Summary: In a competence based learning environment (Key Competences for Life Long Learning) students from different nationalities work together to develop teaching materials for different age groups (primary education - 4 to 12 years).The crucial starting point for this project is always the real environment: first year Kaunas College, Lithuania, second year Madrid, Spain, third year Samsun, Turkey. Via the inquiry approach students collect the resources in the field. In the transfer stage (teaching materials and learning strategies) they use the idea of multi-perspectivity (looking at the world from different perspectives) in order to develop balanced views on a variety of topics. The teaching materials include innovative didactics, aspects of new learning strategies, ICT and IST and relevant aspects of the current society like pluriiculturalism, citizenship, sustainable development and the European dimension. In this three year project students present the outcomes to their peers. They also teach in real classroom situations in as many languages as possible.An electronic learning environment, a project portfolio and a publication in different languages are parts of the programme.
