The underlying theme of this project is to enhance the European dimension of education by promoting joint cooperation activities in the schools outlined in the project. This process will aid pupils and teachers to acquire and improve skills in the areas of geography, language, IT, history and social awareness/integration. the participation in the activities described will enrich a sense of teamwork, sociocultural relations, project management and the use of ICT. It is envisaged that there will be an increased multilingual capacity and an enhanced motivation towards language learning amongst staff, pupils and the wider school community. All of the participant applicants demonstrate a common ethos with regard to an understanding and appreciation for their role in their community ranging from that of a local one to a European one. they have an appreciation for advancements and developments in society and through this project, hope to be able to analyse a means of directing towards a more productive and socially aware Utopian environment. It is proposed that these will all be investigated and researched in a cross curricular fashion under the headings of Language, Social Media, Economics, Democracy and Environment. Each of these headings will primarily be analysed under the the are of how it exists in our current society, the students and teachers will then engage in a series of actions and activities which are described as the process of development, and anlysis of the outcomes of these actions will from the blueprints for a Utopian society that has the values of social inclusion, multiculturalism, languages alongside technology, innovation and adaptability. The basic issues that the project will focus on are language, cultural awareness and diversity with the view to the advantages that can be gained from working in a European context. The cross curricular nature of this project will enable a wide variety of subjects and issues to be addressed. It is anticipated that these will be tackled under the umbrella headings of the past, present and future which will culminate in a blueprint being set out for a Utopian society. These will include a Refinement of Power Point produced for "Voices of the Sea" project about the origins of language.

Following on from this participants will study unemployment percentages, identify reasons for unemployment, draw up a profile of the long term unemployed and investigate into the concept of the brain drain. Students will define a minimum skills set, and inquire into the validity of entrepreneurship. Finally the students will define the concept of the optimum work life balance in a Utopian society.

Students will reflect how and what they are doing that is contributing towards a healthy environment and what can be done to improve the energy rating of their everyday lives. Students will ultimately draw up a blue print for setting out a carbon neutral society. The final results of the project revolves around the presentation of all of the reults in a cohesive document outlining all of the determined guidelines that will contribute towards creating and maintaining a Utopian society.
