DROP OUT - COACHING AT SCHOOL
This Project addresses to two problematic issues  at schools and in the long term in the society. The first one is students can not identify their needs and abilities well enough to plan their career. And the second one, the students find it hard to cope with the pressure and stress of the vague future, as a result they leave school earlier. Most of the students belong to different social classes which means some of them are at highly risk of drop-out. Every partner school has evaluated the percentage of these students:
Italy: 20%, Estonia: 2%, Poland: 7%, Romania: 15%, Turkey: 23%, Spain: 20% and Greece: 15%. The schools used surveys, school reports of social backgrounds of the local communities or other available materials from their Educational Departments. 
Refering to our main aim which is reducing the number of students at risk of drop out we want to achieve the following states:
Italy: 10%, Estonia: 0%, Poland: 0%, Romania: 10%, Turkey: 10%, Spain: 10% and Greece: 10%. The second very important aim we want to achieve is reducing stress level and developing the necessary abilities to manage emotions as well as overcoming anxiety within the classroom. The other goal is improving creativity in using new ICT technologies by working with robotics experts. The next aim to gain is providing the motivation of students for learning and socializing by showing them how to plan their future career.

All the students at risk of drop out will: 
- succeed in planning their future career by continuing their education at school,
- improve their ICT and foreign language skills through the computer programming of a Robot,
- learn to cope with negative feelings and turn them into positive ones to see adventages of staying at school,
- keep in mind that mistakes lead to better learning and the most important thing is not to give up.
All participants will be actively involved towards a better understanding of the real European dimension.
