In the Europe Strategy 2020, it has been planned to reduce the dropout rate to10% from the current 15%. We aim to contribute to the achievement of this target and also to offer an appropriateframe/learning environment in which children can achieve the skills needed in order to become accomplished adultspersonally and professionally. We want to teach students to think and open their minds, and nurture unconventionaltalents and skills. Creative, critical thinking pervades all aspects of our daily life-planning at home and planning at work,as well as navigating leisure time and on the job - creative thinking is central to each person's daily life and is anessential life skill. Children should be prepared for life with strong skills and competencies to ensure their personaldevelopment. They must be taught, supported to discover themselves and creative thinking methods are goodinstruments in this regard. Children need to know what they want, they need to discover their strengths and qualities andtry to develop them.
