The project Povećajmo UM-unutarnju motivaciju was created because our teachers realised that they needed new teaching methods and ways of using modern technology in the classroom to make their lessons more innovative, modern and interesting. The goal was increasing our students’ inner motivation and preventing early school leaving. The focus of the entire project was placed on our students, who are the object of our interest and the reason of our professional existence, and our teachers who are the initiators of the modern teaching process. In order to perform this demanding task, teachers must be well educated and competent, and the best way of achieving this goal is permanent education and lifelong learning which transcends borders. The 18 project participants included seven grade school teachers (1st through 4th grade), a grade school teacher who works in after school care, a Mathematics teacher, two English teachers, a Chemistry and Biology teacher, a German teacher, a Croatian teacher, a Geography teacher, a PE teacher, an Art teacher and a pedagogical adviser. The preparatory activities undertaken before the mobility activities were customised according to individual needs of each participant. They included language courses and a review of literature and web pages related to the topics of their education, learning about cultural aspects of the host countries and preparation of presentations which were used to present our school and country. Education courses were held in five EU countries. The topic of the course which was attended by three grade school teachers in Portugal was action learning, increasing motivation and learning process quality. An English teacher gained new ideas and practical skills which can be used for creative and effective teaching in a foreign language classroom on a course in England. Two grade school teachers attended a course on innovative methods of teaching in Czech Republic. Two grade school teachers, an Art teacher, and a PE teacher attended a course which was specifically made to meet the needs of our school on the topic of creativity in teaching through art, sports and music on Malta. A Biology teacher and a Geography teacher attended a course in Czech Republic the topic of which was outdoor learning. Two grade school teachers and one Croatian teacher attended a course on informal methods of teaching in formal education on Malta. A German teacher attended a course on creative and fun teaching of German as a foreign language, in Germany. In the course workshops she learned to creatively plan lessons and make them more fun. A Mathematics teacher and an English teacher attended a course in Czech Republic on e-learning in the classroom. A pedagogical advisor attended a course on fighting school problems, like early school leaving and school failure in Czech Republic. The results and effects of the project were multiple, which was confirmed by statistical analysis of data obtained through several surveys. As an example of positive, long-term effects of our project on its participants, we would like to mention the professional development of the participating teachers, which is a consequence of their confidence in their own knowledge and awareness of the necessity for lifelong learning and improvement of key competences within the European framework. The participants of the project learned new teaching methods and new ways of using ICT in their everyday work, which helps them make lessons more interesting to modern generations of students. We consider the fact that we have taken our classes outside the physical boundaries of classrooms another significant result of the project. This has enabled our students to learn from experience in new surroundings, and it has brought Europe closer to them. This is therefore a long term investment in our students because the skills obtained through experience will be priceless when faced with new situations. The results and good experiences were selflessly shared with all those who showed interest. Workshops were organised for other teachers in our school and they were shown these new methods of teaching. This was also the case in other schools which we visited at their teacher meetings. Some schools followed our workshops via videoconferences. We also organised Erasmus+ lessons which were open for public. The students on those occasions were our student’s parents, representatives from the local community, government and the media. In this way they could experience learning in a new environment we have created by using the knowledge we gained during the project, focusing on the application of new interactive methods with the purpose of increasing students’ motivation. “I feel important when I can explore something on my own, and afterwards share what I have learnt with my classmates through some fun activities”, said one of our 4th grade students. We feel it describes the positive results of this project precisely.
