The community of Ledziny is rather closed in their local problems and opens itself reluctantly. All contacts with people from outside our town (including the foreign contacts) are achieved with great effort.
Gymnázium Jablonec nad Nisou (Jablonec nad Nisou - Czech Republic) Gymnázium Jablonec n./N. existing since 1897 is for its quality and tradition a very important institution not only in the local aspect.

Gymnázium Jablonec nad Nisou (Jablonec nad Nisou - Czech Republic) The school admits students from ethnical minorities, students with physical disabilities. In all the area it is possible to see problems with the integration of some ethnical minorities, especially with Roms. While taking part in the project the pupils will learn more about respect and tolerance and will understand better that racism and discrimination are not the right way to sort out this socio-cultural problem.

“We are all citizens of one world, we are all of one blood. To hate a man because he was born in another country, because he speaks a different language, or because he takes a different view on this subject or that, is a great folly. Desist, I implore you, for we are all equally human.... Let us have but one end in view, the welfare of humanity; and let us put aside all selfishness in considerations of language, nationality, or religion.” from John Amos Comenius, The Great Didactic, 1649 (translated by M.W. Keatinge 1896)
