An important factor is the low motivation of the students. Unmotivated students are often in a state of poverty, social discomfort and isolation. Often, they are immigrants with little knowledge of the laws, the culture, the habits of the country, where they emigrated. Different educational models and low literacy are common problems. Sometimes, students have a good level of literacy, but big difficulties in L2. In many cases they need to keep up with homework and lessons because they do not attend classes regularly. A typical situation is the need for them to go periodically and return to their homeland. All these factors influence the learning process. We are focused on overcoming these difficulties. As the research points out, young people who leave school early will have less job opportunities, or face socio-economic disadvantage, along with other difficultiesAimsShared objectives among the partners are:- reduce disparities in learning and ESL results- promote integration, tolerance and active citizenship- support students in the process of ""learning to learn""- the autonomy of adoptive students, personal initiative, motivation to learn- improve students' basic and transversal skills- improve teachers' skills and competences- improve the language skills of students, in particular, of English, and writing skills or Italian as second languagepromote to ESL students the Cultural Heritage knowledge of the Partners’ countries- - research into new teaching methods and creative approach Helping with students to use new technology Internet, computer programs, smartphone programs and so onPlanned activitiesA first meeting, only for teachers, will plan and define the details of the project:- the guidelines for planning and managing the project- guidelines for the overall organization (for example, MICE, evaluation plan and student mobility plan)- activities, shared objectives, methods, tools- the exchange program with students and teachersA final meeting will be dedicated to:- evaluate the results- define the dissemination plan- define agreement for the sustainability of the project in the following two years- present the projects to the interested parties, through a special event in Italy Mobilizing students and teachersMobility will take place in Zadar, Prague, Bologna, Ravenna and Eskisehir.Each mobility will be attended by two teachers with a variable number of students.Describe of undertaken main activities The mobility includes guided tours of the host city, educational workshops, intercultural workshops, cooking workshops, frescoes and mosaics.
