Here are the values that I stand for: honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you want to be treated and helping those in need. To me, those are traditional values.

The only people who are mad at you for speaking the truth are those

people who are living a lie.Keep speaking the truth.

The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.

DISCUSSION

How did you feel in the project? Did you learn anything in the project? What was your experience? Are you going to use this newly acquired knowledge in the classroom with students? Are the values of the school, family, community represented in your school work and where they reflect?

The project addresses something that everyone should think about - values. Values in school, family, community. Being part of this project made me think even more about them - what are the values? what are my values? do i want to add any value to the list of my values? what’s the most important for me?While preparing the workshop I was thinking quite a lot about the values, especially when I was preparing the inspiration cards. In the preparation phase I actively in-volved also the students from Architectural class - they also decided which values should be written on inspiration cards. The workshop was prepared as the intensive work in the groups of students from different countries from all around the world. Value cards and inspiration cards were prepared to stimulate students to think about their values even more and to create the mosaic of values.The experience was great. Students were hard working, enthusiastic, and they came up with nice ideas.It was a pleasure to be part of this project. I always like to get new challenges, new topics, to be creative and work with the students. Moreover, the professional team preparing Erasmus+ program was amazing - all the people were nice and full of positive energy.Not only the students, also I learned something in the project - how to guide a work-shop for the students from all around the world, and especially how to motivate them and engage in the process. Lessons learned will definitely help me in my fu-ture career, in the gymnasium or at the faculty.The values of the school, family, community are represented also in my school work and professional work, for example you can not work with anyone if there is no hon-esty, respect and patience. In Architectural class at the gymnasium I’m stimulating students to be creative, and patient to each other. I’m stimulating especially inno-vation, commitment and cooperation - I believe team working is really important for their career.Moreover, in my future work I will definitely repeat the workshop - I think this topic could be used for community building actions, public participation, and it could help me by designing urban spaces or creating architecture. It’s important to understand which values are important to someone, because values definitely define the archi-tecture and urban design too.
