Summary

Our main goal is to assist schools to develop an affective environment where creativity and divergent thinking (directed towards different possible ways of solving a problem) have the opportunity to flourish and teaching becomes highly effective. By empowering teachers and schools to provide opportunities for using non-standard aids such as scrap materials (e.g. bottles, aluminum foil, caps, cardboard boxes and many more) we want to create an environment that helps students visualise lessons and transfer abstract concepts into concrete, easier to remember objects which allow students to learn more and retain better what they have learned. We plan to create intellectual tools - a Handbook with a theoretical basis and a collection of good practices from the partner countries, a Toolkit to support daily activities in schools and a training guide.
