“SEARCHING FOR THE LABOURS OF HERCULES”

“Searching For The Labours Of Hercules” is a Mixed Strategic Partnership for School Education with the grant agreement number 2014-1-TR01-KA201-012990 funded by Turkish National Agency  for 2014-2017 with 380.206 Euro Project budget. In 36 months 8 partners from 6 different countries have developed 6 intellectual outputs; Travel Guide, E-Book, Inactive comics, Data Collecting Platform, A mobile game and open online course.

The project has been designed on the 12 labours  which  Hercules has achieved to be immortal travelling around Europe. Apart from the intellectual outputs created, innovative learning and teaching methods and approaches have been developed and implemented.With the help of the intellectual outputs as well as the  teaching and training activities held at different countries,teachers and students at different levels have been provided with the opportunity to acquire how to integrate ICT into teaching and learning environments.In these events, participants from different countries have experienced  parts of different cultures such as mythology,Ancient Greek and marbling and as a result the project has helped to raise awareness on the different cultures.Furthermore, within eTwinning  project activities carried  out by partner high schools,the students have  exchanged  the experiences  they gained on the importance of  common history we shared in the past, and the idea of European citizenship with the Web 2.0 tools.

All in all, the innovative methods implemented and the intellectual outputs developed through the life of the project have  helped the partner organisations to  increase the  quality of education and improve  the capacity of  organisations by promoting the use of the outcomes  taking up  innovative practices in education to  make  more modern, dynamic  and professional innovative environment  inside the  organisations.
