    "Project ""Little steps make a big difference. Together, we care for our home "" aims to make the 6partner schools sustainable in ecological, social and economical area of cooperation. Pupils frompartner countries will be in the centre of attention within the project activities. Teachers will act toperform specific tasks to transform each partner school into ecologically, socially and economicallysustainable places for all participants. Starting with the program of National Ecological ActivityCenters which are located in each partner country, we will act to become schools that specificallystimulate social activity of residents. We will work to give example of good practice and action, createan active educational environment for young people. Our mutual goal is the implementation of highquality measures that will lead all partner schools to get Eco-certificates of Local EnvironmentalActivity Centres and finally a ""Green Flag"". We will followall steps towards the Green Flag andmaking the school increasingly eco-friendly. This probram also encourages and enables internationalcooperation. Thus, special activity set is developed for each partner school for the two years of thispartnership.In this project we will work to make pupils and teachers aware of their possibilities to take individualsteps in their locality, to make it more ecological and socially comfortable place to dwell. For this aimwe will organize workshops in which pupils will be main performers.They will be enabled to work out their own ideas, put them to good practice and evaluate. Projectcooperation will lead to the growth of social, language and ICT competences, which will be helpful toprepare all engaged students for better future career.Sustainability being the main theme of this project also represents an important aspect ofcooperation in our partnership. The expertise in ecology subjects will be sent on to the other partnercountries. Cooperation in European dimension and the European Union will be explicit and what ismost important - personally experienced by the participants.During 6 LTTAs at least 4 students and 3 teachers from each partner country will meet andcooperate.Scheduled topics will be developed, like: „Developing Eco-School"", ""How can we save water?"",""Developing your school ground"", ""Eating well"", ""Waste cut and how to measure it"", ""How to minimizeuse of energy"". Also ""Sports days"" will be organized at each partner school. All steps for achievingthe targets set out in our Action Plan will be reflected in ""Erasmus + Eco Story"" made of partsdeveloped by all partners.Visible results of ecological and sustainable change of the living space - our school, which arereached by all beneficiaries will be widely presented in locality. Erasmus Plus Eco Clubs with (withmembers of Eco - committees) will work weekly, eco-actions will be spread to all students at school,to supporting institutions, to local society and also to Eurpe via educational platforms, socialnetworks, etc. Participants of transnational meetings will obtain Europass Mobility documents, whichwill be useful in their future career.Thanks to wide dissemination and continuous evaluation (the use of questionnaires after everyworkshop conducted during the planned LTTAs, audit after each year for national certificate) - thehigh level execution of the school partnership will be guaranteed. In addition, all the partners agreedthat the pupils should live with families in the relevant partner countries, thus will get to know thepeople and the culture of the partner country. Our goal is also to arrange travel abroad for manystudents facing financial, social or cultural obstacles for the first time in their life.The youth undertaking definite steps and bringing to life concrete results and experiencescooperating on ecological issues, will at the same time work out mutual respect, sense of toleranceand better understanding of each other. Thus, project collaboration will bring to beneficiaries a longlasting positive effect on their European awareness."

    Funder Contribution: 145,358 EUR

    Having identified the students' necessity of acquiring basic competences, the necessity of new learner-based methodologies and the necessity of a greater use of ICT tools in classrooms, of more motivating activities that allow for more meaningful learning, this project aims at:a) Familiarize students and teachers with the world of robots and programming.b) Enhance students key competences.c) Provide teachers with practical ideas for incorporating technology into their lessons.d) Implement PBL in lessons.e) Foster positive attitudes towards learning, such as stress contol, keeping an open mind, building a positive self-image, self-knowledge and relating adequately to others. f) Raise awareness of environmental problems.g) Become aware of the European dimension of the school and foster positive attitudes towards other members of the EU, such as tolerance and respect.h) Take advantage of gamification.i) Create digital resources for robotics.j) Launch and keep a workshop on robotics in primary school organized and tutored by students with expertise in robotics.This partnership consists of 5 schools from all parts of Europe, the majority of which having experience in Comenius and qualified staff who are capable of carrying out the project.The project will last 2 years. There will be 2 transnational meeting during the first year. The aim of the first meeting will be to lauch the project, train partner representatives in robotics and agree on the quality, dissemination, evaluation and communication systems. During the first year, schools will work in 2 groups to design a Mission for their robots and perform it. Each mission will be evaluated in a quantitative and qualitative manner. Progress Reviews will be written by students. A partner country will be in charge of collecting the information and writing a monthly newsletter to be sent to all members of the school community in all countries involved. During the second Mission, schools will continue working in the same groups but they will swap Missions. In order to fulfill the new Mission they will resort to the expertise of the other group of partners. There will be an annual survey to measure goal achievement. The project progress will be disseminated inside and outside school according to the dissemination plan. Feedback about dissemination, surveys and Progress Reviews will be summarized in the Year1 Report.The second year, there will be 2 transnational meetings. The aim of the first meeting will be to start the mobility of students and to make adjustments to the project according to the issues analysed in Year 1 Report. When students do the mobilities, they will work in transnational teams to overcome a challenge prepared by the teachers in the host country. Students will be evaluated both quantitatively and qualitatively. They will write a Progress Review whose content will be disseminated in the monthly newsletter. When visitors go back to their country they will invite their fellow students to take the challenge and they will give the support to overcome it. There will be five mobilities, involving 100 students form 5 countries. 325 students from 5 countries will be directly involved in the project and 4300 students will benefit from the project indirectly.The result of the project will be an ebook containing information about robotics, the explanation of missions and challenges, tutorials, recommendations, troubleshooting, glossary of technical terms, diagrams, and photos. An open robotics day will be organized at the end of the second year to disseminate the project. There will be dissemination inside and outside schools according to the dissemination plan. A partner country will be in charge of supervising dissemination, coordinating, giving advice, and getting feedback from disseminating activities. This person will be responsible for informing about dissemination in the Year Report, alongside the evaluation of the project and goal achievement.The project will generate digital resources (an e-book), human resources (robotics- trained students and teachers) and material resources (robots, tables, computers and software) which will be used to create a workshop on robotics for primary-school children. The workshop will be organized and tutored by students with expertise in robotics at the end of the project.

    The project was focused mainly on the connection between science and digital technologies, between modern and traditional world with the direct message on the historical heritage of European countries. The main project aim was to build multifunctional school gardens using raised gardens and composting. The second main aim of the project was to create an open air classroom in the school garden of each partner's school. The intention was to create a place at school where the pupils will develop their digital skills and ICT literacy in a modern way in a natural environment. The classroom will be used not only for science education, but due to modern mobile ICT devices which don’t need the classical computer labs, we want to use it also for ICT lessons directly connected with science lessons as we showed our partners during the 2nd LTTA in Slovakia. The gardens will be the place for education in science and environmental thinking, maths and digital competences (use of mobile ICT) with the focus on prosocial behavior of the pupils. The topics which were the base for the project aims and project timetable were environmental awareness, agricultural skills, healthy nutrition and food sovereignty. These topics were the main leading topics of realized LTTA's. The priority goal was also the increasing of pupils' digital skills through mobile ICT using and creating digital textbooks which will be used in further educational processes. The next intention of the project was the increasing national awareness of pupils, multiculturalism and natural respect of cultures from different European countries. The workshops and open lessons were also included in each partner school. They were focused on acquiring new knowledge and skills with ICT and using created digital textbooks. The acquired knowledge and digital or practice skills will be useful for easier inclusion into today's European labour market. The aim was to support the development of ICT literacy and ICT competencies for the pupils who want to build their future career in agriculture, horticulture and food industry or do their own business in this segment. The project activities will develop ICT skills which pupils can use just in these areas where ICT were not used in the past and therefore there were no claims according to ICT education and skills as it is now. The main educational methods used for project activities and aims achievement were progressive and active methods such as problem based learning, peer to peer, CLIL method, inquiry based learning etc. It was used mainly for project activities and education in a multilingual and multicultural environment. We achieved the development of the language competencies and presentation skills of involved pupils by the using of these methods.The pupils worked in international teams, so we supposed they had to show their self-activity, the ability to make their own decisions and to be responsible for their individual work but also for team work. The project activities were focused on the national crops growing, digital documentation of the vegetation cycle and the effect of the climate conditions on the crops growth in the first project year. We planned to grow the national crops of partners schools during the second project year, but an unexpected pandemic situation crossed our plans and we had to face pandemic restrictions, canceled LTTAs in Germany and Spain as the consequence of closed countries, closed schools and impossibility to work together in school gardens. We were able to exchange our information and knowledge on growing technology and factors of chosen crops as well as seeds but realisation of this activity is still a big challenge for each partner school when the schools will be able to teach F2F directly at schools. Electronic magazines were the final outputs of each realized LTTA and they were published on dissemination project platforms. The sustainable project outputs are almost completed school gardens with raised beds. There will be purchased tables and benches for an open air classroom located in school gardens in spring. The digital textbooks prepared by Spanish and Slovak schools are published for the wide public for free on project web site and schools web sites as well as on Twinspace. They include technology of cultivation and growing cycle of chosen crops together with their use in local gastronomy.

    The realisation of a project Little Programmers is planned for 2 years. Both students and teachers are going to become familiar with different types of applications and tools Web 2.0, code in Scratch and acquired skills will be used for work with robots. All of the participants will construct and program the programmable LEGO robots and robotic toys – Blue Bot and OZOBOT Bit. They also will acquire algorithm thinking and basic programming principles. Students in international teams will solvechallenges via programmable LEGO Boost bricks in special software. Project implementors will inform the other students and teachers with basic concepts of coding and the world of robots, with new approaches of using ICT. Teachers will suggest coding and using robots in different subjects of the 1st level of Primary School. Pupils of the 1st level of Primary School, in age 7-10, will participate in project activities. Pupils from 1st grade to 4th grade will become involved in project, in number 500, from two Schools of Partnership Community.In project team there will be pupils from classic classes, pupils form classes for intellectual talented ones, even the pupils with special needs. We will corporate with preschoolers and preschooler educators. The aim of our project is to acquire pupils and teachers with basic concepts of coding and programming, application new approaches in ICT learning, to support the practical ideas for integrating programming and robotics into education of the 1st level of Primary School. We are going to form methodology for teachers, digital sources for programming and robotics, to integrate basicprogramming principles, tools and applications Web 2.0 into curriculum and educating plans. During project realisation there are planned four short-term joint staff training events for teachers and four short-term exchanges of groups of pupils. The aim of these mobilities is to exchange experience and competencies between pupils and teachers. The international teams of pupils will work on the project and tasks, on self-studying and cooperating activities for constructing and programming, robotics, new applications and tools Web 2.0. After that they will use all the knowledge in different topics of individual subjects. The teams will solve challenges of host country, focusing on constructing real objects and programming situation which can lead to understanding real life. The results of the project will evaluate via project presentation, questionnaire, pupils´ portfolios,magazine Little programmers which will be published twice during realisation. According to the results we will be able to consider the level of success in individual activities, also the international cooperation with the teachers and pupils from the Schools of Partnership Community. In the school there will be photo gallery installed, the results and progress will be published on project website, school website and in public media. The realisation of the project will increase the credit of school, the teaching qualification of Primary teachers and Preschooler teachers. We hope that working on the project is also about motivating pupils to learn. After finishing the project we plan to continue in project activities. We are going to create a new eTwinning project with the topic of programming and robotics, to realise a project of Strategy Partnership as well. Our school will offer the new Programming Club for students in future.

    "The aim of this project is to promote the use of classrooms and multimedia in order to develop new pedagogical methodologies and to promote European co-operation between teachers and pupils.The first objective is to increase the skills of teachers and students in the use of new technologies.The second objective is the training of teachers in the scientific aspects of the study of aquatic environments.Taking into account the problems of water pollution of our rivers by local structures (schools, peasant cooperatives, youth associations, neighborhood associations, etc.) is an important aspect of the development of society: Is an immediate problem, about everyone, elementary to understand whatever the level of studies, and which empowers young people called to suffer very quickly from neglect of adults. The sanitary condition of our rivers is too great a subject to leave it to politicians, technicians, and businessmen; to take an interest in it is to act as an active citizen; Is a modest but fundamental advance in democracy. That is why it is so important to show how a number of young people's actions have resulted in recognized successes, suspended administrative decisions or reconsidered the consequences of a policy. The participation of young people, their mobilization and their awareness of sustainable development are therefore at the heart of this project.The failure of the various summits (Copenhagen on climate, ...) underline the gravity of the situation and the urgency of raising awareness.This environmental education project therefore seeks to contribute to the implementation of sustainable solutions to the problems of river ecosystems. In addition to developing technical skills, this project also aims to develop an environmental awareness based on the voluntary and active participation of students ""citizens"" (Social Impact).We have planned seminars for European delegations, meetings with young people in schools and training courses for teachers; The aim is to acquire, with the methods of non-formal education, the knowledge and methods necessary to spread our concerns, denunciations and proposals to young people and the political world, in order to make them aware of the Responsibility for their own choices.Ultimately, it also aims to create a monitoring network through the adoption of a ""flow section"" of rivers by organized local groups. Thanks to an observation methodology that is simple but rigorous, standardized and easy to apply and develop, these groups will be responsible for the monitoring and protection of the watercourse on the selected section, thus contributing to a sustainable improvement of the resources Local and global water resources, as well as the process of rehabilitation of their sections, in particular."
