 * PEDAGOGICAL INNOVATIONS is an interdisciplinary project which focuses on teachers dealing with children ** aged seven to fifteen **with the diverse backgrounds, combating problems at school and barriers to learning.** It includes two parallel programmes: **BETTER LANGUAGE-BETTER LEARNING** and **HIDDEN TALENTS**. The first one concentrates on the issue of preventing children’s school failure through improving their reading skills, while the second programme deals with children’s personal development. The national curriculum is integrated into the project. The results of the programmes will be shared with the pupils, their parents and school politicians. While improving pupils’ reading competency, this project will enhance the teachers’ professional development. All school subjects will be the base for various activities. Teachers will develop new teaching strategies and share their expertise. They will set up the Wiki, which will be a hub for the exchange of materials, techniques, video lessons and innovative ideas. While improving teachers’ methodological, linguistic and ICT competencies, collaboration on the European level will educate about planning, responsibility, team work and school systems. During the **A DAY TOGETHER IN EUROPE** event, teachers from abroad will conduct lessons with children in the host school. In order to evaluate students’ achievements various events will be organized. **The final joint products will be a book on pedagogical innovations and the Wiki.** The products and the final evaluation of the project will be presented during the dissemination conference organized at the end of the project. **The Wiki will be a starting point for further collaboration with other European teachers.**
