PROJECT NAME: Game as a Method of Education PARTNER COUNTRIES: France Greece Hungary Lithuania Spain Turkey

How did the project idea come out?

The UE has arranged five goals to be realized, by the end of 2020, One of them is to reduce early dropping out to 10% from the current 15%..

Many students fail to complete their schooling. This can cause serious problems for individuals, their families and the country. We will examine the reasons why students leave school early, and suggest some possible solutions.

Education system related factors ESL (Early school leaving) is a social phenomenon. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. Some of them are connected with unfriendly atmosphere at schools. When schools fail to meet students’ needs for belonging, competence, and autonomy, students are more likely to become: *Less motivated *More alienated *Poorer academic performers

When students’ basic psychological needs (safety, belonging, autonomy, and competence) are satisfied, they are more likely to: *Become engaged in school (school bonding) *Act in accord with school goals and values *Develop social skills and understanding *Contribute to the school and the community

The project focuses on improving motivation and study experiences of students through better school climate
