On the morning of the last day of the Erasmus+ project entitled "DISCOVER EUROPEAN CULTURAL IDENTITY," participants had the opportunity to take part in a Role-Playing Games (RPG) activity at the School Library. It was an activity where everyone could create their characters and craft a completely original story, filled with fun and humour. It is well established that learning through educational games based on RPG can significantly enhance students' motivation to learn. RPGs are the right choice for teachers in order to provide creative and innovative learning experiences for students. The development of educational RPGs is essential to overcoming learning challenges, particularly low student motivation. With RPGs applied to education, students learn to collaboratively tackle problems, engage in mental calculation, and express themselves verbally and in writing, as well as in dramatic and improvisational contexts.

Dissemination - Erasmus+ project “DISCOVER EUROPEAN CULTURAL IDENTITY”. Disseminating this project is essential to maximise its impact and ensure that the results achieved reach a wider audience.
By sharing the activities and lessons learned, we not only promote the appreciation of cultural diversity but also inspire other institutions and individuals to engage in similar initiatives. Furthermore, dissemination helps strengthen partnerships, foster international cooperation, and ensure the sustainability of the project’s outcomes, even after its completion.
Thus, dissemination is a strategic tool that ensures the benefits of the project extend beyond its direct participants, contributing to a positive and lasting impact on the communities involved.

After the ceremony at the City Hall of Angra do Heroísmo, certificates of participation were handed out to the students and teachers who took part in the final mobility of the Erasmus+ project, titled "DISCOVER EUROPEAN CULTURAL IDENTITY." This project aimed to promote cultural exchange and educational enrichment through practical experiences, allowing students to explore the traditions, history, and identity of various European communities. In addition, it sought to develop social and intercultural competencies through non-formal learning activities.
Among the main objectives of the project were raising awareness of the European Union's context, its shared values, the principles of unity and diversity, as well as promoting cultural awareness, European identity, and social and historical heritage. The project also aimed to foster STEM approaches to education through interdisciplinary teaching in areas such as culture, environment, design, and other relevant contexts. Additionally, it sought to promote interdisciplinary collaboration using innovative learning methods to develop participants' creativity.
Students and teachers expressed their gratitude for the warm welcome and the valuable learning experiences provided by the program. "This experience was truly transformative, both for the students and the teachers involved. We return to our countries with a renewed appreciation for Europe's cultural diversity," said one of the participating teachers.
The ceremony culminated with a group photo, symbolizing the friendships and memories created throughout this exchange. The success of this final mobility phase reinforces the importance of projects like Erasmus+ in promoting education, European citizenship, and respect for cultural diversity.
Initiatives like this demonstrate the positive impact of international collaboration, preparing young people to become conscious and active global citizens in an increasingly united and diverse Europe.
