The aims of the project Improving some skills of the students Helping them become fluent speakers of the English language Creating a cooperation among the students and employers Helping the students become part of their society

The aims of the project The topic of the project is WATER IS LIFE which means it concerns one of the most important natural resources on our planet. The aim of the project is to raise and shape pro-ecological awareness among young people as it is, according to us, a great challenge for the young all over the world nowadays. Due to broadening their knowledge of the environment the students, we hope, will become more interested in the issues and, as a result, will lead better lives what may also influence their future career paths. We also think that the integration of young people coming from different European countries will prepare them be better citizens of the European Union. Thus, it can help them shape their pro-ecological thinking as well as improve their language skills. Moreover, their efficiency in communication and information technology will be improved, too.
